@TheGPhC Will we be given additional time to complete our revalidation? The website was down most of yesterday and is still down this morning.

[Reem Santos @SantosReem]

It was a great opportunity to showcase some of the innovative work being undertaken at CUH and explain the diversity of our roles in the NHS #CUHproud #teampharmacy

[Cambridge University Hospitals NHS @CUH_NHS]

Prime Minister, @RishiSunak, visited CUH and met staff today as part of the launch of the NHS Long Term Workforce Plan.

Love this video put together by one our trainee Pharmacists for #WAAW2022 containing some important messages. #AntibioticGuardian

@drLouDunsmure @CUH_NHS @CUH_Pharmacy @RDI_Systems Thanks Lou! It was a labour of love that never got to see the light of day thanks to COVID, but pleased to be making its post pandemic debut. 😉

[Reem Santos @SantosReem]

It was great to finally get the chance to utilise our specially designed Antibiotic Awareness Wall #WAAW2022 #AntibioticGuardian
@CUH_NHS @CUH_Pharmacy
and the recently acquired hand scanners for checking the effectiveness of our hand hygiene @RDI_Systems

Vaccines are very very important for this phase of COVID, and above all vaccines stratified by age for hospitalisation.

The UK entered the pandemic with ~3750 adult ICU beds. >750 of them have been occupied by patients with COVID since late July 2021: equivalent of ~46 ICUs just for COVID. These beds were all needed before the pandemic & this is not sustainable.

1/ THREAD: #WorldAntimicrobialAwarenessWeek & today @UNICEF #WorldChildrensDay: “a commemorative date celebrated annually in honor of children”. Find out how children have been #AntibioticGuardian champions & how we can protect antibiotics for their future #WAAW #WAAW2021

[Commonwealth Pharmacists Association @CW_Pharmacists]

#AntimicrobialResistance can be confusing for someone who hasn't heard of it before.

Pharmacists can make a difference by keeping informed so they can educate patients and the public.

Engaging diverse groups to recognise the importance of #AntimicrobialStewardship is key to slowing down the development of #AntimicrobialResistance. Check out this fantastic initiative targeting medical students
#WorldAntibioticAwarenessWeek #WAAW

[BSAC @BSACandJAC]

Medical students are the prescribers of the future, but there's been little focus on training them in antimicrobial stewardship... Until now! @doctorsanjay explores our great new initiative, part of the Keep Antibiotics Working undergraduate programme: https://t.co/8chVikQMcu

[Reem Santos @SantosReem]

So fantastic to see our senior leaders pledge to protect these precious #antibiotics and spread the message about the importance of tackling #AntibioticResistance #WAAW #AntibioticGuardian #CUHproud

[Cambridge University Hospitals NHS @CUH_NHS]

Our actions protect #antibiotics and we’re supported by some of our senior leaders, including chief exec Roland Sinker, COO @ewenabcameron, chief nurse @LorraiSzeremeta, director of improvement Sue Broster & medical director Ashley Shaw.

[Keep Antibiotics Working @KAWcoalition]

Fast food chains helped stop the overuse of #antibiotics on chickens. So @McDonalds committing to reduce antibiotics in their beef supply was big news. They're now a year late on their timeline. Join us in calling them to meet their commitment #WAAW https://t.co/nICHMADl3a

I’m no engineer but utilising quality #oxygenconcentrators in hospitals rather than using #OxygenCylinders seems like the way forward. Costs can of course be prohibitive in resource poor countries. Our thoughts are with you India. #COVIDSecondWaveInIndia

[Suresh Mirchandani @SureshMirchand7]

There is urgent need to manufacture small low cost #Oxygenconcentrators for Hospitals . This will save them the reliance on big Oxygen suppliers. This should be Portable Light Weight and with limited filter cleaning. Big Industries should be roped in immediately

THREAD on VARIANTS, VACCINES & POTENTIAL FUTURES:

I’ve been looking at data on sequenced variants. I’ve also been thinking about our vax programme & India.

TLDR: the Indian variant needs to trigger surge testing in England. And India needs to be on red list. 1/23
