With a prevalence of 1 in 100 in the UK, hundreds of thousands are affected, but shockingly, nearly half a million people remain undiagnosed, potentially suffering from unexplained symptoms. Could you be one of them? Find out more: bit.ly/3BU6SYP #CoeliacDisease

We all need help and support sometimes. If you'd prefer to contact someone outside of your work place, here are a few services available to you ->>
Fantastic summary of current #Covid_19 research from @e_sapey (@acutemedicine research lead at @uhbtrust). Please share amongst colleagues. A key point is the low Sn of NP swabs. It's early data but highlights the importance of clinical diagnoses as always.

She is amazing! Well done Ellie. Spreading joy and keeping patients entertained in AMAA 👏🏼
Seven year-old Ellie Wongso (daughter of one of our doctors, Dr Wen Leong) brought #Christmas cheer as she played her violin for staff, patients and visitors at City Hospital to raise funds for @SWBHCharity.

Hey #MedTwitter - is anyone out there a Midlands EM consultant with space on their rota for a little one? I'm looking to spend more time down that way (where my better half lives) so if anyone can RT and find me some staff banks to join, I'd be very grateful. Sorry @StJohns_ED!
