Star of the week @NHSBartsHealth . One of our consultant dermatologists did a full night shift supporting the nurses and then stayed till 11 am the next day helping the team sort out PPE related skin problems 💙

Absolutely this! Comment yesterday that it wasn’t as bad as expected in Kent with over 670 deaths. Reporting has become too casual

We think it’s an absolute disgrace that @MattHancock asked Dr Allin-Khan to ‘watch her tone’ when asking a very reasonable question.
Especially when considering over 180 of her colleagues have died on his watch.
Please RT if you do too.

We need honest leaders with integrity and courage to unite everyone and lead successfully. No decision about me without me me is what we need. #patients carers and patientsafety must be at the heart of everything we do. Shakspheare said Honesty is the best Legacy. – at Rochdale, England

Unfortunately we've lost a few followers due to sharing this article about the government's failings regarding Coronavirus
This is not about politics, it's about the many lives that are at stake, and ignoring it helps no one
Please follow and RT if you remain right behind us
It is heartbreaking that NHS staff have been, and continue to be, failed by those at the highest level.
We hope the media maintain this level of scrutiny for the benefit of everyone in the UK - please RT if you do too.

Dear Dan
I must admit that I was shocked too! I'd like to see a breakdown of why they need the increase when carers are expected to live on a pittance. – at Ashton-under-Lyne, England
I just hoisted my daughter out of bed, gave her her meds. I then wheeled my wife in her wheelchair to the bathroom. I then reflected on my 24hr dual care life, my possible job loss, the 1 pound increase to £67pw carers allowance.
I cried
Then I read this

I've just had a very interesting video consultation with Dr Hannan. (My GP) We were using AccRX. This is a brilliant use of technology which means I don't have to go down to the practice Especially useful during the current Coronovirus situation. Brilliant! – at Ashton-under-Lyne, England

Please be more specific about the "underlying conditions" ...for those in this category, lack of detail is more frightening than generalities. @PHE_uk @CommonsHealth
Gosh ..that would be a massive step forward. Especially sending letters to relevant doctors. We may be getting somewhere near "joined up" care at last. – at Ashton-under-Lyne, England

We also need support for residents & carers to access their full Gp record in order to maintain independence @griffglen @ManchesterGrou1 @ingridbrindle this would be an important change and step forward @doctorcaldwell in both #nhs and social carer arena
Brilliant! To all the staff at Haughton Thornley medical Centres who have worked so hard to achieve this excellent result a big "Thank You" from all the patients and the PPG! – at Ashton-under-Lyne, England
Sounds like a very good article with Amir and Jeremy Taylor in HSJ News. Unfortunately, I can't afford the subscription so I can only see the headlines. I'll have to wait until you can send it to me in a different format. Well done you 😊 – at Ashton-under-Lyne, England
What about the patient by @JeremyTaylorNB hsj.co.uk/comment/what-about… @HSJnews this really spells out what we have learned and can share with others too. Every system is perfectly designed for the results it gets @donberwick
I agree with Cancer Mum. Your health must always come first. I understand how you feel as my ill health has caused me to cancel things and I hate it. People will just want you to concentrate on getting better so you can get back in action! Take care of yourself x – at Ashton-under-Lyne, England

The Leaders in this are at @htmc0 led by @amirhannan - this is how it should be but it requires a lot of determination and hard work to set up correctly @ingridbrindle
He was my doctor and I thought he was great! I had a LTC & he gave me maximum control over my meds. He also trusted me & said " If you feel you can go to work then go. If not then I'll support you" When the story broke the whole of the waiting room was covered in cards of support – at Manchester, England
What was strange was he was perceived as a good doctor; even award winning. Thought of as a solid, ‘old school’ GP who ‘told it as it is’..
What was going on in his warped mind we’ll never know. Amazing that you took on the challenge Amir.. #respect
I am feeling very sad tonight 🙄I hoped against hope that it wouldn't come to it but it has! I want to say to all my European friends that this won't change how I feel. I'm European and proud of it. We are making a dreadful mistake and when people realise it will be too late – at Manchester, England

We should be aiming for “personal health biographies” which allow full access to relevant info to support heath, education, DWP, housing, all applications for reasonable adjustments, disability support, DVLA etc to save time create efficiency+enable right support at right time
