Six weeks ago, we highlighted the appalling racial disparity in 3rd dose roll-out.
Since then, @NHSEngland has failed to publish data on what's happened since or any plans to address it.
Immunocompromised people from ethnic minorities deserve better!

When you try & deliver something complicated at pace mistakes can happen. That’s why partnerships between NHS & patient organisations are vital, they allow fast course correction which is what’s happened here through our work w/ @NHSDigital on covid treatment #StrongerTogether
Blood Cancer UK@bloodcancer_uk
❗📢 Recently, the NHS wrote to people who were eligible to be assessed for whether they qualify for new treatments if they contracted Covid. In England, these people were sent a priority PCR test. 🧵...

And here is our poster 👍
Quick Summary:
- remote working can be hard
- being a trainee with health stuff can be hard
- connecting people has benefits both in terms of achievement and support - let’s do it more often

This is true.
And it's not just about the clinically vulnerable. It's for all our safety.
We would not tolerate dirty drinking water in our workplace.
Now we have the evidence, we should not be tolerating stale air either.

@SarahJTodd Risk assessments must involve ventilation -which requires a 'competent person' such as a buildings engineer to assess according to HSE guidance. Vulnerable staff must not be solely responsible for their own safety. Employers must assess individual needs. hse.gov.uk/coronavirus/eq…

@SarahJTodd Completely agree that all with specific Covid risk have the appropriate risk assessment and support they need. Pleased the article included mention of Lord Mendelsohn writing on behalf of APPG on vulnerable groups to demand national guidance for this group of clinicians

There is already clear NHS Employers / NHSE England guidance regarding the need for risk assessment for CEV staff.

The gap between national guidance and frontline implementation now clearly needs addressing.
And access to OH.

Yes, many thanks to the @APPG_VGP for their support and helping raise the profile of the @the_shielding @ShieldingDrs @cv_cev in Parliament.
(Obviously this article highlights the shortcomings of risk assessments in the NHS. I can't imagine any better in other employment sectors)

CEV Healthcare workers are mentioned here. Keep up to date on what should be happening - risk assessment is so important - nhsemployers.org/articles/risk-….

This page is excellent, it highlights the remaining risk for patients with blood cancer even after vaccination due to reduced efficacy. So important in understanding our risk. @ShieldingDrs @MPNVoice

@trishgreenhalgh @bmj_latest Can someone/ANYONE(!) please organise antibody testing for people admitted to hospital due to COVID infection despite double vaccination? We need to know whether these are the peeps who have failed to develop a decent IgG anti-spike antibody response. In the interests of science!

Thank you to our host Lord Mendelsohn and speakers @rowntron, @drlennardlee, @AlisonBirtle, @hal_cohen and @NYLCandCLL for your insights in our webinar yesterday on cancer and immunocompromised people, and to attendees for your informative and moving contributions.

@trishgreenhalgh we’ve been asking for this since last year. ITU staff have clearly been protected by the FFP3 masks, despite caring for the sickest of COVID patients, as was demonstrated in a study of healthcare professional mortality and morbidity from COVID last year.

And I'm back! It's so nice to be on this side of the desk. Easing back in after shielding/sick/working from home.
Did a few fracture clinics over half-term. Loving my e-cycle commute. Great team @ESHTNHS. @ShieldingDrs

👩🔬🧑🔬Would you like to know what immune-response you develop following the Covid-19 vaccine? We are looking to recruit 80 people to take part in this study ➡️ uhnm.nhs.uk/latest-uhnm-ne…

Useful study. Reduced antibody response to Pzifer vaccine in CLL patients, esp those on ibrutinib and venetoclax. Patients need disease-specific advice and counselling. Expect more similar studies to follow. ashpublications.org/blood/article/…
