NHS staff have had an awful lot of abuse for speaking up about the benefits of vaccines, many had gone quiet as a result. But this week they have been speaking up in their droves.
Because vaccines save lives.
Still unconvinced? If you won’t listen to us, listen to them 🧵👇🏻

@daniellebelcher is our final year medical student from @KingsCollegeLon on an attachment with us @htmc0. Today she is leading a training session with our practice staff and management team @griffglen @htmcppg @WHIS2020 
She starts by introducing the challenges are for receptionists - can be described as “bouncers” for GP surgeries. But this is not true. We are not nightclubs and have an important role to help patients and staff
She describes #EngageConsult for the staff so that they can see how they can send a message to a patient inviting them to complete an #InstantMedicalHistory. #EngageConsult links directly with #EMISWeb to automatically send a message @rosills
How complicit has NHS Leadership been in Johnson’s pandemic calamities? And have lessons been learned?
There is a long list of failures:
▪️Ageist policies
▪️Blanket Do Not Resuscitate orders
▪️Inadequate PPE
▪️Ethnic disparities on the frontline

▪️No Triage
▪️No clinical follow-up
▪️The ‘Stay Home’ messaging
▪️Ineffectual Contact and Trace
▪️Circumventing primary care
▪️Rationing of access to healthcare via ‘111’.
▪️Oxygen rationing
▪️Shrinking the NHS during a pandemic

And these failures, while still remediable, continue to place HCWs in unsafe and traumatic working conditions, and are still leading to unsafe care provision for the British public.
Raising concerns about patient safety
Where problems with care seem national, those of us actually delivering care can feel quite helpless to change it. Take the government’s pandemic policy...

We on the frontline are also victims, collateral damage, of ill-conceived healthcare policies.
But the GMC guidelines, while adding yet another responsibility on our shoulders, also provides the encouragement and compulsion to speak out.

Putting aside whether it will work or whether a Health Immunity Strategy (HIS) is ethically right...
What will be the CLINICAL harm to the UK public of allowing SARS-CoV-2 to spread without any mitigation strategies?

We know access to healthcare during a pandemic saves lives and prevents disability.
We know the greatest barrier to a "catastrophic loss of life" with HIS is healthcare availability @wtgowers @ChrisCEOHopson

Very moving thread @HZiauddeen, thank you 🙏🏻 for taking the time write it.
One of the reasons many of us are feeling so despairing of current govt “policy” is exactly as you highlight - we are just expected to “get on with it”, as if our feelings of moral injury don’t count.

Unnecessary human suffering, avoidable harm, preventable death & chronic disease….just because we may have seen it before doesn’t mean we’ll be able cope when it becomes our “new daily normal”.
There will be a tipping point.
Some have already reached it, others are close!

We don’t appear to be more than a passing consideration in @10DowningStreet discussions on preventing the #NHS “being overwhelmed” & we’re still expected to wear an inadequate level of #PPE for the daily Russian roulette wheel of working w/ known or suspected #COVID patients,
