In our recent study during invasive procedures using a NASA taskload questionnaire, we found distractions in 55% of cases, with some being potentially serious

At times when intense concentration is needed, we recommend minimising distractions

Multitasking raises risk of error!

We won't hit the vaccination targets without good communication. @STWorg et al new handbook (especially liked pages 9-10) it matters what you say and how you say it. @BristolUni lessons for anyone talking about the vaccine.

So true @brigidrussell51

[Brigid Russell @brigidrussell51]

Some things need an urgent response. Yet for many of our intractable issues, we need more space.

Space to listen, make sense, & think.

Many tell of a relentless pace which leaves no space; pace for pace's sake.

If we pause, share feelings & ideas, we'll get further - won't we?

Mental health is a big issue, talking with staff who are working from home or back in the office is vital. The ACAS guidance on mental health at work during Covid 19 is a great starting point with good advice to share with your employees:
