COVID ECMO referrals have rocketed the last few days.
All unvacc. We haven’t had vaccinated ECMO patient ever. If pregnant & unvaccinated, please please discuss COVID vacc with your Obs/midwife urgently. Vaccination is the only way out of this. @NHSEngland @MidwivesRCM @RCObsGyn

There are 5 Gynaecological (Gynae) cancers and knowing the possible symptoms as well as being confident to talk about them could be a lifesaver & challenge stigma that prevents so many from seeking help.

@MerlinEntsNews despite making several attempts to contact Warwick castle by phone, live chat and email I have had no response to my query regarding a booking tomorrow. Dreadful customer service, I fear I am set to loose £80.

@WarwickCastle your customer service is poor. Despite ringing and emailing for over a week I have had no answer or replies. I have booking tomorrow
