@joannamcgovern1 @felly500 Thanks, I'll be in touch

[Ben Loryman @BenBloryman]

Sheffield ED staff need to be aware of this new service. We could use some leaflets etc. I will investigate.

[Ben Loryman @BenBloryman]

@felly500 Most importantly, the evidence shows that treating homeless patients with compassion makes them less likely, not more likely, to use emergency departments more often. Challenge anyone who suggests otherwise!

@felly500 Putting tissue viability into city centre substance abuse services seems like a particularly good idea for this group. Having a 'one stop shop' that included clean clothes, mental health and housing support might be good.

@Ben_Titford Not surprised, saw a couple last weekend

@DrSusieC @Kangaroosteve Referrals to the retrospectroscopy service? Mayhem & M sounds like a bun fight and Bethlehem & M sounds like a desperate appeal for devine interjection

@VJSunshine01 In fact there is good evidence that, in the UK, the public debt goes down when public spending goes up (except during wars) and vice versa. It appears that Keynes was right. 'The public debt' is a good excuse for tax cuts though.

@Abradacamera @martin_farley @tamerius Just finished Rebel Ideas by @matthewsyed. It tells about a Jewish student who managed to 'de-radicalise' a fellow student, who was also a prominent far right leader, by gradually developing enough trust for him to question the ideas he'd learnt in his echo chamber. It can work.

@barrowboy2 There's no place for panic anyway. This virus appears to have a similar infectiousness and virulence as the flu, which the NHS copes with every year. The most important task is ensuring our colleagues can use the protective gear, and don't come in if they're sick. It will be OK.

Got randomly abused by angry driving bloke while cycling with my son today. Previously I’ve found the total ignore to be best response but today tried shouting ‘I love you!’ instead. Result - slack jawed confusion and bewilderment.

[Ben Loryman @BenBloryman]

We've seen a few scared students returning from China with the snuffles. It is good practice for us using the protective gear, but the students were fine and most other people will be too. Please don't panic. https://t.co/glGYpvc915

Can anyone spot what's wrong with the design of the 'iconic blue passport' as depicted in today's Daily Express?

@VJSunshine01 The idea of the Prevent Program is to get upstanding members of the community to explain the error of our ways to us. Best of luck to them with that one.

@life1scott @chrisconnolly83 Lots to be Proud of yesterday. ED was a seething mass of paramedics and patients but nurses and SWs were troopers, docs and ACPs kept waiting time about 2 hours, and Renal, Infectious Diseases and Same Day Emergency Care all deserve mentions in dispatches

This is very sinister indeed ...
