Every measles case is preventable Every measles death is preventable By vaccines. I've seen with my own eyes kids die from measles. A measles epidemic, when we known exactly how to prevent it, would be unforgivable. #VaccinesWork bbc.co.uk/news/health-662004…

Great to see the RCPath supporting the need to increase Consultant Clinical Scientist numbers in microbiology and Virology (but worrying to read the words "pending workforce crisis"). @NSHCS @CSOSue @ahcsuk @TheACBNews rcpath.org/profession/workfo…

Roll out of the air purifiers underway @UHDBTrust. Remember: * They are not an air conditioning unit * They are not a bin * Keep them plugged in and turned on * Clean the outside daily with a detergent wipe * Contact IPC or clinical engineering with any concerns

Not feeling particularly motivated this week. Pay for Consultant Clinical Scientists falling further behind medical equivalent roles. Lower bands do deserve bigger increase, but this is demoralising. @TheACBNews @ahcsuk
