As we head into winter, hospital admissions in England with Covid are increasing sharply (again), plus flu and RSV starting their annual rise.

The year round nature of Covid could not be more obvious!

There's also a lot of Rhinovirus (causes common cold) around.

@rcpsychWM @HWHCT_NHS @Gul1976 Good to meet and discuss key issues and shared priorities 👍

[RCPsych West Midlands @rcpsychWM]

Thank you to Robert Mackie, CEO @HWHCT_NHS & @JohnDevapriam for your time this afternoon with Dr Muhammad Gul @rcpsychWM on how we can work with the ICB to help improve mental health services, patient care, workforce issues and raise the profile of mental health issues @Gul1976

@MedRegoncall1 Hi, You are tagging the wrong people. We do not work at Worcester acute trust.

[John Devapriam @JohnDevapriam]

@deeleyc6 Hi Claire, I do not work at Worcester acute Trust and therefore not aware of this issue. I work in a different trust (Herefordshire and Worcestershire health and care trust)

[Amanda Pritchard @AmandaPritchard]

To those colleagues, my message is simple: you are welcome, you are a valued member of our community, and that community should look after you.

I'm talking to leaders later about how we can help. In the meantime, support is available if you need it.

NHS staff across the country are, as always, playing their part in response to this week's riots.

But we shouldn’t let dedication to duty disguise the fact that seeing this flare-up of racism will leave many colleagues feeling afraid and unwelcome.

2023 was the year when everyone in Britain finally realised with Brexit they'd bought a Dead Parrot

Brexit has completely failed for UK, say clear majority of Britons – poll

Only one in 10 feel leaving the EU has helped their finances, while just 9% say it has benefited the NHS, despite £350m a week pledge according to new poll

The key points about vaping (E-cigarettes) can be easily summarised.

If you smoke, vaping is much safer; if you don’t smoke, don’t vape; marketing vapes to children is utterly unacceptable.

I expand on these points in the article below.

@gary_morg84 @HWHCT_NHS All the best in your new role. You will great at it 👍🎉

[John Devapriam @JohnDevapriam]

5 years ago, today, I started work at @HWHCT_NHS as medical director. There have been ups and downs (with a pandemic thrown in), but what a rewarding journey it’s been. In my view, best decision I made to work in the best Trust with the best colleagues.

[John Devapriam @JohnDevapriam]

@Emi1y_Carney @KatepikePike Congratulations to you both 🎉🥂

[John Devapriam @JohnDevapriam]
