The joy of switching your phone to silent (or onto aeroplane mode or whatever) when you’re finished being on call, never seems to diminish.

@angdmc @docrobwaller @NHSNearMe @NHS_Lothian @MavinClaire @clareupnorth @TraceyMcKigen @mca_royal @gillian_mcauley @RCPsychScot I’m sure you’ll get to love it as a concept in the end. The first one is the scariest though.

Today I want to highlight another unsung group of NHS staff: ICT workers.

In just weeks they've set up home working for 100,000s of NHS staff, rolled out virtual outpatient clinics for millions of pts, and connected pts isolated on the wards with their families. Thank you 💙
