Following a rise in the number of patients with COVID-19 we're taking the difficult decision that from today we're asking all patients, visitors and colleagues to wear a face mask inside all of our NHS buildings, including clinical areas and non-clinical areas such as corridors.
Coleridge Ward @SomersetFT has an exciting opportunity for a new Band 6 leader to join our team. If you are enthusiastic, innovative and driven to provide outstanding care on our acute respiratory ward we would love to hear from you @PhillipsJackee beta.jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/j… – at Taunton, England

I got in a strop about these new mask towers + wrote rude emails. In fact they’ve been tested. They work. I just need to slow down. Put my stuff on the table provided. Gel. Take mask carefully. Gel. Pick up stuff. Have a little Zen moment each morning. Sorry, IP&C team. 😳🙏

We've now handed out more than 1000 wearable tech wristbands to help safeguard people living with #dementia. There are still plenty of wristbands available to the public and care homes, free of charge thanks to charitable funding. Learn more here: ow.ly/ysOZ50FJ9do

This really worries me @BBCNews @NicolaSturgeon …’close contacts of those who test positive for Covid will no longer have to self-isolate - as long as they are fully vaccinated and test negative’. Testing too soon after exposure may give false confidence. This is such a gamble! – at London, England

Please remember that whilst restrictions may be lifting in England tomorrow, there are #NoChanges in our #HealthCareSettings. Please continue to: 😷 Wear your mask 👏 Wash your hands ↔️ Maintain 2m distancing Support ventilation (open windows) #COVID19 #HandsFaceSpace
All of our services continue to face pressures and high demand - please support us by continuing to follow infection control guidance when visiting any of our sites in Somerset. By doing this, we can safely care for those that need us most. Thank you.
Today we have moved to STEP 4️⃣ of the roadmap out of lockdown. This means: 👪No legal limit on social contact 👰 No legal limit on life events 🥂 Remaining businesses can open Check out this week's Covid Catch up where Clinton discusses this in detail: youtu.be/YsXALfkSxcI

Thank you @LecturerMish for your #RCOT2021 session on allyship. Important message. Allyship is continual. You cannot turn it off. Humanity and dignity = non negotiables. Our words and actions have the power to crush or uplift others.
