This account - originally about acute community Geriatrics - was loaned to the cause of staff well-being during covid. It’s probably time to resume its original function, but here’s a reminder of how once upon a time people were worried about the distress of HCPs ⬇️ 😢

@WestSuffolkPsyc That is so wonderful to hear. Thank you for feeding back x

@HCW_Welfare This site was a lifeline for those of us tasked with setting up staff support services. The clear plans and accessible infographics were invaluable. Never underestimate the impact you have had across the country. With grateful thanks from Suffolk.

Hey @trishgreenhalgh could you possibly unblock @DrRobgalloway & @DrLindaDykes? (This is Linda btw) - don’t think either of us have done anything to be blocked deliberately so reckon we are likely casualties of you needing to use mass blocking of someone’s followers tactics...

@seahorse4000 So many people are not ok ATM. For any leaders looking for ideas what else they could do, or individuals wanting to check they’re doing all they can to maximise their own well-being, check out our two guidance documents at https://t.co/fkirmrBpjd (+ links to infographics)

Incase you didn’t catch some of the resources we developed for you the first time around! #COVIDWellbeing

#CovidWellbeing
#COVID19 unprecedented so to save maximum lives we need to focus #CapableCalm
If demands overwhelming to save as many lives as possible we can’t fully empathise with every single patient and loved one - not because we don’t care
Because we care SO much
#kindness

Many NHS staff, despite best efforts ⬇️, will end up providing less good care than we ever imagined as staffing ratios worsen and it’s going to do serious harm to our morale and potentially, our mental health. Any words of wisdom from experts in this field? @WDeanMD @AlysColeKing

@nataliemitton Not quite the same, but overlapping, we have guidance for organisations on maintaining staff wellbeing during the pandemic response, which applies just as much the 2nd time round (albeit fewer PPE worries now cf. spring) https://t.co/fkirmrBpjd

Delighted to have created this infographic for @EMSWorldOFCL - many parts of the USA have seen COVID outbreaks worse than we have yet had in the U.K, placing an enormous burden on EMS in particular. It’s #NeverTooLate to activate active self-care strategies.
