The best tweet on leadership and reputation I've seen for a very long time in the NHS.
Thank you Kate.

I am really concerned that time and space for training is being eroded - as our training staff ballot over pay, I would suggest #notrainingnoservice as industrial action - we have to invest in our future @HCSANews

Our thoughts are with the family of James Brokenshire, MP, who died of lung cancer today aged 53. James was passionate about raising awareness of lung cancer, its devastating impact and the need for early diagnosis. pcrs-uk.org/sites/pcrs-uk.or…

Summary:
The NHS…
- Was under-resourced & under-staffed
- Was hit HARDER than anywhere
- Lost >850 staff, left 1/2 suffering PTSD, stretched 16x
- ICUs mortality STILL good as anywhere
- AND ran amongst world’s BEST vaccine programme
So yes, the NHS IS pretty f**king special.
I’ve read this report from @iealondon and @K_Niemietz about the NHS “being nothing special”.
At best, it’s a bit silly. At worst, well, I can’t really repeat that.
Anyway, let’s take a look through it. /thread iea.org.uk/publications/vira…

Like many I'm a work in progress on this and it has lots of great tips 👇

The government’s decision to delay the second dose of the Pfizer vaccine is, in my opinion, entirely wrong. It’s not evidence based and has huge potential for harm on many levels bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

3) against evidenced based medicine, sets bad precedent. 4) a kick in the teeth to our front line staff who have faced this. 5) we don’t even know whether this approach works. 6) don’t like political interference in mhra, needs to be independent for drug safety.

Vaccine 1 dose v 2. Got to be 2. 1)mixed messaging and undermines case that we know what we are doing with the vaccine. 2) % of population wise the amount of Pfizer vaccine we have not going to make a huge difference to national picture if given as 1 dose

This graphic from @mugecevik (adapted by me) keeps @jasonleitch awake at night.
Basically, it says that folk who get infected on Christmas Day will be at peak infectiousness on Hogmanay but will be oblivious to their infection as they prob won't have any symptoms
Please Stay Safe

With truth, honesty and a genuine apology - forgiveness & reconciliation is possible - but it takes humility and courage.
