@BritishIMA Hello, we are rolling out the nasal/throat lateral flow testing for employees in the office. Do you have a position statement on these during the fast?

Stevens: "If you sneak into a hospital... and then stick it up on social media, saying 'this proves hospitals are empty, the whole thing is a hoax', you're not only responsible for changing behaviour that'll kill people but it is an insult."

Brilliant answer to the Empty Hospitals false news just now at the press conference @NHSEngland @BBCNews

@HelloMcQueen Dwight D. Eisenhower is quoted as saying "Peace-time plans are of no particular value, but peace-time planning is indispensable.” So having 100% at least thing about it is a very good sign. Apologies for the military style of the quote but still very relevant I think.

That is worrying news as people are heading up to Christmas with “guidance” from HMG

Today in the @HSJnews room it has felt like it did during late March /early April - with news of hospitals in trouble coming in every 30mins or so

@t1mwilliams @SubashiniMFryer @MyClinOutcomes @NHSGIRFT @PHIN_UK The problem I come across is that people don’t seem very interested in actual data when they make their choices.

[Doug Wright @DrDougWright]

Great insights and really resonates in our current time

Well done to @Telegraph compiler Tim King for coming up with this!

@parcelforce I eventually spoke to someone who has now added the details needed. It didn't help that you sent it to the wrong local depo before getting to the right one. Now won't be delivered til Monday. At National depo 7/11 will be with me 18/11.

[Doug Wright @DrDougWright]

@parcelforce you've had my parcel for 8 days, tried to deliver but need more details. Absolutely impossible to speak to a person!!

[Doug Wright @DrDougWright]

Fantastic, congratulations

It has taken six years, but we have consultants on the @PHIN_UK website!! Huge thanks to the professional associations who have supported this, and especially the 1,000 pioneers who have been the first to approve their activity data for publication. And well done to our team!
