Neil was incredible. Kind, generous, unwavering in his support. He was the most amazing person you could ever hope to meet, let alone be lucky enough to call a friend.
As the line from Wicked says, "People come into our lives for a reason." I just wish it had been for longer 💔

Our friend @Neil_J_Smart has given his
final lecture, the apprentices learning from his wise words, great times, & hard work - patients getting the very best. Legacy exists in the actions of those that follow & the stories continuing to be told & yes mate, “You did good” RIP

@bottomdoc @Neil_J_Smart @Mcfark @ACPGBI @ColorectalDis @eurohernias @AmericanHernia @escp_tweets A wonderful man. And even in his toughest hours was unbelievably kind in recognising how it was affecting all around him trying to support him. He was a giant in his field but more importantly just a wonderful human being I had the genuine privilege of spending time with.

@bottomdoc @Neil_J_Smart @Mcfark @ACPGBI @ColorectalDis @eurohernias @AmericanHernia @escp_tweets Neil, championed patient voices before it was trendy, gave me space to be heard, opportunities to bring patient led research forward. I’ll miss his wit, kindness, shoe-swapping, handbag-holding brilliance. May he rest in peace🙏

You made his son immensely proud of his Dad & showed him a little insight into his dad’s many achievements - I suspect he will hear many more “Neil stories” from now on 🙏🏻

I first presented at @BritishHernia in 2018 as a patient. Never in my wildest dreams did I think that 6 years later I'd be presenting my research as as PhD student!
Wouldn't be happening without the support and guidance of @Neil_J_Smart and @pinkney_t
