Portsmouth ED consultant Dr Pete Russell loves his beard. But as the ED team at Queen Alexandra Hospital gear up for a long-term effort to deal with everything Covid 19 throws at us, he has generously agreed to shave the whole thing off - as long as we can raise £1,000. All proceeds will go towards the official staff fund to help keep us cheerful during challenging times to come.

UPDATE: We’ve smashed our target in a few hours! Please do keep donating - all funds will go to NHS frontline staff wellbeing. Thanks to everyone for your support, and to Dr Pete for being a star.
