'To me, managing #Diabetes well is founded on 3 basic principles: self-management,peer support & access to trained professionals

And that stands for any chronic disease

The problem?
We do not spend enough time & effort on the first two'

Our next step towards supporting all of our BWC NHS Trust people through the difficult months ahead is to offer a free breakfast to everyone to help start the day well. Our patients and families need us to be at our best and we won’t be if we’re hungry.

Thank you Natalie and everyone putting themselves at risk on the frontline of our NHS. Sadly this will get worse. Much worse. So please help the NHS, Protect your family, Protect your friends by staying at home. This is not a rehearsal.

Lots of concern about UK's approach to #COVID19 . I'm not an epidemiologist or a virologist (=> can't judge the detail) but I knew Patrick Vallance before he was famous and I believe he is a man of integrity. Same for Chris Whitty. Science, not politics, is driving their thinking.

As COVID-19 puts pressure on services doctors will have to work differently for their patients. The UK CMOs, medical director NHS, Royal Colleges and GMC are clear that in emergencies doctors must be supported to work in new and unfamiliar ways. This letter is for all doctors.

Roopen, well done. This shows the impact of effective clinical leadership with aligned financial and regulatory incentives to help our patients. Common purpose is a great model for change.

What value can volunteers bring to the NHS? And how can it benefit the volunteers themselves?

Flu on the rise. Massive variation in staff vaccination rates between hospitals. 30% of flu transmitted by people without symptoms. Vaccine still best protection for NHS staff and patients. bit.ly/2CnvcBj twitter.com/phe_uk/status/…

In all of the arguing its the patients and families we have to hold on to.The NHS was created 'in place of fear' and it must never return.

RCP Whittington Health NHS Trust NHS England Bruce Keogh. Whatever people say, Health and Care staff are making extraordinary efforts to provide quality care in very difficult times. They must be recognised and valued.
