Before our Board meeting, members visited parts of Queen’s Hospital to chat to staff.
One visit - by @shanedegaris , @LesleySeary and others - was to our improved Same Day Emergency Care department.
It’s beneficial impact is captured in the Board report by @matthewtrainer :
We are looking for an outstanding Deputy Chief Operating Officer. If you are an aspiring COO and want to gain experience in a large acute, tertiary and soon to be integrated provider then give me a call. https://t.co/BG1mj1XgoM
Great interview on how the building is currently being used, and it’s good to see how the additional flexibility above the other #nightingale that @StrideTreglown @BAMConstructUK designed in allows the continued use of the facility #minihospital
It’s time for today’s huge ‘THANK YOU’ to the large number of groups & individuals who have kindly boosted our stock of #scrubs!
We cannot thank you all enough! #ThankYou
Sorry for being blunt: maybe you are young and can survive this but what if you get hit by a drunk driver and there’s no ICU bed for you? COVID-19 isn’t the only reason you can end up in hospital and need critical care. #UKlockdown#StayHomeSaveLives
My new hero is Jocelyn Bell Burnell, who discovered pulsars as a PhD student but was uncredited when the Nobel Prize was given to her male colleagues. She spent the next 50 years winning every other award in physics and donating the money to fund PhDs for underrepresented groups
A standing ovation in the room for Sandra Attwood, winner of our Lifetime Acheivement Award! Sandra embodies the very essence of being a nurse: she’s kind, caring, talented, adaptable, attentive, empathetic and most of all, a friend.
I don't claim any relatives who died on D-Day. But I know how much I love my family and to walk away from them & give your life to save the freedom of your country & others. That makes me unbelievably grateful and emotional - thank you to all of them
I will be marking my 4 year anniversary as CEO @NHSBartsHealth tomorrow. Couldn’t wish for a better job, working with such fabulous people. Just to say thank you for all your support & for all that you do for our patients every day. V proud of what we have achieved together 💙
Have you ever wondered what it's like to work in our pharmacy team? 💊

Reflections of a DCMO: one of the (many) best things about my job is the free CPD, I get to dip my toe and hear insights from a variety of specialties - this week IV immunoglobulin therapy and the grey case indications & the complexities of blood transfusion...
Happy New Year! We wish you all a healthy and prosperous 2019. Here's to #TeamBartsHealth 🍾!
A big thank you to those that have been delivering safe and compassionate care over the festive period, we are so grateful.
