Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020. The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope. Please watch this 2min clip.

@ShaunLintern @SivaAnandaciva @TheKingsFund New hospital - not enough beds because projections for reduced need not met…. I often return to this report when folk claim the NHS is inefficient & can readily be made more efficient We have -fewer beds -higher bed occupancy -shorter length of stay than most European

What a way to start the week! Such impressive QI work from the first #Exemplar Group Panel. Covering paperless handovers, pressure area care and fluid balance documentation. So much being done to improve patient care @uclh @GrewcockDave @PJA72 @lindaflynn51

Healthcare free at the point of delivery-what an incredible vision. Even more remarkable is in your darkest moments complete strangers showing they care, doing all they can for you/your loved ones. The NHS has never been nearer to collapse. Change is needed now to save it #NHS75

Deadline to request @rcn replacement ballot paper extended to Thursday 15th June 12 noon #SOSNHS #VoteForStrike
