Excellent from Adam Finn Rick Malley - if the right questions not asked in vaccine trials, we lack the big picture. Effective control of CoVID-19 needs more than a race for which developing vaccine is ‘best’ on one measure. Strategy may need diff vaccine features in diff groups

SPC awarded a £500 grant to the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity at its September meeting. In 2019 the Great Western Air Ambulance Charity's Critical Care Team were tasked to five critically ill and injured patients in Saltford. SPC's draft September minutes are now available at saltfordparishcouncil.gov.uk/Core/Saltford-…

A chance to get creative and win some great prizes. Perfect for our NICU graduates and NICU siblings

Hugely inspiring (virtual!) meeting of the SouthWest Neonatal Forum today! Brilliant talks, stimulating discussion and debate, and lots of shared learning. Great to see so many faces from all over the region. Thank you all @swneonatal Andrew Ewer Pam cairns #swnnf #ebneo

If you’re worried about the delayed second dose of the COVID vaccines here’s a thread. I live with my wonderful mother-in-law (below): she is high risk and has had a single dose. She's hoping for another but is worried about a delay. You may feel the same... #VaccineStrategy

SCAM ALERT: GP surgeries are contacting residents about the COVID19 vaccine by text & call, but remember the NHS will NEVER ask for bank details. If you're asked for bank details via a link or on the phone just ignore / hang up. Share with those not online saltfordparishcouncil.gov.uk/scam-alert-res…

My first podcast recorded last Yr when we won a patient experience award for our @NicuFoundation Neonatal Animation. open.spotify.com/episode/5ENGdt…

Great strides have been made in building up the TRANSFER network, over 60 sites signed so far. A huge thanks to all our regional leads for helping to get centres on board to this national service evaluation of threatened pre-term birth. tinyurl.com/4n56fb9k

We are deeply disturbed by the many reports from #Ukraine describing attacks on hospitals, healthcare workers & on children & young people. These actions are in defiance of international humanitarian law and will devastate a generation. See our statement: rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/ne…

Around 1,000 babies are born each day in Ukraine and about 100 of them will require some form of neonatal intensive care. Read BAPM's statement on the events currently unfolding in Ukraine below. bapm.org/articles/bapm-…
