We are devastated to hear so many traumatised NHS staff saying that they will quit the NHS once the pandemic is through.

We cannot afford to lose a single member of staff.

We must look after NHS staff NOW or we risk losing them forever.

Please RT if you agree.

200 personnel vs. the over 4000 staff currently off? And however many positions that were already unfilled? Like trying to stick a plaster on an amputated leg #nhs #NHSstaffingcrisis #nhscrisis

Dear Twitter,

We’re a team of NHS staff, supported by 1,000s of health workers

Things are awful on the frontline, and we really need help to get the word out.

If you support the NHS, could you kindly follow and share this so we can help keep people informed? 🙏

Thank you x

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

…would you want the NHS staff looking you or them to be on the top of their game? Or so exhausted they can’t even remember their own name?

We thought so.

No-one is asking for claps, but we could all do with just a basic level of respect.

Sincerely,

NHS staff everywhere x

So the next time you think about kicking NHS staff whilst they are down, just think about this. If you got into a serious car crash, or your child needed emergency surgery, or your loved one ended up in ICU…(8/9)

(Also we are pretty sure it’s also illegal, but you might want to check on that).

What happens to exhausted people who work too many hours, who repeatedly put their patients before themselves? They burn out. They go off sick. They leave. Which is why your suggestion that NHS staff shouldn’t be allowed to take leave is both upsetting and completely backwards.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

So now we are facing this wave with less people. The staff who are left are desperately trying to soldier on. Many were moved onto emergency rotas over Christmas. Many have voluntarily given up their leave. Many have continued to get sick working with COVID patients every day.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Sadly, after battling for many months we lost many dedicated members of NHS staff. They left not because they are selfish, but because they had given all they had to give. They were exhausted, in many cases with their mental health through the floor. Some have PTSD.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Now take those exhausted, burnt out staff and throw them into the pandemic.

They gave everything they had, and made enormous sacrifices to keep people safe. Many got COVID, more than once. Some got seriously ill. Over 1500 NHS workers died.

You clapped for us, remember? (3/9)

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We have a workforce crisis in the NHS. That existed before the pandemic. Why? We have a retention problem. We can’t retain staff because they feel so devalued, are asked to do too much with too little and end up burning out and leaving.

This was pre-pandemic.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Um…@DailyMailUK what is this? How we have gone from clapping to telling exhausted staff they shouldn’t take leave?

Let’s set the record straight shall we? 🧵👇🏻(1/9)

Because 'chai' means tea, 'chai tea' literally means 'tea tea'

Just smothered my face in a really thick layer of face mask, only to realise it was in fact face cream. Where are the grown ups please?
