From next week, a new hospital will open to provide support for thousands more patients with #coronavirus. Based at @ExCeLLondon, NHS Nightingale will provide up to 500 beds equipped with ventilators and oxygen — with capacity increasing if needed. https://t.co/iafYzpiGCN

@TfL Thank you for making my two days in London a lot easier than I thought they would be. Brilliant idea and definitely helps when you’ve got a bulky winter coat on 🤰🏼👍🏼

@nlbloomer I once referred one of my patients to an Ophthalmology Consultant... and ended the phone call with ‘ok, thanks, loveyoubye!’. It had been a looooong day 🤦🏼‍♀️

@nlbloomer If it’s any consolation, this happens more often than you’d think! I get a lot of patients coming in with back/hip pain from a renal source. Get well soon lovely lady 💕

Before you try and pour yourself into other people's wellbeing, make sure you're not running empty. Self-love, which includes self-care habits, is a must. Look out for number one, so you can genuinely help the people around you.

I’ve decided we need to start a worldwide #twitter campaign of good #RealisticCPRonTV as it will inform the public better & may even lead to lives being saved. And we know the importance of good #BystanderCPR So go on #medical folks of twitter spread the word. #RealisticCPRonTV

Too busy to take time off work? Appointments with a GP, nurse or other healthcare professional are now available in the evenings and at weekends, either at your local practice or another nearby NHS service.

CPR is not a treatment for #ordinarydying. Every instance of futile CPR - which is what will happen if nobody has sorted out the protection of a DNACPR for someone whose life is coming to an end - is a tragedy. Please, doctors, nurses, patients, families - #havetheconversation.

Today in my role as nurse I wore many hats. Let me tell you a story about how the day went... #NurseLife
#medtwitter
Came in this am to discover my pt from yesterday had imaging overnight that revealed catastrophic injuries, along with her sepsis and multi-system organ failure

[Tonks @Ellie_Tonkin]

@rn_critcare 💔 you are truly amazing for going above and beyond. Her family will always remember what you did. This is why I love nursing. Lots of love x

@amateuradam Well deserved! I’ve bought two 🙈 and told most people I know to sign. Amazing way to spread the word/awareness 👏🏻
