Watch this heartwarming moment as Kitui, a black rhino, reunites with his dedicated keeper, Kamara, after their time apart.
Raised alongside the famous Elvis, these two incredible creatures were given a second chance at life through Kamara’s unwavering care and dedication.

@runnermandoc Hi Martin, just seen your post & wanted to say in addition to my ongoing hydration work, I’m now working 3 x 8-8 hrs in my local Minor Injury Unit. Have to say that supporting people with frailty issues is still a significant challenge- particularly after 17:00hrs & weekend

You can’t knit care for older people out of thin air- ‘virtual’ does not of itself replace physical care
Only 51 trusts have so far set up virtual wards (VW)
System wide there are 84 VWs but only 65 reporting activity
7/42 ICSs don’t yet have VWs

@mancunianmedic@runnermandoc I too couldn’t agree more. I spent all night waiting for an ambulance thinking about this and jotting down ideas. Happy to share.
Thank you for your response @runnermandoc - unfortunately the risk of ‘very’ long lies will become the norm unless the combined systems can find a way of freeing up ambulances waiting to off load at ED. Meanwhile the fallen vulnerable must wait for hours ..and hours on the floor
@hydrationlead@GeriSoc Well certainly lying on the floor following a fall is not good for anyone, but especially older people
Long lie after a fall is strongly associated with serious injuries, admission to hospital, and subsequent moves into long term care

@hydrationlead@runnermandoc I’m currently placed on an acute eldercare ward. Not sure there’s not one patient admitted due to fall without “long lie” suffixing it.
We really need to stop making it so hard for NHS staff to go to work
A huge number of NHS workers have to cope with inadequate public transport, insufficient and unsafe parking for cars and bikes, and exorbitant costs
Something needs to be done urgently - please RT if you agree
@JoFloyd07 @RCHTPtExp @swasFT Thanks so much for Tweet 🤗 has been quite an ordeal Ambulance came 18 hours later! crew amazing- over & beyond with ‘much’ needed personal care & took him to A&E.Few hrs later lovely Dr called me # humerus, Medically fit to discharge, but high risk falls #frailty#OT#socialcare
A frail & vulnerable family member fell at his home today found by his carers who called for ambulance at midday as can’t get him off floor and heavily soiled. We have been waiting with him for for 10 hrs with still no eta😞. What a very sad state of affairs @RCHTPtExp @swasFT
A similar scenario: 8 weeks ago a friend who lives in a #Cornish residential home fell at 7pm. Care staff couldn’t get her up so was left on the floor until ambulance arrived at 7am! Where is the accountability for such failing services? @NHSKernow @HWCornwall@swasFT#frailty
