Dear public: wearing disposable gloves does not make you immune from infection or spreading it. Healthcare workers dispose of them between patients and wash hands. We don’t wear them all day.

You can all stop making fun of the Irish like this. I enjoy comedy but not when it’s stereotyping and making outright offensive jokes at the expense of the people.

I once gave someone a suppository to insert themselves and they inserted it up their rectum, inside the packet….and it was sharp like this. Honestly you just can’t trust people😫
Busy night in triage. Noticeable rise in

cases stemming from social isolation. People are fragile, alone and in despair. Reach out.

@Dr_DeanS
Yeah I know you guys don’t earn much. I never understand why people think docs are loaded. Plus the extra responsibility you guys have is a huge reason for higher pay ph. It’s just ludicrous.

While I’m all for proactive approaches, unleashing students into clinical areas without full training and sign off is madness It will affect their profession and leave them vulnerable. If we weren’t 40k short of nurses this wouldn’t be an issue.

That’s lovely to hear and it means the world to NHS staff, including me to hear this. Especially at a time of unprecedented pressures and stress. Good luck with your recovery

Love trad. But not on a delayed plane. You don’t know what other people are travelling for grief, breakup etc. not everyone needs this
@EmergMedDr
Yes Mike. And you can add photos of staff and their name badges being taken, with threats to go to papers because they have to wait to be seen. It wouldn’t happen in Tesco, so why is it so often tolerated in healthcare? 🤔
@Conor1971
I’ve worked in A&E long enough to see the devastation caused by pushes like this and resultant head injuries. Big men until they kill someone.

Oh my god this makes me want to vomit. The hate and intolerance is oozing from these people. They should be embarrassed and ashamed.
@KatPaton13
They’re trained professionals and capable of given OTC advice. They’re intelligent people. Some doctors seem OBSESSED at the minute with other HCPs advancing. It’s toxic and I’m sick of it.

I’ve come to realise more and more that many people are selfish and don’t care about others or why the waiting time is what it is.
Overheard someone in a cafe today saying “if you get an ambulance to A&E, you get seen quicker”
Let me tell you this: ambulances to ED don’t = seen quicker. Keep ambulances for real emergencies!

Why are all the executives in the Health Trusts saying we’re at tipping point and the strike will push us over the edge? WE HAVE BEEN LIKE THIS FOR YEARS!

Self entitled. Pharmacists are educated professionals with a duty of care in dispensing as well as ensuring supply available for those who need it further diabetes management.
If you’re ever asked to stand aside, behind a screen to make way for a ventilated, critically ill patient, don’t berate and abuse the person asking you to do so. It’s called respect and dignity. Have some.

NI Nurses ‘19: all we want is pay parity.
Govt: we have no money soz.
NI nurses: picketing in storms.
Govt ‘20: here’s £5bn to combat

*mostly women. Let’s not forget about the contribution of our male colleagues please. It’s this type of statement that causes stereotypes
@WelshGasDoc
Well today I was charging a patients phone and checked to see if it was charged and accidentally took multiple terrible selfies. I had to use Google translate to explain what I’d done

@KatenNP
As a ‘Male nurse’ I am often mistaken for a doctor, especially in scrubs at the moment. Equally frustrating but shows that gender stereotypes still exist.

Burn the uniform Cliff? Are you wise? We don’t have the luxury of getting a new one every day. We don’t even have enough scrubs in hospital.

@mariaalcoptia
Suddenly everyone is versed in public safety and has attended deescalation and weapons training. If the dogs represented a danger they had to act.
@sazwyn
Why does it matter that it says “doctor”. Regardless of role, we’re all one team. I wouldn’t be offended if asked. They deal with a lot of shi* and often can’t leave the patient anyway. Stop making it a big deal
Note to some: if you can wait 5 hours (non emergency)for an ambulance yet live 5 mins from A&E with own transport, you don’t need an ambulance. Stop abusing the system😡
