Just to be clear - Ventilators do not save lives.....they are just clever hoovers.
The

greatest assets are its people...
It doesn’t matter how many ventilators/beds u have without

teams people will still die.
People save lives

Hospitals in England now have four times as many ventilators compared to when the pandemic started.

Vaccination of NHS staff is now a central issue. I’ve had my 3 jabs. I believe ALL colleagues should be vaccinated (unless a clear medical reason for not) to protect patients & each other. I believe in listening & responding compassionately to those hesitant, to address concerns.

Anyone who thinks that therapies are not essential in COVID19 needs to be given a firm welcome into a red zone & shown the patients
The

Dear Hospital Managers everywhere
This is how exciting chairs are to people who work in
#TeamNHS

They fundraise for chairs because that’s how much of a difference seating systems make
Invest in appropriate chairs and see your length of stay reduce.

A very exciting week in Poole critical care our new chair has arrived can't to start using it
