Staff wellbeing relies on first achieving compliant and safe staffing standards. Only then can we ensure our teams feel supported, have development opportunities and are able to provide the quality & compassionate care they strive to deliver and the care that patients deserve.
An honour to speak to critical care nurses. We need to listen to them too. Poor pay, arriving 1hr early to find somewhere to park, & pay for, too busy to drink & eat leading to fatigue, dehydration & UTIs, coping mechanisms taken away by COVID, poor sleep yet still they turn up x

Ukraine is running out of tranexamic acid and antibiotics right now. The icu community has links, and want to help. Anyone have access to a large supply? Are there humanitarian airdrops we can link this too? @karimbrohi@trishgreenhalgh@DrMCecconi@ICS_updates please retweet
Good luck in your new role Matron @rhyssqsdm Thank you for all your hard work & support you have given @HarrogateICU especially over the last year & a half in uncertain times. You will be missed!!
