@GaryLineker @RestIsFootball What is the point of booking or giving a red card to the coaching/ management team (c.f. BHA v NFO), outside of violence it just looks like the officials are shouting at pigeons for all the impact it has.

@drphiliplee1 This from the GMC guidance on candour…

@Whitehouse_ICU If it’s at night then nightingale may be right! ( which is very exciting). They can repeat a bit as well. If it was around Bham you would have had me and a thousand other birders in your garden.
A wild suggestion would be a Thrush nightingale depending on where you are?

[Christopher Bassford @ICUdecisions]

@Whitehouse_ICU I think there is more than one bird. But the repetitive phrases strongly suggests song thrush.

@Davido744 @heartresearchuk Good luck David! Looking strong!

@Badg1Vo @drphiliplee1 @nhsuhcw I wish I was more of an expert on such things, but the proximity of working seems to make a difference: Developing close working relationships between managers and clinicians so all pulling in same direction.

@jabberwock951 Hard agree. but… Decisions about escalating treatment should be made as a team. Sometimes the part of the team leading future treatment outside critical care should lead the communication. Working together and planning communication together is key.

Digging this tweet up from the archives. I'm working the night shift tonight because, once again, this Conservative government doesn't know how to treat a group of vital professionals.
