Time for a rest. #ItsOKtonotbeOK

@ProfW_edinsurg Noooooo! Truly the end of an era! Phenomenal surgeon and absolute gentleman! Enjoy your well earned retirement @spbsurgery

End of an era -the inimitable SPB retired today in his words- leaving the unit a better place than when he arrived- laden with whisky, gifts and fully masked #Legend

Happy Advanced Practice week to all of our ANP colleagues at #RIE and across @NHS_Lothian #AdvPracWeek20

@204Rie @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian @ja3716 @sdunn1980 @Michell10251597 @profalexmcmahon End of an era! Such a kind, caring, compassionate Dr and the loveliest man. Best of luck in the BGH Tom!

Delighted to welcome Viv as our new Staff Nurse! Viv has been with us during the covid19 pandemic as a Student Nurse and been fantastic throughout. Welcome Viv and well done. @Nickylou1982 @HannahBallanty2 @RIE_Lothian @NHS_Lothian #204rie #respiratory #respisbest #chestisbest

@ja3716 I know! Can’t wait for that day to come

What a lovely picture, reminds me of what it was like to not have to physically distance from each other.... it will come again 🙏

Amazing opportunity to come join our team and be part of developing an innovative new role and service and be trained by and work under me and Elspeth 😊 closing date 09/09 internal applicants only. NB; photos with people in them taken pre COVID-19 #respisbest

@204Rie @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian Absolutely delighted to see this! The whole team have worked so hard during this time, I’m proud to work with such a bunch of dedicated, caring and compassionate legends.

As from tomorrow + after 88 days + nights @204Rie staff officially go back to looking after non-covid #respiratory pts again. It's been tough, there's been tears, it's been sad, but we stuck together + always put our pts first. #respISbest! #COVID19 @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian

@ILauragroom They sure are! 💜💜

@lawn_sinead Sending you lots of get well real soon virtual hugs xx

@scraptheNHScap @riecriticalcare @204Rie A wee tear escaped out my eye there! Amazing teamwork from everyone 😊😊😊

Could not be more prouder of my team than I already am. The whole MDT and @riecriticalcare team are working amazingly well together to make sure these pts are ALL WALKING out of @204Rie eventually. #proud #teamrespiratory #wegotthis #204Rie

@204Rie @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian What a fantastic appointment! Massive well done Jackie, so well deserved 😊😊

Delighted to announce our new Deputy Charge Nurse to the #204Rie management team! @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian #respiratory #respisbest #chestisbest #teamrespiratory

Fantastic to see the nursing teams at @RIE_Lothian celebrating international nurses day. You make me so proud, you have managed covid with compassion, leadership, resilience and team work. Stories of care and support for each other every day, our nursing team never been stronger

Hello! At the University of Edinburgh, we're looking into sleep and mood during lockdown using the following questionnaire: edinburgh.onlinesurveys.ac.uk/covid-19_study There's a chance of winning £100! We really want men to help us out - only 15% of 1.7K responders are men!

This is an important piece of work...getting our nursing voices heard is very important! Please partake if you can! @204Rie @scraptheNHScap @Nickylou1982

@204Rie @dianemccabe @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian @sdunn1980 @Michell11234651 @gillian_mcauley @profalexmcmahon Love this! So well deserved 😊😊

Our brand new Band 7 @dianemccabe steps up on a 3 month secondment from the #204Rie Charge Nurse team. Doesn't she suit the navy blue!!! @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian @sdunn1980 @Michell11234651 @gillian_mcauley @profalexmcmahon #respiratory #respisbest #chestisbest #teamrespiratory

Fantastic few days in #204Rie watching patients who were in @riecriticalcare for many many days, often weeks, mostly intubated and now being discharged home with their loved ones. Tears all round - HAPPY tears at last! @NHS_Lothian @RIE_Lothian #COVID19 #respiratory #goodnews!
