I would really appreciate it if anyone working in sleep & ventilation and #respiratory in the #NHS could fill this survey out- it’s on correct NIV & CPAP inpatient documentation. It will only take 5mins to fill out. Thanks in advance #respisbest surveymonkey.com/r/KCBQBWC

I found a child’s violin in the back of a Zipcar in south London yesterday. The customer care people didn’t seem all that concerned so I took it home. I would love to reunite it with its owner if I can. The name tag says Isobel Lopez. Can Twitter help? Please share! #lostviolin
