I just wish we replicated that at local council level. The amount of healthcare professionals who go untested, and go from home to home, is needing more help.

Working from home can present challenges we were unaware of.

Whilst your conversations via your softphone may be recorded for security reasons, are you aware the amazon alexa or google dot in the room may have its own microphone on? Are you ok with that?

It's time for another weekend, and great advice from @NHSGGC - please be aware of cyclists, don't "rush out" to those picnics, without taking care.

[NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde @NHSGGC]

Give Cycle Space
☑️a 1/3 of people in Scotland don’t leave 1.5metres overtaking cyclists
☑️every week at least 3 people cycling suffer serious life-changing injuries colliding with a vehicle
☑️64% of people don’t know they cd get 3 points on licence driving too close to cyclists

What's been the most useful bit of technology you've invested in before lockdown, or during?

Mine? a decent set of @SteelSeries headphones.

Absolutely crucial for long days on the phone, webinars, and still feeling comfortable.

Yours?

"If you can only be tall because somebody is on their knees, then you have a serious problem” - the words of the late, great Toni Morrison. Racism is an evil that none of our societies can claim to be immune from. But we must stand against & eradicate it.

Reading an article about #disneyworld this morning, re-opening parks in the US from July 11th.

Happy to read the underlying message, is that they fully understand, and are implementing safe guest population control. What will the new Disney experience look like?
