@garethhowells1 @SwanseabayNHS @bhamcommunity @NHSBSolCCG Pleasure to work with you Gareth, you are a role model for all nurses in terms of your career path and wide background. Enjoy this next phase of your career and some well earned downtime over next few weeks.

Can’t believe this is true but I do trust the source ..

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

HMRC yesterday confirmed workers who have a Coronavirus test from employer as part of their job will see it treated as a 'benefit in kind' and thus be taxed on it (& see take home pay reduced)

Delighted to see the Treasury Select Committee are taking this up with the chancellor.

[Mark Stephens @MarksLarks]

Next year can we all clap for our MP's rather than give them a pay rise?

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@lplattswansea Well done. I was reflecting on ‘loyalty’today as we said goodbye to Gareth - reckon most people there had an average of 25 years in. Long hours, no bonus system, challenging environment, promotions are hard won (rather than automatic). Isn’t it wonderful that we are all so loyal

@MeSkilli @richbrown That’s a useful asset to the team Rich, I need someone to help me with that 😀

Sunset in Aberystwyth this evening.

@SianHarropGriff @dynymor Absolutely agree - I will try and weave a BLUF into my next email 🙄

[Sian Harrop-Griffiths @SianHarropGriff]

@dynymor I like this. We've had some Military Liaison Officers with us for COVID and one sent an email with BLUF at beginning. What's that i said? Bottom Line Up Front! Get it out there @dotedwards

[Sian Harrop-Griffiths @SianHarropGriff]

Thank you @michaelsheen for your support for the NHS and in particular for the mentions for all our amazing staff @SwanseabayNHS @TracySBUHB

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@ReesSaffron Saffron - you are one brave lady, well done on speaking out, and I have no doubt that your bravery will help others. Big hugs to you and your family xx

[Sian Thomas @SianT_OT]

So impressed with the antibody testing for staff in Morriston Hospital yesterday @SwanseabayNHS ...well organised, safe, quick turnaround and results via txt this morning!!

“It’s only taken six weeks to replace meetings with even more meetings...” Diaries full of back to back zoom/teams meetings without room to think and reflect. Longing for travel to & from meeting-gives head space to prepare, time to process/debrief/do https://t.co/28BlAAUWTU

@RslewisSally I felt the same Sally when I had a week off. By day3/4 it had passed. Do things that are good for the soul and be kind to yourself x

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@Samwill444 @Deb178 Fire lit. Hope that wasn’t summer in April - not many NHS folk got to experience it.

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@RslewisSally Need large scale facility - we are thinking hard. Not sure about drive through but we have the facilities - not sure it will work for some patient groups. Advice from colleagues welcome .....

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@NickyLeopold @janw0109 @Deb178 @SwanseabayNHS @gorstj We are 😀. Have asked @Deb178 to share presentations & we will ensure further opportunity to share learning more broadly too

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@KJonthepiste That’s why you need 2 days off. No more though. You’ve had 2 days this week - can’t have you getting used to it 🤣

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

Some good thinking time yesterday @KJonthepiste about next phase of response and factors that we have to consider - further waves of Covid-19, winter; flu; brexit; delivering essential services; care sector fragility; staff resilience; testing; mass vaccination. Lots to do ....

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

Lovely to see @DebsLongman today who has done some fantastic work to raise funding for the NHS not just in @CharitySwansea @SwanseabayNHS but across NHS Wales. Can’t wait for that coffee and proper catch up ....

[Dorothy Edwards @dotedwards]

@MALachapelle1 That’s fab - brilliant response. I thought the questions were spot on and it was quick and easy to do.
