This is why I feel we have a moral duty to support and preserve the NHS for all those who come after us.
I hadn’t recovered from an illness as quickly as usual, so I looked for help.

What a blast! What a weekend! To my friends and colleagues who wished me well on Twitter; I failed to keep up with social media so did not respond individually but have seen and read all the posts here. Thank you

The Margins to Centre conference is extending submission until the 5th of December! We've had some amazing submissions come in so far, but unfortunately few on #Disability history. We really want to include and promote disability history in the conference this year!!

Patients at @StaffsChildrens can travel around the hospital in style thanks to the efforts of a kind-hearted consultant.

Late in the day we were running short of consumables. Senior manager grabbed a trolley, went down to supplies and brought back a full trolley herself. Thank you to the unseen thousands who help make it all happen at the bedside. I love the NHS. #PICU @Nhsmillion
Took our first adult patient with COVID-19 off ventilator in our PICU. First words. “I need suction”. Second words. “Can I do my own suction?” Made our PICU team laugh. And cry. #PICU
Funny this. Flipped from PICU to adult COVID ICU in one week. Time spent training and supporting team. Not a single action plan or SOP. There is a god! #PICU

Boris Johnson has previously suggested that he did not believe in a free NHS
Please RT and follow if you agree that no one with those views should become the Prime Minister of our country and help us oppose it

Dear Matt - I’m a tech enthusiast too. But having just experienced NHS services in a fairly major way, may I just say that what really makes the difference is the WONDERFUL PEOPLE who work for the health service. Please do more for them: money, numbers, conditions, recognition...
An app that can help patients find the shortest A&E queue & help relieve pressure on A&E staff. Good for patients, good for clinicians. Another step forward in the NHS tech revolution
