1/ #PrimeMinister & #HealthSecretary,
I just want to clarify how I can keep myself & my family safe from the #COVID19 surge in cases in our area?
I live & work in Newcastle, where cases are now well > 800 per 100,000, a real #COVIDHotSpot!

2/ How do you suggest advice to âproceed with cautionâ & âremain vigilantâ will stop my #NHS colleagues & I from succumbing to #COVID19 as frontline HCWs regularly exposed to #coronavirus, now that đˇs are OPTIONAL in many places & virtually all restrictions will end in 7/7?
3/ Which exact bit of your roadmap/unlocking is still âfollowing the scienceâ?
The science that quite clearly says the best way to protect both health AND the economy PLUS prevent new #covidvariants arising is to KEEP COMMUNITY TRANSMISSION & CASES LOW?

It really feels like we're in the grip of #NHSdataFEVER...
What's going on?
In last few weeks:
#GPDPR - a huge change in how data that your GP saves in your personal GP record gets shared with the Government. The #DPIA (Data Privacy Impact Assessment) still awaited

#TIGRR - a bonkers, breathless AI-centric libertarian wish-list of data deregulation including abolition of some Articles from our own #GDPR laws (NOT EU law, it's UK law)
Tomorrow there will be a new NHS Data Strategy - which conflates many different uses of data to try to send a ALL DATA GOOD MOAR PLEASE message without any real clarity of thought.
As a cancer specialist I think itâs important to respond to the #HealthSecretaryâs comments about cancer treatment not being available if #COVID19 gets out of control. Firstly, itâs important to state that #Hancock and his own Governmentâs failures have contributed to the problem
Secondly, I think itâs unlikely that those in most need will miss out. We have learnt an enormous amount about managing cancer in a #COVID19 environment and are now much better prepared. At present we are managing generally very well, although surgical waiting lists are a problem
Non surgical cancer treatment like chemotherapy and radiotherapy is mainly outpatient based and we should be able to cope. Initial concerns about risks to patients on chemo have not turned out to be as serious as we first thought.
