Thank you for the recommending me @CheyneWalkClub @SollusHealth. If you would like some help @RevRichardColes I’d be very pleased to help. From your tweet I already have an idea as to what the problem is. Probably best to DM or speak on the phone
Thank you for the mention @CheyneWalkClub and @MarkCoster It's great to be mentioned in the same sentence as @upper_limb and I would probably try him first tbh 🤔😳
As a trust could @NGHnhstrust and @KettGeneral recycle face masks? @simonweldonceo @NGH_IPC @LeeTayl33450204 @ngh_matt we go through so many and this would be a great initiative to take up... leicestermercury.co.uk/news/…

If you have pain in your thumbs for no reason, or if your pain doesn’t go away after injury, it may be the start of thumb #arthritis.
A top consultant #orthopaedic surgeon, Mr Alistair Jepson (@upper_limb), explains how it can be treated: bit.ly/3uZSaKn.
Very well done @enviromentalist What would really cap it all off would be some electric car charge points, maybe as part of the new grand entrance to @NGHnhstrust - what better time to do it!!

#Covid_19 will heavily impact delivery of elective #surgery globally. In our @BJSurgery paper we project that 28.4 million operations will be cancelled due to #COVID19 related disruption.

I have been wearing these valved FFP3 masks since the start of COVID...looks like I might have to switch to the other design
THIS IS REALLY WORRYING
FFP3 masks with exhalation valves (like ones below I have tweeted about) can transmit coronavirus from asymptomatic healthcare workers to patients
See statement issued jointly by @BAOMSOfficial @BAOMS_Chair @ENT_UK @BAOS_UK

I like and admire the concept but if there was a workable design then I suspect someone would have come up with it by now!
This is a lovely film @BFI reflecting the #nhs so well and one we as hand surgeons know only too well @BSSHand
I cried as I watched Michael Rosen's 'These are the Hands' a Fund-raising ad for NHS Charities Together: from @BFI and @evcomur How the NHS has cared for us for 70 yrs.
The most emotional 1 minute 50 second film I have ever seen! DON"T MISS IT - massive!:

Scandalous @MattHancock @DHSCgovuk - Inquests into NHS staff coronavirus deaths told not to look at PPE shortages theguardian.com/society/2020…
Progress finally! Coronavirus: Military to test key workers in mobile units bbc.co.uk/news/health-524285…
The spare capacity needs to be used! @telegraph we need regional assessment/testing centres that the public can access locally like in New Zealand telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/04…

Why have we not heard anything yet @MattHancock about community assessment centres in UK for #Covid_19 testing especially as there is available testing capability? My friend & medical colleague @drjoevb in New Zealand is leading on this in his district i.stuff.co.nz/bay-of-plenty/…
Hope he truly can get the proper rest he needs. The staff @NGHnhstrust all appreciate the work he is doing
My husband has worked 28 days straight for the NHS & this weekend he is giving himself a much deserved break - my NHS Hero, my husband, my best friend @aarivans @NGHnhstrust #NHSheros ❤️🦸🏻♂️🌈
You two are superstars - I think we should count you both in a #NHSheroes
Doing our bit to help, delivering hundreds of face masks with @JeffSmithBTCC to our local care homes, surgeries, pharmacies, nurses, carers and ambulance crews this weekend ❤️ #Thankyouheroes
Well done #teamngh especially my Intensive Care colleagues who have been working relentlessly to train and plan for #covid
Wow thank you @NorthantsPolice Filming this I had tears in my eyes.
To our NGH team, our NHS and all of the other amazing key workers- thank you, thank you, thank you 💙
#ClapForOurCarers #NHS #TeamNGH #Northampton
Your hard work is very much appreciated Allan by the ‘troops’ @NGHnhstrust
In all the madness and pressure at work, how nice it is to spend some quality time with @UKjayriv thanks for being there x
Bravo! Thank you for contributing to the #COVIDー19 effort. We all love gin, especially yours, but hand gel is sadly a priority.
