☀️ Whilst many of us are outside or keeping cool in this beautiful weather. Take a second to think about our amazing staff working hard for up to 12-14 hours a day whilst having to wear PPE and their uniforms during the heat. 👏🌡️

I don't know who needs to hear this, but your choice to give up the last eleven or so months of your regular life, being careful and socially distancing, could very well be the reason somebody else is alive today - and it will *always* have been worth it.

Wow... look what we’ve achieved. The response of the ICU community has been phenomenal. Truly an inspiring and dedicated bunch of people 💙 I wouldn’t do anything else @ICS_updates @AlisonPittard @FICMNews

“Instead of... being clapped we are now being told that we are killers, liars, frauds.”

NHS workers reveal the online abuse, attacks and even death threats they've received during the pandemic.

Finding out the FFP3 masks that I have been wearing for the past few months whilst in full PPE knee deep in AGP’s was insufficient meaning exposure this whole time is just the highlight of this pandemic, lol.
