Just finished my renal oncall week with these soon-to-be doctors. I can't over-emphasise how hopeful I am for the future of medicine. Enthusiastic, confident, dedicated, inquisitive. Enjoy your month off and be brilliant doctors in August. Thank you for stepping up!❤🌈 @nhsuhcw

Welcome to the official Twitter page for the UHCW Renal Dietitians 👋 We hope we can use this space to share our knowledge, skills & information with you! #renal #dietitians #nephrology #nephtwitter

Two of our MB ChB students, Thomas and Jean-Pierre have been working on a project to help connect patients in-hospital with their loved ones during #Covid19. They have told us all about the project: bit.ly/2UnGArR

Q. How, as a Government, do you really irritate NHS trust CEOs at the end of another difficult, busy, hard, week? A. Announce two major operational policy changes on visiting and PPE usage at 1700 on a Friday afternoon without any notice or consultation. They are not amused!

Latest from DH: All staff in hospitals in England will be expected to wear surgical masks from the 15th June( in non clinical areas) and all visitors and outpatients will be expected to wear face coverings at all times (provided by hospitals if patients don’t have them)

We appreciate the care the NHS has given to kidney patients but it is essential that Government, NHS & supermarkets learn from the experience of the first pandemic wave, to improve resilience & communications for the future kidneycareuk.org/news-and-campa… #WorriedSick #CoronaKidney

The Health Secretary, Matt Hancock has announced that all hospital visitors and outpatients will need to wear face coverings. And Mr Hancock said all hospital staff will be required to wear surgical masks at all times, in all areas.

We've updated our Coronavirus advice kidneycareuk.org/coronavirus This includes new guidance for those of you who are shielding. From 1 June, people in England and Wales can start taking steps to spend time safely outdoors, if they want to do so

This week is #DietitiansWeek and we are celebrating our fantastic team @nhsuhcw who work with all ages in hospital & community to ensure the best nutritional management for our patients.👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 @andreafralph @bekki_ford @clare_pheasant @eastermark @UHCWDietitians @BDA_Dietitians

Medicine resident: We have a 1200 year old mummified corpse who needs a CT abdo for a slightly elevated lactate... Radiology: What’s their eGFR?

#dietitiansweek2020 it begins 1-5th June.. #whatdietitiansdo

@LisaBerry1978 I've been off this week. Will book myself in on Monday!

@dj_ford It’s been the whole of pathology, it’s been quite incredible really. The teamwork has been amazing. Hope you’ve secured youreself an appointment!

Today has been challenging. Our pathology team have been amazing getting antibody testing in and up and running in less than a week. We opened testing to staff this morning and floodgates have opened. We have been inundated. Well done everyone. We go again tomorrow.

Very privileged to watch this live and fully agree with the result of this poll. What an evening!🥇🥇🥇

@Emily_J_RD You could always ask to use the renal department's carrier pigeon? 🕊🖨✉😉

@SianOCx Big love Sianie❤

Mega low today.

I had a feeling this was going to be the case. My son is autistic. We can’t get childcare apart from very few family and friends. I had suspected COVID. We stayed where we were. Don’t throw that back in our faces now. Don’t you dare.

This poor boy's family stayed away from his deathbed & funeral because they obeyed the Govt rules. Imagine how that family is feeling now, knowing that all they had to do was follow their 'instinct', not the rules? You're a disgrace @BorisJohnson. RIP Ismail.

This was a test of the Prime Minister and he has failed it. It is an insult to sacrifices made by the British people that Boris Johnson has chosen to take no action against Dominic Cummings.
