Today we’re announcing six projects we’re funding with Department of Health and Social Care and @NIHRResearch in the first round of our #Covid19 rapid response call. They include a trial for a promising new vaccine, three projects looking for therapies and studying patients to answer urgent questions.

Another 7 days without action. Disgraceful Rishi Sunak Matt Hancock Critical healthcare staff forced out of the pension scheme by broken taxes MUST not receive inferior death-in-service / ill health terms. Fix NOW (or immediately scrap the broken pension taxes) RT if you agree

In my 7 days on one of our (now 12!) non ICU #COVID19 units, I admitted 58 patients for COVID rule out, of whom 50 tested positive. Two died (DNR), 2 went to hospice, and 5 went to the ICU. That is… not my typical gen med service week. Following, some clinical observations.

Well done @RomaanaMir Sarah Kelly !! Great work!

I guess I didn’t quite grasp this concept ignorantly. Now re-educated!

The research achievements of the clinical oncology community are extraordinary. How do we nurture the next generation of research-active clin oncs to ensure these are sustained? Some thoughts from @katiespencer72 and I out in Clin Onc today. Do you agree? clinicaloncologyonline.net/article/S0936-…
