Thanks to all those who came today and thanks to Saul Crombie UHDB for supporting with the Comms.Tomorrow we will at the falls conference!

🧵 Our A&E departments are extremely busy today. If you have a minor illness or injury such as a burn, sprain, infection, or rash, you'll be seen quicker at an Urgent Treatment Centre or Minor Injuries Unit.

Here, you can receive care for a range of minor injuries and illnesses.

Meeral was a pleasure to meet, and she's absolutely spot on that even the smallest of changes we can make as individuals, can have a huge impact on the environment if we all pitch in and do our bit!

Some mornings, like this one that I spent with Ozzy and Ronnie, don't feel like 'work' at all 🐶

I had the pleasure to speak with Ronnie as I shadowed her and Ozzy around our QHB site, meeting so many patients, colleagues and visitors (who all adored him)
