Spending multiple nights in a hospital almost guarantees dangerous #sleep deprivation. The lights, noise, interruptions to be poked and prodded. Mostly necessary. Definitely awful. Often #delirium inducing. (images: @EMARIANOMD) #Alzheimers #dementia

The NHS is open. Coronavirus - advice for parents: You need to contact your doctor or nurse today if your child has any of these symptoms. Please call your GP surgery or call NHS 111 - dial 111 @GM_HSC #coronavirus #COVID-19

The Spirit of Salford Helpline can help with a range of issues - if you're self-isolating with no support from family or friends we can arrange a food box and other support. We can also advise you if your income has reduced or arrange help if you're feeling overwhelmed #COVID19

“as much as possible” “if you can” “where possible” Too ambiguous. Unenforceable. #StayAtHome

Great article on change from #COVIDー19 - with simple & useful framework to structure plans & thinking (thanks for share @kevwyke ☺️)

How can we create real, lasting change after Covid-19? @ianburbidge looks at ways to amplify and embed the most promising changes and innovations when this is over. thersa.org/discover/publi…

Fantastic thread on the management of #COVID19 outbreaks in B.C. nursing homes. I cannot emphasize this enough: "diarrhea, fatigue, confusion, or 'they just didn't seem like themself' have all led to positive tests and successful prevention of spread". @DFisman @BogochIsaac

If anyone tells you that massive and deadly #COVID19 outbreaks in #LongTermCare are "inevitable," please tell them otherwise. We've managed 17 LTC outbreaks in Vancouver Coastal Health and have developed some useful measures, which we think are life-saving. 1/

A credit to all the excellent staff at Beechfield Lodge who always provide compassionate care to their residents. ❤️🌈

The fantastic Vinny coming out of isolation. He has beaten Covid-19. His attitude has been fab throughout-as Vinny would say- I have kicked its butt! @AnchorHanover @ashcrofts @BeechfieldLodge @BorisJohnson @salford @carehome 👏👏🌈😀

Most thorough medical clerking I’ve seen for an absolute firecracker of an elderly patient. Alcohol: likes a glass of wine or occasional gin and tonic (Bombay sapphire only, does not like Gordons) ♥️
