The passing of Her Majesty is an immeasurable loss. Remembering with gratitude her lifetime of devoted service to us all.

Across the NHS, social care & all our emergency services staff put themselves in harm’s way, working long hours in incredibly difficult conditions. No letting off steam after their shifts because the rules were clear, they were there to save lives & they applied to everyone

Really welcome report from the All Party Parliamentary Group on Rural Health & Care, addressing often hidden inequalities and with many clear examples of good practice and innovation roseregeneration.co.uk/wp-content/upl…

Great to hear ⁦Chris Boardman⁩ . Would love a conversation with you about how Integrated Care Systems could help play a role in helping to promote active travel and wellbeing through cycling and walking theguardian.com/commentisfree/…

Devon is bracing for the #Omicron wave. We already have a high baseline of cases and severe pressure on staff, urgent & emergency care, community services & beds. Help us to help you and the people you love #GetBoostedNow

London NHS pressure mounting rapidly. Hospitalised covid patients up 30% in week vs national 4%. At 1,534 yesterday (vs 8k in Jan'21 peak). Covid linked staff absences up 140% from 1,900 Sunday to 4,700 Thurs. Some trusts now having to postpone non essential activity 🧵..1/6

This is the final week for applications to become an independent non-exec member of NHS Devon, part of a new system to help our health, emergency, care and voluntary services to work together as effectively & sustainably as possible. ics-ned-recruitment.com/job/devon-desi…

Lovely to join the wonderful team of staff & volunteers at Claremont Medical Practice today as they put boosters under the booster campaign. If you have the skills to vaccinate & are able to help us to save lives in Devon please get in touch devonccg.nhs.uk/health-service…

Informative thread for anyone wanting to understand reasons behind surging UK COVID infections. This should be guiding govt policy rather than just normalising a deeply worrying situation that is worsening already dire pressures across the NHS. The UK is clearly an outlier

Hi Twitter #lepidopterists what does this lovely furry little guy turn into & what plants would suit him more than my table?

If you look at infection *rates* and use ONS denominators (as statisticians recommend), Covid cases are lower among the vaccinated than the unvaccinated.

Hospitalisations and deaths are dramatically lower.

The news story here is how well vaccines work.

This is dangerously misleading. Infections are higher because of how many more people are double vaxxed than unvaccinated.

The fully vaccinated are three times less likely to be infected (see the React study).

Thanks Dave, really looking forward to joining you & all the team at Torbay and South Devon NHS Foundation Trust in October
