Participants still needed! We are working to improve delivery of psychological care in MND and need your help. We want to speak with our MDT colleagues who have worked alongside psychologists to learn about the role and potential value of having psychology in the team.

Hey @Philips and @ResMed . I need contact with someone who can discuss an multicentre innovative clinical trial with your company. Can you drop me a line? Link to email in biog. #niv

Anyone who is the main carer for someone with #MND or any other serious neurological illness can get vaccinated as a priority (after more clinically vulnerable people: may not be immediate).You need to make sure you are registered with your GP as a carer @SYMNDA @SandraSmithmnd

@Davido744 Happy Birthday matey. Enjoy your days off, you’ve earned them! Beers soon. Stay safe.

Two days off now to celebrate my 40th b’day. Not quite as planned with the current lockdown but reflecting on a very satisfying week where we discharged our 50th patient from critical care. Helping patients to walk, talk and start their recovery makes it all worthwhile #COVID19

Perhaps after this nightmare is over, his government could show its appreciation by not, once again, voting against any possible pay rises for our @NHSuk heroes. Just a thought.

Yesterday London’s ICU capacity was 86%. Of its pre-covid critical care capacity this would = 135% The responsiveness, preparedness, flexibility and collaborative working by the NHS has been phenomenal. Once again with very little we have stepped up to serve patients best we can

Very useful 👍🏾

1/21 After caring for patients in the ICU with #COVID for the last week, the time seems right for a #pulmonology #tweetorial on #Proning or #PronePositioning @sanjayvdesai @OslerResidency @JHUPCCMFellows @CPSolvers @thecurbsiders @cardionerds @tony_breu @david_furfaro @chadhoc

@SR_Hakes @RebeccaMLiv Great tip! Very hard to work out who is who in scrubs and PPE!

@RebeccaMLiv @Coxy3237 this may already be happening but name and prof written on apron helpful

1/3 My learning to date from treating COVID patients: 1.Secretion load fluctuates dramatically in intubated patients. 2.Patients can deteriorate quickly 3.Pre-oxygenation before airway clearance is wise 4.PPE donning and doffing becomes second nature quickly.

Coronavirus: Physiotherapists help COVID-19 patients in intensive care news.sky.com/story/coronavi…

Physiotherapists are on the frontline in the fight against coronavirus. We have been hearing about the critical role they play in ITU for the latest in our Healthcare Heroes series on @SkyNews this evening

If you think that journalists should make way for frontline #NHS specialists (eg Intensive Care, Infectious Diseases, Respiratory Medicine, Nursing, & Public Health) to ask the questions at the Government’s daily #COVID19 briefing, then please RT
