Watching our glorious and diverse Olympic team, thinking about our fantastic and diverse staff caring for patients and deeply ashamed by the vile, racism fuelled violence that is sweeping parts of our country. I will stand up to racism in all its forms.
1st patient randomised onto the Result Hip Trial. First recruit on our first clinical trial on the new frailty block. Huge thanks to the ward staff for their support on this important study @HipTrial#hipfracture#transfusion#research @MapMikeWallis #anaemia#RESULTHip
We're calling on WVT staff who are not working (are on annual leave/not on shift) or those who work part time, & are available to work on inpatient wards, to contact the Bank Office (via switch) at Hereford County Hospital ASAP. This includes clinical and non-clinical staff
It has been a tough start to the year. Thank you to all our teams who have worked incredibly hard with skill and compassion. With 3 patients ‘boarded’ (extra) on our wards and 20+ patients waiting for admission in ED it’s tough for patients and staff. Well done team WVT I’m proud
There's the moral argument for increasing nurses' pay - very strong. Then, there's the economic argument. Want to fill all those vacant nurses' posts? Pay a decent wage, and relieve the pressures of understaffed services.
Huge congratulations to our Herefordshire and Worcestershire ICS Vaccination Team for receiving a High Commendation at the @HSJ_Awards for the Covid Vaccination Programme Award. Outstanding partnership working! #HSJAwards
With our orthopaedic surgery waiting lists among the lowest in England, we are working with Foundation Group partner, @WyeValleyNHS, to treat some WVT patients at @nhsswft - "partnership working which brings real & tangible benefits to patients." Read more:https://t.co/FP6K7f169g
Describing the NHS as “feckless”, as @Telegraph did last week, is insulting and inaccurate. NHS staff are working completely flat out to provide the best possible care amidst a wide range of very difficult challenges. Letter in today’s @Telegraph 👇. R/T or like if you agree.
