Another year done. Just waiting on Boris Johnson to come on TV to announce latest government lockdown rules; People in Tier 1 move into new year tonight, tier 3 only on Sunday and tier 4 have to wait till next week Wednesday 1400 hours. Happy new year everyone.

Teachers should be regarded as frontline staff. Prioritising vaccination of teachers is important too so that kids can get back to school. Let’s face it we wouldn’t have the vaccines if these scientists had missed out on their education. https://t.co/Mcz0hHOv5h

To the kind ⁦⁦@HarrogateNHSFT⁩ colleague who nominated me for some ⁦@harrogatehcc⁩ sparkle, thank you. Glad the letter states it’s for my continued hard work otherwise God knows what I’d have thought receiving all these bath products! 🙊😷🤢

This weekend my daughter cooked lasagna for the family.

Me: OMG I think I’ve got COVID. I’ve lost my sense of taste.

Daughter: I’m sorry, I forgot to add the salt.

Crisis averted.

Amazing heartfelt account of her lived experience by @humariazkhan. Disappointed that of the almost 5000 followers of @WYHpartnership, after 3 days, less than 20 people have liked/RT this. Come on Yorkshire, now more than ever we need to be a partnership.

Fantastic results. What I particularly ❤️ about this team is their acknowledgement of the courage of pioneering patients and the families of donors who died, allowing others to live. Sometimes we forget that advances in medicine wouldn’t be possible without people like these.

One of the great things about Twitter was that it used to be quite inspirational. The last few months have been really hard work to the point where sometimes I was reluctant to look through my Twitter feed. Wow. What’s differences few days makes. How uplifting is this 👇🏾

Changed my Twitter profile to reflect the fact that I have stepped down as a governing body member on @NHSNKCCG and @NHSGHCCG. Honoured to have worked with such amazing colleagues. It’s been a privilege to serve the people of Kirklees.

[Dr Chunda Sri-Chandana @ChundaSri]

@jd3clarkson Looking forward to the end product. Thank you to your team.

Considering how he’s used his presidency to voice opinions that divide a nation and incite xenophobia & racial hatred, the question I have is why it’s taken until now for someone to have the moral courage to cut his airtime and why has his Twitter account not been deleted yet?

Busy fortnight. Looking forward to putting my feet up and watching some #Strictly. My moneys on @CraigRevHorwood to be the first to say “There was soooo much gapping darling, I thought you were socially distancing.”

[Dr Chunda Sri-Chandana @ChundaSri]

Well done!

The ⁦@SouthTees⁩ ‘Virtual Ward’ is really proving it’s worth - enabling Covid patients to be treated safely in their own homes and freeing up hospital beds for patients (Covid and non-Covid) who really need them. https://t.co/CnorUYBfTF

Fascinating article on how the use of medical formulas we use that adjust for race can inadvertently exacerbate health disparities. https://t.co/cNTUiZfMMw via @wired

And something for our friends across the pond to consider as they go to elect their next president, this is something most people won’t get if you dismantle #Obamacare

Excellent news @Andrewsjackie1 . A really important investment in the future of @HarrogateNHSFT and the wider NHS.

@steve_r76 Thanks Steve. Great break. I keep harping on about how lucky we are to have such beautiful areas around us. Need to enjoy them when we have the opportunity to do so.

Back from a week away with just the family; away from work, emails and social media to help clear my mind and recharge the soul before what could be a challenging few months.
