Important service update.

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Breaking/

Appalling news that @DHSCgovuk has decided to stop funding mental health services for hospital doctors from
Monday.

When I was broken & traumatised during Covid, sessions with an @NHSPracHealth psychologist helped me back on my feet.

How can the govt suspend this?

[Martin Paul Eve @martin_eve]

A substantial portion of immunocompromised people remain under near-shielding conditions; myself included. NICE has announced that the appraisal committee for protective "Evusheld 2" (Sipavibart) will not meet until December '24. These delays are inappropriate given the urgency.

The world is watching how @RishiSunak & @VictoriaAtkins are treating UK healthcare workers

And the world is doing a great job poaching us under their noses, offering us adequate compensation for the years of our lives we give up

“The NHS sold out its staff.”

Simply heartbreaking that doctors left disabled, broken & suicidal by long COVID - after our PPE was abruptly downgraded - are now preparing to sue the NHS for negligent workplace exposure.

I dearly hope others follow suit.

[BBC Woman's Hour @BBCWomansHour]

Hundreds of doctors - led by campaign group Long Covid Doctors for Action @LCD4A - are planning to sue the NHS over claims that inadequate PPE provision has left them with Long Covid, according to Sky News.

One of those, Dr Nathalie MacDermott, joins @Emmabarnett to discuss it⬇️

[Dr Rae Duncan @Sunny_Rae1]

😢
My word.
This video of Melissa's Long Covid worsening over the course of a year is harrowing.
💔
If you can develop this from a covid infection in 2022, you can develop this from a covid infection now.
Don't look away.
Don't catch Covid.
Don't spread Covid.

@Dr_A_Warrington @Xeon4f145d96s1 I’m so impressed. Now following and fangirling.

[Clinically Vulnerable Families 💙💜💗 @cv_cev]

Thank you to @NicolaKSDavis for highlighting issues faced by those who need urgent access to antivirals.

We hope @NICEComms and @NHSEngland rapidly resolve issues to approve access to these essential treatments for many more Clinically Vulnerable people.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

The lives of many doctors with long covid have been destroyed by an illness they caught while doing their jobs.

They deserve more support from the government and the NHS, reports @AdeleWatersRx
