ALERT: The @CV_UHB Park and Ride shut early at 16:00 today. The cars are now locked in for the next few days. I did not see any alerts about this so it will likely have affected other staff too. @drstuartwalker @SMcL_UHW_MD @JenneyMeriel @drdlh77

On HOSPITAL transfers of ICU patients Pre COVID-19 (infact even in the first surge) these were a rarity, termed 'non-clinical transfers' & subject to local review at senior level. ie something to avoid During surge 2 they have risen as never before 1/8
