Every winter we see our services at breaking point due to illnesses caused by viruses such as RSV. An RSV vaccination programme could be transformative.

We need your help to persuade the UK Government to make this a reality.

@__bethanytaylor Bunbury just south of Perth is lovely. A smaller city, a great ED and beaches! Also, margaret river wine region a stone's throw. You cross work in busselton (40mins away) hospital right on the beach ao get a wee lunchtime swim in 😉. Failing that Yorkshire is lovely too! X

@StuartNuttall1 Slight different tac..... Do you want dance moves as well?

@DoctorJLam I explain vertebrae like wingnuts (depends on demographic) and it helps when explaining transverse process fractures.

@stephanil92 I seemed to have missed the cleaning belly button lecture/chapters Steph- can I use it as CPD? Shattered pelvis I atleast know what to do?

@casualtysrus Maybe a design feature could be retractable cord (almost like a vacuum cleaner cord). Don't know if possible but would be better than what happens now.

@AshTreeFarm42 I think legally only places that serve alcohol have to legally serve tap water. Most other establishments do out of basic human need.

@POferries Thanks for the kids entertainment!

@AlexNevard I read this as what would you make food wise, I was going to say something that needs alot of chewing!?!? Suspect I missed the point somewhat!

[clare thompson @drclarethompson]

@BridgeBooksDro1 @frantitt @AshTreeFarm42 I loved every minute of it! Except freezing afterwards whilst you talked to half the country 😀 Those were the days! X

I love my job but this contract is very attractive #NHSEngland people will vote with their feet!

The new proposed consultant contract for the Republic of Ireland is already creating chaos in NI.

Top band now £220K. 4 mths sabbatical every 7 yrs. Restoration of pensions.

Medicine is an international market!

1g of iv paracetamol vs tablets. Tablets have similar analgesic efficacy plus are around 100x cheaper. Much better for the environment. Win win!!

@DrLizHerrieven @SheffKidsED Who ever said medics aren't artistic?!

Lots of chat right now about reducing pressure on A&E seems to be focussing on “unnecessary attendances” to A&E.

This shows a lack of understanding of the current crisis.

Exit block is the problem in A&E - the lack of flow through our EDs. NOT the number of people turning up.

@Abi_Rimmer I thought of it as cost benefit. Costs for both vaccines approx £150. Day at nursery just a bit more than £50. So obviosuly more than 3 days nursery off and loss of pay worth it for me. And on other countries healthcare vacc list. Individual choice. X
