Before this pandemic, they were paediatric doctors, theatre nurses, physiotherapists and surgeons but as the crisis continues they’re all becoming ITU workers. Thanks @leonrestaurants for providing lunch on this vital training day #LEON @NHSHomerton @HomertonSafety

This week we have been running daily simulations to prepare for patients with COVID19. This has been essential to 1) ensure staff are aware of new policies and guidelines 2) spot glaring problems in the process 3) improve staff confidence! Learning points to come #covidsim

Christmas is fast approaching and many NHS workers will be giving up their own time to provide vital support for patients and families. Here are some tips from Dr Katharine Jamieson @lantum on how we can keep our workforce happy and healthy @NHSHomerton #homsim #NHS

First up, a workshop by Ester Murray - how do you recognise when you're stressed? What words do you use? How do you de-stress? Many people said exercise, but what is the first thing that becomes compromised when you get busy?
Thanks to all who attended our conference! Those of you who couldn't make it, we'll be sharing some graphics (made by the incredible Camille at camilleaubry.com) from our talks and workshops.
