A student who received outstanding GCSE results has paid tribute to his NHS doctor dad – who tragically died from coronavirus while working on the front-line.

Taha Khan, 16, said he hoped his dad would be “proud” after picking up his results, including six top grade 9s, at school in Bolton, Greater Mancs., on Thursday.

Dr Nasir Kahn, a consultant physician at Dewsbury and District Hospital, West Yorks., died after contracting the virus aged 46 at the height of the pandemic in April.

Taha, who is from Bolton will go to Runshaw College to do A-levels in biology, chemistry and maths after achieving two 9s, two 8s, two 7s and a 6 at GCSE.

Speaking about Dr Khan, he said: “My dad was working when the virus happened when others took time off to be safe he still went to work,”

“I have done this for my father.”

Headteacher Martin Knowles said: “Taha is such a bright and motivated pupil from a wonderful family.

Dad-of-three Dr Khan was working at Dewsbury and District Hospital when he fell ill with the virus in early April.

He was admitted to Bolton NHS Foundation Trust on 6 April and died on April 29.

Dedication

Speaking at the time one of his other sons, Mahad Ali Khan, said: “He dedicated his life to his family and profession.

“He was incredibly strong and we always turned to him for support as he was a shining light of guidance.”

He described his father as “hard-working, compassionate, humble and loyal”.

Mahad added: “He always put his family and friends before himself and was extremely giving.”

Martin Barkley, chief executive of Mid Yorkshire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, said Dr Khan was “a very well-liked and valued member of the team”.

Since you are here

Since you are here, we wanted to ask for your help.

Journalism in Britain is under threat. The government is becoming increasingly authoritarian and our media is run by a handful of billionaires, most of whom reside overseas and all of them have strong political allegiances and financial motivations.

Our mission is to hold the powerful to account. It is vital that free media is allowed to exist to expose hypocrisy, corruption, wrongdoing and abuse of power. But we can't do it without you.
