A mentor is not someone who walks ahead of us and tells us how they did it. A mentor is someone who walks alongside us to guide us on what we can do.

Sadly we have had to transfer 2 more pregnant mothers with Covid to a general hospital this weekend for ventilation and ICU care. Both patients were unvaccinated. It doesn’t have to be this way - please get vaccinated

Brilliant day of outreaching for the walk-in vaccination clinic in The Rock Centre at Lawrence Weston this Saturday. You’ll be able to get the flu vaccine as well as the 1st, 2nd and boosters for over 40s on Saturday 20 Nov from 10am til 6pm. #GetVaxxed #vaccinationsaveslives

We always try our best to be there for the people of Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, but messages like this, really affect our teams morale. We are sorry the helicopter wakes people up at night, but it is not our intention to disrupt your evening, but rather save someone's life.

1714 pregnant women so sick with Covid they needed hospital care. 27 had had one dose, 7 had 2 doses. 235 needed intensive care, 1 had 1 dose. None had 2 doses. Get a vaccine!

Whatever you think of the way GOV.UK has handled plan B let me tell you this. I’m on a vaccinator WhatsApp group, in which local nurses, doctors and others are signing away our weekend to ensure people can get boosted. Book. Turn up. We’ll jab you. @BNSSG_CCG #Booster #COVID19

This week has undoubtedly been one of the most challenging of the vaccination programme so far. I am amazed and privileged to work alongside some of the most dedicated teams determined to do the best we possibly can. One Care UWE Bristol Annie Powell💙 Healthier Together Jo Howarth

I love this publication. Think it captures the story of the vaccination centre at Ashton Gate Stadium perfectly. Thank you @WEAHSN

I see CQUIN guidance has been published for 22/23 NHS England. Really? We still think financial incentives are the way to improve quality? Seems to run counter to our learning from the last 2 years. How does this square with the establishment of ICS's? england.nhs.uk/wp-content/upl…

Couldn’t agree more. Learning from local vaccination programmes that will support ICS development in many ways including system collaboration and innovate ways of addressing health inequalities. We can’t just revert back to old ways of working @BNSSG_CCG Healthier Together Annie Powell💙

Our systemwide #COVID19 Virtual Ward meeting was depressing today. We’re struggling to plan for the imminent wave as essentially flying blind. Testing has dropped off and the fantastic data/intelligence we’ve had for 2yrs gone. How do we identify those who need monitoring?

Emma Adams That is a really nice short piece. This is so true... ".. to deliver improvement it is not enough to have a good grasp of how to apply quality improvement approaches and tools. Good relational skills matter just as much, if not more..."

It’s over. Any control over Covid we had is over. Duty doctor today. I’ve lost count of the number of patients I’ve seen with classic Covid symptoms NOT A SINGLE PERSON has isolated or done a PCR test. Everyone’s mixing & infecting each other. There is no control. It’s over.
