Have been finding the new ERC guidelines today of interest. No major changes as expected but interesting specifics. Especially the importance of correct pad placement! Education, Education!! #RCUK5thMay #resus21 @AndyFoo7 @SimandResusglos @gloshospitals

Today we’ve reached our 1st milestone in the @gloshospitals Edward Jenner Vaccination Hub #EJVH - so far 10,000 health & social care workers in Gloucestershire have received their COVID vaccination. Our #OneTeam approach has been truly amazing, I couldn’t be more thankful.

It’s both moving and inspiring that we have great colleagues prepared to roll their sleeves up and help out! Don’t underestimate power of these acts. Thank you #togetherwevegotthis
Shouldn’t be surprised (as it happened in 1st wave) but the sight of hugely experienced surgeons answering the call to support @gloshospitals Critical Care in nurse/HCA roles is epitome of leadership and divisional/cross divisional working @drfrocester @Steventwigg69 thank you 💙

“If you film an empty corridor at 9pm & say this proves this hospitals are empty, it is a lie...You are not only responsible for changing behaviour which will kill people, but it is an insult to staff working their guts out on critical care.” So true 👏 teapawt.net/sbattrawden/status/134…

If you are concerned or need help with a #deterioratingpatient please do not hesitate to ask us for help. We know the hospitals are very busy, and staff may be working in unfamiliar locations-you are not alone 💙 @gloshospitals @AndyFoo7 @respiratoryCGH @drfrocester

There are no ITU beds in the valleys. So you might be 23 and invincible if you get COVID but what if you crash your car? Or a friend takes an overdose or a parent needs emergency surgery? Guess what! No beds for you either. And THAT’S how this affects everyone. Rant over.

Lockdown WILL save lives this month... vaccines WILL this winter! @Knibbsey @cummingsradio @CraigMacFarlan7 @BBCGlos @BBCRadio4 @dimbleby_jd @bbcpointswest @KenGoodwinITV PLEASE keep doing all you are doing to highlight that it’s the public that CAN save lives @Deborah62655228
Replying to @drfrocester
Cheers Dave - agreed. So while vaccines do their job in removing the deaths we desperately need lockdown to help out hospital wards and ICUs Two prongs

I've tried to add to @COVID19actuary @ActuaryByDay excellent graph from covid-arg.com & look at how vaccination impacts hospital & ICU admission Several assumptions - assumed vaccination 100% protective (its best protection is against disease progression) 1/6

Singers of Twitter! Help needed! We are trying to boost our intensive care unit morale by assembling a fight song. The more professional the better. Anyone know any theatre performers?
