One intensive care doctor will be allocated to 42 patients at Nightingale Hospital, where draft plans suggest up to a fifth of patients may not survive
Nurses working at @NightingaleLDN may be asked to carry out “unfamiliar” tasks such as safety checks of equipment incl ventilators and nasogastric tubes; clinical assessments; administering medications via infusions; using a double pump system; responding to ventilator alarms
There are “significant challenges” with transferring patients to the @NightingaleLDN site with around 60 extra ambulances needed to move critical care patients.

Blue lighting a critical care patient is a high-risk activity needing a specialist nurse at least

So here is a select few stories from 2019 worth noting now as we turn the page... First up was this story about dodgy actions by NHSI on Shrewsbury Hospital - we know now why they were so concerned. This 'panel' was abandoned shortly after this story:
In March Tom Kark QC gave me an exclusive interview spelling out why he believed the time had come for stronger regulation of managers in the NHS (This has been an issue a decade in discussing and still no action)
In April the High Court granted the parents of Jonnie Meek a second inquest. This was a major win for them after I first exposed the cover-up in their son's care back in 2015:

Former health secretary @Jeremy_Hunt now speaking at #WorldPatientSafetyDay event. One of his first outings since the Tory leadership campaign.
.@Jeremy_Hunt says he had barely heard of Mid Staffs before he took on the role of health secretary. He says @DavidNichols0n told him 10% of patients are harmed with 150 avoidable deaths a week #WorldPatientSafetyDay
Because death and harm is so common @Jeremy_Hunt questions whether that is why so little is done to improve safety. #WorldPatientSafetyDay

German Society for Anaesthesiology and Intensive Care Medicine reports:

In most German hospitals, Covid 19 patients now have to be cared for in the intensive care units and, in many cases, ventilation is also required.
According to the Intensive Care Medicine Association DGAI, around 100 patients are being admitted to the wards every day. If this trend continues, the reserves created could be used up in three to four weeks, according to the forecasts of the intensive care physicians.
While there are individual ventilated intensive care patients in smaller hospitals, there are often more than 20 in larger clinics and universities. Individual patients have also been cured. They often suffer from acute lung failure that is caused by the corona virus.

State of the art medevac by the German again.

The virus doesn't recognise borders, our response shouldn't either.
European cooperation in times of COVID crisis.
The German Air Force Luftwaffe is transporting in an Airbus A400M 2 French citizens requiring intensive care from Strasbourg 🇫🇷 to the German army hospital in Ulm🇩🇪
The A400M started from Aug 2018 as a flying intensive care unit, as a so-called "Intensive Care Aeromedical Evacuation" ( ICAE). This is available 24 hours a day for medical evacuation. Up to six patients can be medically cared for in the air.

My morning report for the @Guardian coronavirus blog:
French government scientific advisors have recommended a total of six weeks lockdown, a suggestion president Emmanuel Macron and his ministers are considering, but seem reluctant to announce at this moment. (1/8)
France currently carrying out 9,000 tests for the virus every day. Jérôme Salomon, director of the country's health authority has said this will be increased by an additional 10,000 by the end of this week. A further 10,000 tests should be available from machines next week. (2/8)
France has asked all private and public hospitals to join coronavirus battle. This has increased number of intensive care ventilator beds from 5,000 - 8,000. Military hospital sent to Alsace in eastern France now up and running and Macron is planning a visit today. (3/8)

1. Let's go. Spain spokesman still talking only about the possibility of some containment measures in some very specific places. Health Ministry will try to provide data on cured patients from tomorrow, but it will depend, he says, on what they are sent by the regional ministries
2. Will go over the start of the press conference for the overall figure in a minute, but Simón has just announced Madrid is up to 202 Coronavirus cases.
3. Simón says the main concern Spanish government has in the Basque Country is the clusters of Coronavirus infections in hospitals.

Today's article in @TheKenWeb contemplates "what ails" Indian #ECG Companies and concludes "Plenty as it turns out, starting with #healthcare providers themselves."

the-ken.com/story/what-ai-…

I have heard these sort of comments a lot in various flavours from different #HealthIT
What usually happens is a group of highly skilled, honest, hardworking Engineers or Management Graduates #Startups develop a product or service, test it and find it successfull but when they want to market is doctors don't buy
So
They start blaming doctors, directly or indirectly saying that this is a magic solution which will revolutionalise health and save 20 crores people per year, but this dull headed docs are not able to see the potential and / or afraid of technology
