Yesterday we entered the Delay phase of our #COVID_19uk Action Plan. @UKScienceChief explained why this is important.

It allows us to #FlattenTheCurve, which means reducing the impact in the short-term to ensure our health & care system can effectively protect vulnerable people
Anybody that has a new continuous cough or a high temperature should stay at home for seven days.

Here’s why 👇
Schools will remain open for now.

The effect of closing schools is somewhat limited for this disease.

Closing schools may also have the effect of children going to stay with grandparents at a time when older people might be most vulnerable.

We know that everyone has lots of questions about #coronavirus.

Here’s a thread with more detail 🔽
We have confirmed 2 cases of coronavirus in England.

They have been transferred to a specialist infection unit in Newcastle where they are being cared for.

Risk to the public has not changed as a result.
We’ll continue to be posting updated testing figures at 2pm each day.

I remember when @UKLabour championed the cause of single sex wards in #NHS hospitals -it wasn’t controversial in the labour movement
But now, in 2020, we have a candidate in the #LabourLeadershipElection saying single sex spaces, as allowed in law, should be abolished
reporting of breaches to same-sex accommodation guidance became mandatory
The guidance said; “Providers of NHS-funded care are expected to have a zero-tolerance approach to mixed-sex accommodation, except where it is in the overall best interest of all patients affected”
Everyone agreed and there were financial penalties applied to to breaches

@HackneyAbbott Back last year in Autumn @sajidjavid allowed the NHS to prescribe medicinal cannabis, since then there has been 18 NHS prescriptions out of 1.4M "Illegal" users.

Do you understand how big this issue is and will you act upon this within the first 100 days?
@HackneyAbbott @sajidjavid A Freedom of Information request also shows that 104 private prescriptions have been handed out since last November, according to the NHS Business Services Authority (NHSBSA), which processes over 1 billion prescription items every year.

SO....a short thread on #NHS, health and my recent adventures:

I get my annual check up in India even though I live in Britain. My experience hasn't been great (neither is that of many migrants I know).
Obviously I have to rely on the NHS for emergencies (which we've needed once in the past 15 years). And yeah, I am one of those migrants who are is demonised for 'burdening' the NHS even though I pay for it and have used it less than a dozen times.
A couple of years ago, my GP in India asked for some blood tests. Nothing special: cholesterol, liver function, normal annual check up stuff.

One of the indicators was slightly off. Nothing terrible but one that needed monitoring so he suggested another test in six months

Online access to my GP records - what an exciting concept. Let's see how it works. #NHS #digitalhealth
So according to the NHS info, all I have to do is pop down to my GP surgery and get them to generate a username and password for me. I did that, and it was a quick process to get the info. nhs.uk/using-the-nhs/…
So this is the menu after I logged in. Some options are unavailable for some reason (greyed out) - looks like I can't view my full patient record

Now reading the the #TopolReview report - Preparing the healthcare workforce to deliver the digital future. It's an illuminating read topol.hee.nhs.uk #DigitalHealth
It's clear that a lot of effort has gone into the #TopolReview - it paints a glorious vision of what healthcare would look like over the next 20 years (for both staff and patients) - enabled by technology such as #genomics, #AI and #robotics
For me the #Topolreview has too narrow a focus. It's been commissioned by healthcare, yet we know that with an aging population, many people with long term conditions have to rely upon #socialcare as well. We need joined up thinking, imho.
