@unlessIsayso Thank you for getting in touch, Mrs Y. Please can you DM us some more information so that we can look into this? Can you confirm the exact location and what was being discussed?

@GSTTnhs I’m assuming this is your employee…sitting in a public area of the hospital - on her laptop, on a phone call discussing patients on loud speaker. I am mortified. I have purposely not shown her face. CCTV can tell you the rest 17 March at 14:25.

@nickyjanehill @EvelinaLondon Hi Nicky, we’re really sorry for the distress this has caused. Please can you send us a DM with your name and the number the texts are coming to, so we can look into this urgently with our teams? If you prefer, you can also contact our PALS team directly on 020 7188 8801

What is going on @EvelinaLondon @GSTTnhs I keep getting texts about my new birth health visit - 5 in the last hour. I’ve never been pregnant & it’s a bit upsetting as well as concerning re: data & comms. No one answers the phone number included.

@damolakeston @GSTT_ICU Thank you for your kind words. Wishing your daughter a continued good recovery.

@sp37156386 Thanks for the suggestion! We will discuss your idea with relevant teams at the Trust.

@GSTTnhs I love that your Guys campus is smoke free but I’d imagine some benefits are being offset by the cars and ambulances idling in the daily queue for the car park/patient drop-off. Maybe some signage/advice could be given to drivers to switch off engines while waiting?

Did you know measles can spread quickly if children aren’t vaccinated? For some, it can be quite serious. The good news: it’s never too late to get protected! Check with your GP to make sure your child’s vaccinations are up to date. We’re here to help keep your family healthy.
