Happy 74th Birthday NHS and what a way to celebrate🥳...Go Live with electronic prescribing @JCUH_Ward11 💉💊🖥🌈 fantastic teamwork and engagement from all involved, promoting a positive safety culture for staff and patients ❤️ @SouthTees@steespharmacy@JcuhOpm
@pharmheroes @EPlenders@JcuhOpm@SouthTees@steespharmacy@JoAngus14@alcidion @NHSTeesValley @DrHethWeth @GreaterBoroPCN@NENC_NHS It just needs the political will within the Trust to make things happen as I believe solutions are available out there. If only secondarily care and primary care sat down together to discuss how to integrate services and workflow better.
The targeted enhanced recruitment scheme (TERS) is an initiative which offers a one off (taxable) payment of £20K to GP trainees committed to working in a select number of training places in England. Find out more below 🙌 https://t.co/gUVc9JRqiY

We know it can feel hard to get a GP appt at the moment. Nationally GPs delivered 28.4 million appointments in March 2021. That's 5 million more than the month before, and 3 million more than in March 2019.
(This data doesn't include all vaccination appts)
Please bear with us 🙏🏼

It is brilliant to have Hilary Lloyd join us at South Tees Hospitals as our new Director of Nursing along with Mike Stewart as our new Medical Director.
@drmarkyarnie A wise man said, ‘If someone refers you a patient, they either know what they’re doing, or they don’t. Either way, you need to see the patient.’
What a well organised, safe and slick process for my COVID-19 vaccination yesterday. Congratulations @GreaterBoroPCN and Holgate PCN for arranging things so well. @drslinthorpe @TheCoulbyDoctor @Parkwaydoctors and others whose Twitter accounts I may have missed. @TeesValleyCCG
7. Hospitals can also vaccinate patients who are attending anyway AND fall within the designated risk cohorts. They can also vaccinate their patient facing staff.
Hope this helps. There is a lot of national confusion.
Seven important points about the covid vaccination programme 💉
1. Primary Care Vaccinations are hitting all targets at least as soon as predicted, and often sooner. 👏 👏 (GP admin staff are working till 9pm many nights & Saturdays calling patients ensure no wasted slots)
