Absolute rubbish! My dad took one of these yesterday, easy video & clear instructions to follow! Not to mention briiliant quick delivery & collection service!

Absolutely true! I have a family friend that owns several local nursing & care homes, he saw what was coming & took the decision to stockpile PPE in Jan/Feb - no COVID deaths in any of his homes so far. Owners do need to take some responsibility for their failings!
🩰 Congratulations to both Eva (Year 9) and Emma (Year 11) for their amazing achievement in successfully auditioning for the English Youth Ballet.
Both girls will be performing at the Opera House in Manchester in the English Youth Ballet's production of Cinderella in Hollywood

1/ Not sure who you’re directing this at but find this offensive. As a PAED crit care ANP I have 25 years experience in this area & many of my roles cross over into what were traditionally Dr’s. Qualified with a diploma, then spend 3 years completing a BSc in Child Acute Health
Exactly a year ago today we were in the middle of training 250 staff in critical care skills & ventilation ready for them to be redeployed to intensive care. We may be smiling in these photos but my god we were scared of the tsunami of covid patients that we knew were coming 1/2

Volunteered to become a vaccinator, 23 years of working in the NHS & the amount of ‘training’ required to administer the vaccine is ridiculous not to mention time consuming!!
You were 6 weeks old, shaken to near death. Nursed on the PICU, treatment was futile, the damage too severe. Neither your mum or dad wanted to hold you in your last moments, I took you out of the cot & cuddled you whilst you took your last breath.

could you help in sending a farewell message to our amazing Intensive Care Consultant Dr Naga Puppala leaving this Wednesday? Massive cricket fan often seen

What an amazing man, born the same year as my Grandad who also served in the RAF as a rear gunner in the Lancaster Bombers, we will never see a generation like them again 💙

2/ followed by a number of years doing speacialist qualifications in PIC, a PGCert in Eduction, an MSC in Paed Advanced Practice of which our competencies matched those of the RCPCH, also trained by the very best Consultants in Paed Anaesthesia, PIC/PIC Transport.
So proud to reveal this amazing piece of art Painting for Saints, created by

I have asthma (as do many of my healthcare colleagues) & worn a fit tested FFP3 medical grade mask for 13 hour shifts, it does not affect your oxygenation or CO2 levels! If we can wear them then i’m pretty sure the public can wear a cloth facecovering!🙏👌
@KatydearKate
We ran a 2 day course for prep of first wave & more recently a ‘refresher’ ready for our current wave. Lots of resources from our adult colleagues, happy to share 😊

Every respect to all staff working in the adult sector over these last 12 months, the resilience you all have is amazing! Hope we were able to ease some of the pressure & help ensure every patient that needed an ICU bed got one.
@DrEilidhMaria
3/ Qualified as an ANP 10 years ago. Our team work seamlessly & support trainees that rotate through & our nursing staff. We work as a team together, with other MDT members, physios, dietitians & pharmacists. This division that is being sought by your agenda has no place
1/3 We were part of a huge NHS team that ensured every adult that needed invasive ventilation received the care they needed, not just in the 1st wave but the 2nd (3rd) too. Huge thanks and respect to our adult colleagues for holding our hands

@ProfCalumSemple
just listened to your interview on 5 live whilst driving home after a long day, some great points made!👍 lets hope people are listening 🙏
@JessicaDaisie
It’s brutal when you first see it but completely understand why & the need for rapid assessment. Unfortunately the media will never understand it
Trained in ebola grade PPE we were worried. Having seen the news reports in Italy & spoke to our colleagues there, it looked and sounded like a war zone. Thankfully we didn’t see lots of children with covid but we were part of the north west intensive care network

Threatening nurses with loss of their professional registration if they strike is a disgrace! How about realising that the reality of working in todays NHS, patient safety is at risk daily in addition to working conditions that put nurses registrations at risk frequently!!
@sisternavy
Surely this can’t be true??! Jeez it just gets worse! Next she’ll be saying those people in cardiac arrest will be able to administer their own adrenaline!! 🤦♀️😂
@DrKanaris
Red flags 🚩- 1. wanting to be allocated to the sickest of babies & complaining when not. 2. Babies collapsing without any other witnesses. 3. Blaming others, denial & raising a grievance to force an apology. 4. Narcissistic behaviour

They’ve made such a difference to our children’s families, staff & more recently our adult patients & their families. Every Trust needs to invest in this service, so very important!

@DrEilidhMaria
Erm now nothing in my post says my qualifications make me a Dr! It’s disrespectful to those that have taken the leap into Advanced Practice (now matter what their professional background is). This isn’t a competition, not sure what your experience of ACP’s /ANP’s are
@SepsisUK
@NTravel76
@dasgobardhan
Absolutely & not to mention every children’s intensive care unit in the UK admitted covid adults & stopped all routine surgery. This was not a conspiracy this is responding to a pandemic 👍
🌈💔today has been a sad day here as we said a final goodbye to one of our own, our friend and colleague Sister Sue Tickle, after a brave battle with cancer. A emotional tribute saw East Prescott Road lined with everyone clapping in her honour. RIP Sue it’s been a pleasure xx💔🌈

you’ll be hugely missed! Absolute legend ❤️
@credland_nicki
Serious/major incidents expected to be declared across paediatric services this bank holiday. No HCP wants this, the blame is firmly at the Governments door
@timricketts_
My question would be who took handover about the patient when 3rd Dr went home at 12? Good communication should mean you know what’s going on with all patients on the ward, at least enough to give a relative an update
@ejgarner85
Emma you will be amazing, remember to look after yourself - PICU is tough (as you know ❤️) but what a fantastic legacy for beautiful Thomas xx
