EXTREMELY worrying - @PHE_uk don’t know difference between PPE and ‘bare below elbows’. We don’t walk round hospitals in gowns - they’re taken off IN THE ROOM. Dirty elbows, upper arms & sleeves follow us EVERYWHERE #COVID19 droplets spread via SURFACES https://t.co/y1Vx5I5Tst
“Not a single South Korean doctor or nurse has died.” Despite being densely populated, SK has had its #COVID19 game on point. Proud of my peeps. https://t.co/HP2NitdMh4
The mortality in patients needing intubation for #COVID19 is high.
I give every patient the opportunity (if feasible) to make a phone call/send message before anaesthesia & intubation. I don't know if it will be their last. Be kind.

Everything @Jeremy_Hunt says here about safety, error and blame is true. Yet, there is a farcical disconnect between these sentiments and the #NHS chaos that he has helped to create. This is Nero playing his Violin whilst Rome burns.
It says something when one of the world’s leading medical journals calls on @gmcuk CEO, Charlie Massey, & chair, Terence Stephenson, to resign.
But no amount of warm words will rebuild doctors’ faith in our regulator. Action - this one - is vital. https://t.co/CQ5V7NUhv1
Jeremy Hunt has broken money laundering laws, which are punishable by up to 2 years in prison.
We believe he should resign immediately - please RT if you do too.

If you were under investigation by the GMC in 2012 you were 20 times more likely to commit suicide than the general population. 13 doctors committed suicide in that year alone.
We cannot ignore these facts. We must look after our doctors. #erasetheGMC
I resigned today. I truly hope @gmcuk recognise the impact of their actions. A culture of fear and blame helps no one. Given the worsening staffing crisis the #BawaGarba case could happen to anyone, any day. Will @Jeremy_Hunt take some responsibility for that?
@Jeremy_Hunt as you co-organised this meeting...shouldn’t this actually read ‘Jeremy Hunt gives Humanitarian Award to himself’ ?🤔 https://t.co/Oo2J9MPqIq
Congrats to @Jeremy_hunt, who today received the ‘Humanitarian Award’ from @joekiani at the World Patient Safety Summit for his global leadership on #patientsafety#nhs
Sheer madness. Another doctor prevented from working in our desperately understaffed NHS by ludicrous immigration rules. The reason? Her salary is too low for her to qualify for residence. And yet we're short of 40,000 doctors 🤦♀️

Slagging off the NHS is like slagging off your mum.
You are allowed to do it, but if anyone else even thinks about it they are in big trouble.
The NHS might not be perfect, but it has been there for all of us at some point, and we’ve never had to worry about the bill. https://t.co/MDsIlYg6RS
Nursing is a bloody tough job, made much harder by 40k nursing vacancies. Coupled with axing of Bursary, this is creating a domino effect of worsening recruitment & retention. Patient care and Nurses’ welfare both at serious risk
#NHSCrisis
@Jeremy_Hunt as your book (see here for a reminder https://t.co/e8Bc6Pc8PZ ) clearly states - a two tier system where people who can’t afford private services receive substandard care from a crumbling #NHS would still count as ‘Universal Access’ https://t.co/8ohSKNvJPS
Look, it’s 2018 not 1950.
The NHS is 24/7, yet your helpline is 9-5, M-F.
Can you not see why this flowchart is ludicrous?
Come on, @gmcuk. We need a quick, simple, online form/app where - even if the bleep’s on fire - we can speedily log out concerns.
#BawaGarba
Reflective practice on #BawaGaba:
1. Beware institutional racism
2. Never reflect in written form
3. Prepare to be thrown to wolves by your trust & consultant
4. Then pilloried by press
5. Then criminally convicted
6. And then - then - have @gmcuk destroy you.

Where are you getting these workers from @Jeremy_Hunt? You cut their numbers & demoralised them all so they left. Are you proud? https://t.co/q24fuFwNFE
