I will be walking a lap of the @RDEhospitals in memory of Captain Sir Tom on the day of his funeral and encouraging my colleagues to do the same (socially distanced). I hope we can all remember a man who was a hero to the NHS heros. #RDEwalkfortom

Due to increased cases of flu in the hospital please do not visit unless absolutely necessary. If you think you have flu and require medical advice, please contact NHS 111 and only attend the hospital if advised or if it is an emergency
Flu is very infectious and can easily spread to other people. If you have any flu-like symptoms, please avoid visiting anyone in hospital or people who have more vulnerable immune systems (e.g. babies and the elderly)

@ComfortExeter Amazing new charity supporting our most vulnerable & homeless who come into A&E. xitter.cf/josielevay/status/9746…
One of the Role Model features I wrote during my time at @NursingTimes - an interview with the lovely Jen Turner-Steel, the nurse behind a campaign to give vulnerable people a morale boost at @RDEhospitals #homelessness #nursing nursingtimes.net/opinion/rol…

Please support this new campaign at RD&E for the vulnerable and people in our society. @DC_Police @DC_PCC let's improve patient care and the small gesture of a clothing bag can go along way for those in need. xitter.cf/comfortexeter/status/9…
