@rosecityrick@billiebuttons64@MeetJess Pt on my elderly care ward (90yrs old, multimorbidities) asked about Covid vaccine while IP. I referred to frailty ANP & I quote “why on EARTH would she want a covid jab??” To my masked face… someone caring for the most vulnerable is pushing this antivax agenda.. I can’t even
Ward full of very poorly frail elderly folks with Flu A and Covid. We are failing our most vulnerable. I remain the lone masker on the ward. Please protect your loved ones this Xmas and wear a flipping mask. It’s not difficult. Jesus Wept.
My yearly appointment with doctor at work.
Her: I see you still wear your mask?
Me: yes
Her: you know Covid almost doesn’t kill anymore?
Me: so prevention is just about avoiding death or also about avoiding chronic conditions impacting quality of life?
…
That was a good start…
What's really going on in schools?
Direct instruction? Knowledge rich? Evidence based?
I have twins. They talk to us.
Out of 12 lessons today, 3 were cover lessons.
This is ¼, 25%, 0.25.
Or 0.01 in binary. The cover teacher did not know this. My son explained it to her. A🧵
@_CatintheHat@AngelKe71279249@covidinquiryuk 13 May 2000 Hancock et al altered the PPE Guidance and reduced the levels of PPE healthcare staff were to be issued with. No doubt causing deaths and significant long term chronic health for hundreds of HCW's.
Healthcare staff were used as cannon fodder.
@ELHopkins@wesstreeting It’s unconscionable. We have a whole bay closed due to Covid today. 3 frail elderly people given Covid whilst in hospital for other ailments. Staff going bay to bay in baggy blues. What are we doing????
@cathy_finnis@wesstreeting I’m immune comp NHS staff. The Covid warning marker turns amber (meaning old) after 3 DAYS in my trust. There is a chap D4 Covid just in a bay with 5 other people. And me. I’m supposed to just share the air while I work. How do I keep myself and my patients safe @wesstreeting ?
@1goodtern Caring for elderly patients who all have a mysterious illness. No masks, no testing- of course. Patch them up and send them back to the care homes to spread it further to their mates. No masks for staff so they can take it home to their families. And on it goes. I am so tired.
@tigresseleanor@UKHSA@AdamJogee you have a large teaching hospital next door to your constituency and many of your constituents work there. We’d sure be glad to see you take this up. Please see the last few days at the #ukcovidinquiry
This exact thing happened to me.
“I’m on immune suppressants” I said “you’re not doing AGPs” they said.
I have purchased my own FFP3s ever since.
Nothing has changed.
@Friesein Yep NHS is currently only issuing vaccines only to “promiscuous” people and close contacts via STI and GUM clinics 🤦🏻♀️
OR we could start vaccinating front line staff and the most vulnerable. Imagine this ripping through a care home because care workers forced to work while sick?!
@1goodtern I have another ward full of elderly Covid+ patients again this morning. It’s never ending. Unfortunately less and less taking up vaccines and taking precautions means we are seeing more severe disease again. I feel like im trapped in a circle of hell…

🚨PLEASE READ🚨: Earlier today, a video recording of a @gmcuk seminar ("Frontline perspectives on integrating PAs and AAs into multidisciplinary teams") was shared onto Reddit. With @AnaesUnited cooking something big, a more strategic time to share the video was planned. (1/15)
@annjsmall@karamballes @AaronBell4NUL How many members of staff at that large teaching hospital can afford to pay? And then go about caring for the large, elderly and unwell population in the area.
