@DrLKVaughan@mevparekh Sheesh. That’s more than double my £16.04 per hour as a band 6 nurse (and that’s before deductions may I add). 🤪 you know that nursing assistants/ HCA only get around £9.21ph?
Today I roamed my department asking staff to tell me 2 good things they had done today. Everyone struggled despite the fact they’d all done great work. I’m going to do this daily. We need to be celebrating our wins now more than ever.
Dear @BorisJohnson. My wife and I are both NHS consultants. Our child is now off school for 14 days due to a child in her yr group testing positive #covid. How will the NHS workforce survive with this rule? Our skills are needed now more than ever at work @Jacqui_Smith1@UHBCEO
@caitysmyth On the 'understanding of masks' question: There are a number of scientific papers which look into the efficacy of face coverings/masks.
Are you talking about surgical/industrial grade respirators. N95 (clue is in the number) filter approx 95% of airborne particles as a minimum.
@caitysmyth Most of the research looks at the efficacy of face coverings/surgical masks, as these are more widely used and readily available.
Here's one:
