Dr Medhat Atalla, a much-loved and respected doctor at Doncaster Royal Infirmary, has sadly passed away at the hospital, following treatment for Covid-19. As a team we are truly saddened and we will miss him every single day. https://t.co/StXUvuPxb4
We have discharged a few clinically appropriate cases of #COVID19 to their own home, advised to self isolate a further 14 days, monitor their symptoms & take necessary precautions - no visitors, social distancing within household. Guidance so far @ECDC_EU https://t.co/ZrWh1TfOCF
Flatten the curve - help us stop the spread of #coronavirus by staying at home when possible, reduce contact with others outside of your household and wash your hands regularly. Indoors dancing is fine - just do it a few metres apart preferably with Personal Protection Equipment

People with frailty discharged from hospital experience ⬆️mortality &resource use-even after short ‘ambulatory’ admissions. This group is at ⬆️risk of poor outcomes. Systems should consider their post hospital discharge responses for those with Frailty https://t.co/FHwlOXPdBT
Best feeling ever hearing the following from a patient's daughter today "thank you for giving me my dad back. He's a different person now he's off all these meds" #wepharmacists#deprescribing ❤️
At 80 we are 50% less strong than when we were 30 unless we do something about it. Regular strength training makes movement easier at any age and is an investment for our later years. #strengthsaveslives#trainhardfighteasy#healthyageing 💪💪
