Great COVID illustration for risk management hierarchy of controls; system controls (higher reliability) from the right; individual controls from the left (lower reliability); all important barriers to successfully reducing the risk of error and harm.

An informal 30 minute chat explaining the basis for anxiety, emphasing self-help rather than medication. More to follow!

We would like to say a massive thank you to all carers across Somerset (and beyond) for your tireless hard work and dedication #ClapforCarers

[karen taylor @karentaylor60]

This is devastating. Health and Care colleagues please look after yourselves. See the Somerset Emotional Wellbeing podcasts by @DrPeterBagshaw and Dr.Andrew Tresidder. Next week's is on dealing with anxiety https://t.co/3DsSSQKHHo

Mindline is now available 24/7. It is a confidential listening service which provides a safe place to talk if you, or someone you know, is in distress. They can also give basic information about mental health and local support services.

Summary: Moral injury isn't an illness, it is part of the normal human experience. Perspective matters to help make people feel less alone, so talk through the experience.

Conclusion: Most people will be ok at the end.

Moral Injury Webinar @EM_HealthPsych #traumacare2020

[karen taylor @karentaylor60]

thank-you @EM_HealthPsych excellent seminar - #TRAUMACARE2020 we need to make sure staff have access to their mental health PPE. Moral injury is not an illness - but needs careful attention to ameliorate and recover

[jane rees @janeree49255905]

If you have a #LearningDisability make sure your Hospital Passport is up to date. It's a quick way for health workers to find out your likes and dislikes, any anxieties you may have, the best ways to communicate with you and important health information. https://t.co/rCQiM2pHA4

@SomersetPForum Thank you @SomersetPForum for recognising that @somersetccg are investigating this matter and will take the appropriate action where necessary. Please DM us or contact us via our existing partnerships where you have any further concerns.

[Dr Peter Bagshaw @DrPeterBagshaw]

From what I have read this is the most important risk factor (14 fold in one study)
Even in these unprecedented times lifestyle and good metabolic health are crucial, not just for long term health but to resist the shocks life throws at us.
Stay safe #COVID19
