@Mads_Goodwin @tanscurrie So well deserved! Congrats Mads, definitely a GWH ⭐️

[Madeline Goodwin @Mads_Goodwin]

This was a lovely surprise yesterday - although a bit weird seeing myself on the GWH social accounts when I'm usually the one posting 😂 Thanks so much to @tanscurrie for nominating me ☺️🌸

The GWH in Swindon says it has experienced a "significant spike" in patients being treated for Covid-19.

[Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust @GWH_NHS]

Today, we are treating 66 COVID-19 patients, compared with around 45 a week ago.

Of the patients needing our care today, seven of them are on ICU.

This means our intensive care unit is becoming incredibly busy, and work is underway to extend ICU bed capacity.

@Kevin_McNamara1 @SLT_LuciSpurway @ThisisDavina @RCSLT @TheMenoCharity @mymenopausedr It’s already being planned 😄

[Sam Walklett @Dolomitidiva]

Enjoy your retirement Julie, thanks so much for all your support with Staff Health and Wellbeing and for championing our initiatives. Tea trolley companion extraordinaire ☕️! 💙 @GWH_NHS @Kevin_McNamara1

[Julie-Anne Marshman 💙 @marshman_julie]

Huge thank you to the most amazing organisation. I have been truly blessed to have had the privilege of being Chief Nurse and to have worked alongside such inspirational, selfless, brilliant people - you are all outstanding ❤️ @GWH_NHS @Kevin_McNamara1

@GWH_NHS @hellie66 We’re on the case and are having them printed today 😀👍

[Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust @GWH_NHS]

Thank you to everyone who has offered to donate items such as food and drink.

Due to the increase in COVID-19 patients, we must reduce the footfall on site so we ask that people do not turn up to the hospital with donations.

One of our members of staff, Giles De Burgh, has written a poem that we feel perfectly reflects the efforts that our staff have put in this year in the fight against coronavirus.

Thank you to every one of the GWH family. We are so grateful for the work you have done.

[Sam Walklett @Dolomitidiva]

I’m so incredibly proud to be part of such an amazing team who have been supported by @BF_NHS and our volunteering team. So many people went the extra mile this year to put support in place for the GWH family. One huge team effort 💙 @GWH_NHS

[Great Western Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust @GWH_NHS]

The biggest congratulations to our incredible health and wellbeing team who have just won the national @NursingTimes award for the best wellbeing initiative.

We are so proud of you and want to say a huge thank you from all of us at GWH for the support you have given us all.

[Sam Walklett @Dolomitidiva]

What Amanda said! Let’s do this GWH 👍

[Sam Walklett @Dolomitidiva]

@Kevin_McNamara1 This was a lovely surprise today and I am bit overwhelmed really as it’s thanks to an amazing team of people who help and support me. None of the work I do would be possible without everyone pulling together as a team. Thanks @GWH_NHS @BF_NHS

[Sam Walklett @Dolomitidiva]

@WorcsBoschCare Hi Aiden thank you, will do

[Sam Walklett @Dolomitidiva]

@WorcsBoschCare how can this be acceptable that my parents in their 70s with a service contract with you have just been told nobody can come out to them until Wednesday leaving them with no heating or hot water until then? Not good customer service at all!
