So helpful. And thoughtfully conveyer. Every health professional on the frontline should read this
Here’s a short guide to compassionate phone communication and sharing uncertainty during COVID-19 that myself and colleagues developed (thanks to @jimfieldsmith for design input). Please use and share widely. @WestMidHospital @ChelwestFT @drkathrynmannix #covid19UK #pallicovid

@wingmayK @GiskinDay @doctorkayleigh @IMEweb @jamesfm55 Already hearing lots of moral distress from nurses & others: feeling unable to provide end of life care in the same way, want to limit their exposure & visitation limited. Some use of technology had been helpful but some family find it more distressing.

Calling the humanities & arts. Healthcare is about comforting & care as well as cure. How do we comfort thru PPE & limiting exposure? We need new ways to share our humanity with our patients who are scared & isolated @GiskinDay @doctorkayleigh @morley_georgina @IMEweb @jamesfm55

Nice that everyone back home applauded NHS workers but can everyone in the future just support tax increases, a government that actually funds the NHS, pay nurses what they deserve, enable nurses to take breaks, paid study leave, under&post grad bursaries & safe staffing levels.

Please join this NHS COVID research to help understand who is most at risk and where the hot spots are so we can focus resources and save more lives.

I suspect many folks, when they see this, will be adding Britannia Hotels to the list of businesses they will not be frequenting when this crisis is over.
Aviemore Coylumbridge Hotel sent this letter to staff today. Not just fired but chucked out of their accommodation with no notice and no redundancy pay! @BritanniaLtd Britannia Hotels should be ashamed of themselves. Certainly no "room at the inn" here, disgusting.

@Amandaepps123 Used to skip injecting at lunchtime a lot at school. Don't know the patient, but for me it was more of a choice than actually forgetting. Reasons: couldn't see the harm/benefit, wanted to play football, found injecting an inconvenience.

Feedback from Imperial med students overwhelmingly v positive: ‘insightful’, ‘engaging’, ‘informative’ ‘gained so much more by speaking’ with PWD. Thank you experts be experience @imperial_SoM
@PeteDaviesType1 @wingmayK I believe the day was quite a landmark for #LanguageMatters Pete, so sorry you weren’t there too! Maybe there’ll be other similar opportunities. It’ll be interesting to see feedback - & the products students create to spread the word more widely! 🤞
