Chair Haughton Thornley PPG in Hyde. Lay member RCGP & HIM.Passionate about patient empowerment, joined up information & cooperative working. @ Health pledge
Star of the week @NHSBartsHealth . One of our consultant dermatologists did a full night shift supporting the nurses and then stayed till 11 am the next day helping the team sort out PPE related skin problems 💙
@CancerMum@doctorcaldwell @Bonniecomm @ePatientDave So presumably the teaching hospital will be passing on the same outdated and dangerous attitudes. I asked very politely a consultant & a gaggle of junior docto who were discussing me outside my curtain if I could join in. Consultant drew back curtain & said " we don't do that!"
@doctorcaldwell@DrGrumble OMG! pureed shepherd's pie makes me feel sick just reading the words. ( especially if it's made with real shepherds!) The old jokes are the best. Heard in hospital nurse trying to persuade patient to eat " please try, it doesn't look as bad as it tastes!"
@CancerMum I can imagine how frustrating that is especially when it's something so important. There should be some kind of ombudsman. I suppose that your first line of contact is the CCG. ......X
We think it’s an absolute disgrace that @MattHancock asked Dr Allin-Khan to ‘watch her tone’ when asking a very reasonable question.
Especially when considering over 180 of her colleagues have died on his watch.
Please RT if you do too.

This is not about politics, it's about the many lives that are at stake, and ignoring it helps no one
Please follow and RT if you remain right behind us
@apnoeaboy I agree with Umesh. Stay strong and take care of yourself. Your situation touched me....Try and get downtime to process.
This horror will pass.
