Super proud of @JohnRRSWelch sharing that the @uclh story! Work imagined v work done - the untold story and impact on patients & staff
Work as done vs work as imagined in surge by John Welch - how staff dealt with the reality of reduced standards. Lesson: staff are are greatest resource, look after them!! @CCC_Outreach @Int_SRRS @HSJptsafety

Restrictions will continue in all healthcare settings after 19th July to protect staff and patients - National Infection prevention and control guidance in these settings have not been downgraded #protecttheNHS @PHE_uk @ipc_uclh @IPS_Infection #StaySafe #PublicHealth @NHSEngland
Lockdown may be lifting on Monday 19 July but please continue to help stop the spread of #COVID19 & other respiratory viruses by wearing a mask in our buildings, keeping a safe 2m distance & using hand sanitizer, even if you're fully vaccinated. Thank you for your understanding.

The more I study surgery, the more I realize some of its greatest challenges are communication, empathy, and trust. Like cutting and sewing, these processes require tact and precision, but mistakes here can be harder to repair. Here's our take at @NEJM nejm.org/doi/full/10.1056/NE…

Excellent paper - findings transferable to all settings - importance of FLT & visiting at EOL. Really resonates on our experience! Impact on patients, family & staff @annabatho @LukeOShea1 @anna_petsas @TimBonnici @Pippa_Sangster @TheLisaAnderton
🌟Delighted to share our paper published today @PalliativeMedJ. Clarity about #endoflife visits during #COVID19 is needed, + #leadership and #support within clinical teams to promote #selfcare and #reflection for #HCPs. Read the #openaccess paper here: journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.…

This is a perfect illustration of the mindset that needs to change and why women *alone* will never effect lasting change. Men have a vital role to play in changing the status quo as #HeForShe #WomenInMedicine #WeNeedGenderEquity #EqualPayNow
Becker Spine Review in November 2020 reported that "female orthopedic surgeons earn on average $122,677 per year less than their male counterparts, according to Doximity's 2020 physician compensation report." It is not 'greedy' to ask for fair pay. It is time to close this gap.
Wish I had the words to explain to all just how truly incredible and indispensable our Operating Department Practitioners #ODPs are - day in day out - but especially over the past year in the face of #Covid19. Thank you for everything you do. #ODPday #NHS

This is the best one yet. Hands down. Because it’s funny. And also true. So true it actually makes me really very angry. Still funny though. #wellness #wellbeing #Resilience #medtwitter #burnout #mentalhealth #MentalHealthMatters @DGlaucomflecken
