So the emails you meant to write remain unsent So your report that is due is not finished So the dishes remain piled high in your overflowing sink So your to do list remains mostly undone You have survived another week of the plague And though that is not enough it is enough

@raseaton66 Prophetic name…

Let’s hope not

@invadingpirate @microlabdoc @raseaton66 @shepherdlesley7 @LawtonTri I completely agree. We are very fortunate in Scotland that local teams validate each of our hospital onset cases individually. If we only use linked data, we underestimate the burden. So important to recognise strengths and limitations of data and use to improve and support

@microlabdoc @raseaton66 @shonacc @shepherdlesley7 @LawtonTri There are significant data problems here with some Trusts which I know have had major problems sitting at the bottom. But the principle is probably right. We ought to be learning. In a non judgemental way.

@SMHopkins Thank you Susan and Rob. I needed this... I took a day away from COVID to focus on the looming deadline for my Applied Epi clinical science portfolio. These words motivated a tired healthcare scientist :-)

Glad to see the -*quite*- essential, overworked, superstars and lots more superlatives

@lomondtrossachs Rowardennan also full and very difficult to get turned back.

It's another beautiful day in @lomondtrossachs ☀️. If you're heading out in the National Park today roads & carparks will be busy especially in popular places. #Balmaha carpark is already almost full. Plan ahead & think of alternative routes or using public transport if you can
