A massive thank you to @asthmacharity for donating these fantastic walkie-talkies to critical care @DBH_NHSFT. So helpful when staff are in PPE and in seprate areas managing emergencies.
To #NHS colleagues who are being asked to help in #criticalcare - thankyou. But most importantly - please don’t be frightened. Critical care staff will look after you. They are highly skilled & well resourced. It is a very safe place to be at this time. Just follow IPC protocol.
Thankyou to all those businesses, ex-patients, families and staff who have sent gifts of food to #criticalcare at @DBH_NHSFT. All the staff are working so hard caring for patients and preparing for the surge
