Faces of the NHS has been quiet due to personal health reasons

I’ve finally posted an update on why via my ⁦@FacesoftheNHS⁩ instagram page. I promise I’ll be back in 2021👇🏻

For now, I’m sharing my journey on IG @alexandraelaineadams

See you soon

1yr on I still feel every emotion from the #TEDxNHS stage
Will people listen? Will it change?
In #COVID19 times my message is more vital than ever
All 1.5 million stars of our #NHS burning bright, dying, falling
Hold our stars tight + let our light shine🌟

Govt may have dropped ‘Protect the NHS’ from the slogan... but we must.

Adequate PPE, testing & proper pay for ALL workers.

For anybody who is, or knows anyone, struggling post-ICU in these #Covid_19 times, I wrote a blog on my experiences around ‘ICU survivorship’ and how we’re not talking about this enough when it comes to making better support more readily available. Hope it helps 🙏🏻

[Alexandra Elaine Adams @alexandra_DBmed]

In these #Covid_19 times, nobody is talking about what it REALLY means to be an 'ICU survivor'

It's not all victory and triumph. It's trauma that lives on far longer than the virus itself

I wrote a blog about my personal experiences of ICU to help others https://t.co/dMqx9wQTgD

It’s been a while, and a pretty grim ride in between, but I’m hoping to get @FacesoftheNHS back up on the road soon!

Before and After.

What a difference a few weeks and some sunshine can make

Yay to headstands in the garden, sun, home and family

Some drastic measures and 200 miles taken but I’m grateful for life and health. Always remember to tell your loved ones you love them

Faces of the NHS update: I was hopeful in sharing with you a face + story of our amazing #NHS workforce daily, to lift spirits + celebrate our teamwork, but am currently a bit poorly, so apologies it’s been quiet - but I PROMISE @FacesoftheNHS will be back with you all soon! 💙

[Alexandra Elaine Adams @alexandra_DBmed]

I am a face of the NHS
You are a face of the NHS
We are the faces of the NHS

Happy #EasterMonday to all the incredible #facesofthenhs

Share with any #NHS staff that may like this template for ID badges/stickers on top of their PPE! 🌈

[Faces of the NHS @FacesoftheNHS]

***NHS STAFF***
Faces of the NHS has created a template, free for all to use, as stickers/signs/ID, on top of PPE, to remind all patients and staff that underneath the PPE we are all friendly faces of the NHS!

Spread the word for anyone who would like these! 🌈

Nothing better than being able to help out your colleagues with a bit of ice-cream on this warm, sunny Good Friday. Hope it helps to cool you all down @dr_mattmorgan @UHWCriticalCare @CV_UHB! 🍨

[Faces of the NHS @FacesoftheNHS]

@dr_mattmorgan @UHWCriticalCare So glad I could help - just hope I bought enough to go round everyone! Enjoy 🍨

You’re never “just” something in the #nhs 🌈

[Alexandra Elaine Adams @alexandra_DBmed]

This was posted through my door today

I said to one of my dr neighbours when chatting a few weeks ago that I‘m “just a medical student”

I didn’t expect their kid to respond with this heartwarming message:

“You’re not JUST a medical student”.

My 💙. Thank you for making my day

[Alexandra Elaine Adams @alexandra_DBmed]

Thanks for being part of this #facesofthenhs campaign video @dr_mattmorgan! And thanks for all your incredible work in #ICU, during these tough times, and always. Fellow NHS colleagues - do that yourselves in the video below - I hope it can help to lift some spirits somehow 💙
