The #agedcare RC found a lack of staff left residents alone without the help they need. Older Australians shouldn’t have to suffer. Mandate staff ratio laws in Budget 2021. #itsnottoomuch to ask @scottmorrisonmp @JoshFrydenberg @GregHuntMP @AlboMP @JEChalmers

[Annelise Kirkham @AnneliseKirkham]

I’m supporting a law for aged care staffing ratios. It’s not too much to ask. The Royal Commission found over half of Australians in #agedcare aren’t getting their basic needs met. Help end staff shortages. https://t.co/lsdY4N4pCX #itsnottoomuch @ScottMorrisonMP @JoshFrydenberg

Just told my dog he *didn’t* win the #NationalDogShow - he says BAD THINGS HAPPENED including major fraud and he plans to sue for a recount.

I went in for urgent migraine treatment on Friday- real talk, seeing my @CedarsSinai nurse come out wearing a #ClearMask just about undid me.

Do. Not. Underestimate. The. Power. Of. Making. Accessible. Choices. In. Healthcare.

Shout out to my awesome #CedarsSinai doctor who had no problem wearing a clear communicator #mask today to ensure I could read his lips.
Communication is a vitally important part of good, effective medical care.

@AnnastaciaMP To the newly graduated Paramedics: thank you for stepping up at a time that would see many others run the other way #COVID19Aus #Paramedic #FrontLineHeroes #Grateful

[Annelise Kirkham @AnneliseKirkham]

@ellyhowse I understand completely, sorry you suffered someone else’s frustration/anxiety issue. We visit mum (84 w/Alzheimer’s) daily as she needs it. Just been offered her a care package - not sure I want her exposed to the risk of others coming in at this time??? Stay strong.

[Annelise Kirkham @AnneliseKirkham]

@girlgoesgreen Thanks sister xxx

[Annelise Kirkham @AnneliseKirkham]

@AnnastaciaMP , @deafnessforumau are our wonderful Qld hospitals prepared? I’m a nurse & midwife and like my sister @girlgoesgreen I too have #HearingLoss : crucial PPE masks for health workers makes communicating with deaf/ hearing loss patients so much harder #COVID19au

[Rae Farley @girlgoesgreen]

I can’t stress this enough:
being a patient w/#HearingLoss is stressful in the best of times:
during a pandemic it’s terrifying.

But still hasn’t figured out how to make video content or #COVID19Pandemic updates accessible to 48 Million Americans with hearing loss 🤷🏻‍♀️

@ProfPeteSmith We are doing the same, getting a Covid-19 in Pregnancy and Neonates put together faster than ever!! #covid19australia

@healthgovau Please include “Consider limiting jewellery to one plain ring. Keep your nails short and bare - rings with stones and nails with acrylic or polish harbour germs” FACT. Our hand hygiene in the Intensive Care Nursery is worth modelling. It saves lives. @healthgovau #Covid19aus

If you had #COVID19 and have recovered you can help save a life. Your blood may contain antibodies that fight the virus and can help critically ill people. Mount Sinai is looking to screen you as a volunteer. Fill out this form to see if you are eligible: https://t.co/hBWNtanfWu
