@PSukhu @RoyalFreeNHS @stephendowner2 @RFL_LGBTQ 2/3 We want to stamp out all forms of racism. Equality and diversity need to be top of our agenda for all we do. Our WRES data need to be in the green zone not where it currently sits.

"People don’t believe it. They think we are making it up. We could lock down for 100 years, but if people don’t do the right things we’ll never get over this pandemic.” Martha Sarpong, ICU support nurse. See today’s @TimesMagazine for full story

We've all been adapting to lots of change and uncertainty and it's important not to lose sight of the achievements we've made in these difficult times.

Not sure how the #CovidVaccine is given?

@NHSEnglandLDN have produced videos in a range of community languages to provide reassuring information ➡️https://t.co/8S5SlFJ43k

In this video, Sangita Patel, @LNWH_NHS clinical lead for therapies explains in #Gujarati...

✅FACT: you can’t catch coronavirus by getting the vaccine.

However, being vaccinated could help stop you from becoming seriously ill in the future. If you’re part of a priority group – including our staff – please get vaccinated as soon as you’re invited to do so.

[Royal Free London @RoyalFreeNHS]

✅FACT: Clinical trials for the approved COVID-19 vaccines included a diverse range of participants from many different backgrounds and ethnicities and all walks of life.

The #CovidVaccine is safe, and will be part of our best defence against COVID-19 this winter.

[Royal Free London @RoyalFreeNHS]

The COVID-19 vaccine is the best protection for you and those around you.

“My role as a chaplain brings me into regular face to face contact with patients and staff, so I believe it is my moral and religious duty as a Muslim to protect myself, patients, staff and others."

"I got vaccinated because I think it is the right thing to do, to protect my patients and my colleagues. I didn’t want to get COVID again, which is a possibility."

Dr Sally Hamour shares her #CovidVaccine story: https://t.co/00J24BUVIM

RFL staff can book the vaccine via Freenet

[Royal Free London and Friends’ BAME Newsletter @RFH_BAMENews]

@RoyalFreeNHS Great to see Dr Hamour. Important to note that COVID can be contracted more than once so we are hopeful the vaccine will go some way to protect from re-infection.
