Congratulations!

[MediShout @MediShout]

Big News!📣 @MediShout have successfully received an @innovateuk grant to support healthcare organisations better respond to #covid19 by 1) enabling hospitals to listen to the voices of frontline staff 2) using AI-analytics to predict problems in advance e.g. faulty equipment.

It would be interesting to see the statistics of this

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Doctors say they are deeply concerned at the number of patients acquiring #COVID19 in NHS hospitals. Testing capacity, availability of side rooms and cubicles and poor ventilation in non high-risk areas are all cited as concerns @Garethiacobucci https://t.co/bCARAaCnHn

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

As the UK prepares to emerge from lockdown, @DrZoeFritz et al urge our leaders to develop an ethical plan. Concerns are mounting about a lack of transparency around the ethical agenda underpinning decisions, they say https://t.co/u4oKbJ4Sfl

Everyone wants to 'follow the science'. But we can't waste time on blame https://t.co/LzM2CnSagc

Boris Johnson drops NHS fee for migrant healthcare workers in humiliating U-turn https://t.co/NVcI2pwSRv

[Medact @Medact]

Great article by @afuahirsch assessing the public health responses to COVID-19 in Ghana + Senegal, with a focus on their mass contact tracing programmes + advanced pandemic planning

Eurocentrism must not drown out these valuable public health lessons

[Ian Higginson 🌈 @RCEM_VP]

So as numbers of patients attending EDs rise it will become apparent how broken parts of the urgent/emergency care system were, and how we urgently need change. Capacity now further reduced and it is unthinkable to pack patients into crowded EDs. @RCollEM

[FCACovid19 @Covid19Fca]

Really interesting article from Bradford Anaesthetic Consultant about the #Challenges she faces treating #COVID19 patients.

We need to do more to support our BAME doctors

[Denis Campbell @denis_campbell]

Over three-quarters of BAME doctors fear they will contract Covid-19, finds @RCPLondon https://t.co/VrkA9epKiE

[Najeeb Rahman @NajeebR777]

Fear associated behaviours linked to outbreaks in other settings such as Ebola impaired healthcare access as well. Need to figure out how to operationalise such learning so that we don’t just reflect on trends but making timely decisions for impact @Covid19Fca

[Doctors Worldwide @dwwuk]

#Coronavirus has highlighted how #healthcare systems are struggling to cope with this #pandemic. Now imagine the struggles faced by those without access to basic medical care. Help us provide vital medical supplies & #PPE to the most vulnerable communities https://t.co/GU6A5xjlwi

[Najeeb Rahman @NajeebR777]

Was a great session. Need to see how @WeShareHlthcare and @Covid19Fca can collaborate to leverage greater benefit against #Covid_19

[The BMA @TheBMA]

Many of our members are deeply concerned about the risks of a second-spike in COVID-19 cases. That's why we're clear that until case numbers are much lower, we should not consider reopening schools - good to see our concerns making front page news today https://t.co/x6QjnL5AAS

[The BMA @TheBMA]

"We need to have assurances that we have a low enough level of COVID-19 in the community" before schools open @CNagpaul tells #bbcaq - read our letter on our concerns over public health: https://t.co/lK64hc8Hna

[Prof. Christina Pagel - @chrischirp.bsky.social @chrischirp]

Great @bmj_latest editorial on urgent need for coordinated but local testing. Also calls @IndependentSage report: "well argued, wide ranging, and evidence based, and refreshing in its openness about uncertainties, disagreements, and debate on key issues"

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"No action plan could undo decades of political neglect. The social care system was in crisis before #COVID19 arrived. Government must now give the same priority to protecting the social care system as it has done to the NHS" https://t.co/ypil5mC23O @hughalderwick @HealthFdn
