@KingsCollegeNHS Is it possible to add an email contact for departments in letters to patients so that they can be contacted hassle free — Only phone no in letters means that no one can be usually contacted.

@bromleyhcare Lack of digital integration —>healthcare gap and wastage of resource. e.g. an ultrasound requested by GP and performed by independent provider(non-hospital) isn’t visible to hospital consultant seeing the patient for the same condition. Needs to be addressed please

In this article, we developed a covid prediction model by amalgamating clinical and automated radiomic features, from patients in South Asia - similar models can be developed for other acute pneumonic processes and calibrated for a local patient population https://t.co/ZR3ZdFSekS

@ukhomeoffice Someone told me that they’ve been defrauded at a vulnerable time by an online person today - they reported the incident to authorities. They can see the fraudster online(defrauding more); apparently nothing can be done in real time. Scammer Phone no, a/c no known !!

India is burning and it is unbearable to watch. As a respiratory and intensive care physician, I am one of many who are willing to serve, be it in-person, telemedicine or training healthcare workers. Can a mission be facilitated. @FCDOGovUK @UKinIndia @wbdhfw #medicstoIndia
