Our patients might find themselves admitted during the current situation. You may advise them to prepare a ‘Grab Bag’ of essential items in case they need to go into hospital. Here’s a basic list of items. #StaySafe #SaveLives #ThankYouNHS
Please read 👇to understand how much work is currently being done in the Regional Virology Lab to support the response to Coronavirus. Thank you to @ConallMcCaughey @Sultanyacurrant incredible effort. hoping to help when other Trusts come on line next week. @NiPathology
Lots of people asking why the labs aren’t testing more for #COVID19 This thread 👇 explains how long it takes & remember these tests didn’t exist a few months back😳. It’s not like doing a U&E (a minor but quick test I’m told 😎).

Brilliant. Can we share and gave these businesses the airtime these gestures deserve; at the risk that 'Damian' aged 50 odd from 30 miles away rings for his dinner! Other chancers are available! @mlchealth @mickfealty @PaulConnollyNI @SJAMcBride
Sometimes I despair at this country ( #NI )but then I see something like this on #Facebook & think beyond all the awful politics there are some amazing people here. Well done ⁦@portaferryhotel⁩ #COVIDー19

Just arrived at the really rather lovely Telford International Centre for the @UKONSmember #UKONS2019 conference. #Sepsis Is a condition which cancer and cancer therapy places patients at significant risk of, as always communication and awareness are key.
#influenza def seems to be kicking off in Northern Ireland over last few days with an upsurge in positive lab results. Flu A H3
