@RevRichardColes ritual, ceremony, and maybe ideas of someone out there?

@UoDMHN what is your point Grant? When you're teaching what do you "pretend to be?"

[WaterAid @wateraid]

1 in 4 healthcare facilities (26%) lack basic water services. In least developed countries, it's 45%.

Without water for good hygiene, infections spread more easily, leading to antibiotic overuse.

Unless we act, #antibioticresistance will continue to worsen.

@UoDMHN @ypudundee That's really helpful Grant. As a previous Chaplaincy visitor for our local health board the issues raised arose from childhood. I don't know the answer to this - is there a pathway to follow young people into adulthood?

[KarenL @kel1961]

@UoDMHN And the patient/client? Surely we should support their hope in whatever form that takes?

[KarenL @kel1961]

@DrMonicaMalta why is this news? I had 6 weeks ventilation in 1998 and still have PTSD. Can anything now be done to help pre-covid patients?

I have PTSD from sepsis and 6 weeks ventilation from 1998. There was no help or recognition then. Will your research look at other types of patients still suffering from many years ago?

[KarenL @kel1961]

@JBLascarrou @JAMA_current nothing from ICU, no follow up. I requested a copy of all of my notes and daily ICU charts. Every year around that time I get them both out. I'm so glad COVID has raised awareness of the horror ICU can be.

[KarenL @kel1961]

@JBLascarrou @JAMA_current just found this. Sorry this post is so late. I had sepsis at 31 weeks pregnancy. I was ventilated for 6 weeks. This was 1998 and these kinds of problems weren't recognised. I has a wonderful diary from NICU with pictures of the baby, first bath etc. next

@WHO @WHOAFRO @WHOEMRO @WHO_Europe @WHOSEARO @WHOWPRO @pahowho Dr Salama was a great supporter of infection prevention & control. Just a few days ago, we celebrated the launch of a new WHO IPC task force that was his idea. May he rest in peace. We passionately continue this work IN HIS MEMORY. @HananBalkhy @DrMikeRyan

@EvonneTCurran Evonne, a massively important project, but as someone who has recently been a patient I unfortunately can’t see many positive answers to this. Really sorry but it is no use if we don’t face up to reality

Have just seen a packet of surface wipes in the supermarket "proven to kill antibiotic resistant MRSA" I'm wondering if that is public information going a bit far? #infectionprevention #AMR
