Disappointed with BBC Breakfast this morning. 😒 Suggestion was that ALL pts with Covid should be cared for in hospital and that home Rx was a failure of the NHS. Most pts will have a mild illness and should be NOWHERE near a hospital. Better reporting please!

Exciting things are coming 👀👩‍⚕️🌟 NHS Find Your Place #FindYourPlace

This afternoon we had a surprise visit from one of our hospital pharmacists, Mark Graham at the centre playing some music for our patients!🎵 #MusicTherapy #Delirium South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust

I'll be observing the minute's silence at 11am on Tuesday 28 April for workers who've lost their lives. Please join me in thanking and remembering those who have paid the highest price during the #COVID19 pandemic. #NeverForgotten #IWMD20

1/2. DDOT are still accepting donations for the #NightwearBeforeChristmas appeal. Due 2 the ongoing COVID restrictions South Tyneside and Sunderland NHS Foundation Trust the decision has been made 2 only accept postal donations from outside of the Trust. Staff working on site can drop items off DDOT/The Alexandra Centre.

This is a result of many years of hard work and commitment from our teams and we're looking forward to our #SouthTyneside District Hospital site reaching the same Level 7 HIMSS quality standard as soon as possible 🌟 #GlobalDigitalExemplar

🚨If you are over 80, live in Sunderland and haven't had or been contacted to have the 1st dose of COVID vaccine please contact your GP for an appointment. If you're not in this category, it's important that you continue to wait to be contacted. Please do not contact your GP🚨

Update and Good News. We start to vaccinate again this weekend across all 6 PCNs in Sunderland having received further vaccine supplies. All care home residents have been vaccinated and we have started our housebound patients. If you're 70-79 be ready, you'll be contacted soon.

This week,Sunderland PCNs will reach a key milestone in vaccination uptake. On track to vaccinate our top 4 priority cohorts by end of week. PCNs have got the capacity and the capability to vaccinate at a more rapid pace but we appreciate that vaccine supply remains an issue.

Lesley Young and everyone at the AE SUnderland , sorry you can’t be here. Lots of love and admiration #Sunderland
