My colleague, my friend Nicola-a scrub nurse took her own life last week

She scrubbed for me in OT earlier this month

She was such a bubbly personality- no one had any idea what was going on in her mind

Its a fact we (doctors,nurses & other HCWs) are hesitant to seek help

1/4
Pandemic has affected ALL including us ie health care workers

as drs,nurses its our passion,infact duty to help others but please remember we can only help others if we are ourselves OK

take time out for yourselves

seek help if you r struggling

@TheBMA 24/7 line👇

May I request authors of #SewellReport who have claimed #NHS as a success story in race issues to read this thread

Recent survey of Primary in Humberside region shows very disturbing findings discrimination in NHS of 2021 /1

@rcgp @KailashChandOBE @CNagpaul @riddell_marcus
Is it acceptable that in #NHS of 2021 ability to train in ones chosen career is affected by ones ethnicity, culture and #racism #discrimination ? /2

@rcpsglasgow @RCPLondon @rcpsych @RCOphthPres @terry_moran1 @AntonEmmanuel2 @Prerana_Issar @MichaelMarmot @NHS_RobW @NHS_RHO
How can we allow🤔 in 2021 a trainee to be told by a senior trainer

'we do not accept people who are not from around here' /3

1-Virus spreads through air especially indoor in areas of low ventialtion
Have a look at this thread if you want to know how you can check if ventialtion in an area is adequate.
Its really easy!

@CNagpaul @helenamckeown @KailashChandOBE @sarahedderwick @anilkjain61 @doctorshaib
2-Every time you exhale CO2 is exhaled in air. You can use CO2 levels to see if room is filling with potentially infectious exhalations
CO2 level lets you estimate if enough fresh outside air is getting in

@raj_psyc @docjon55 @petermbenglish @NikkiKF @drpshukla @TheBAMEGP
3-Last year in Taiwan tuberculosis outbreak at Taipei University was found out to be due to underventilated rooms. Rooms had CO2 levels⬇️3000 ppm.When air circulation was improved with CO2 levels⬇️600 ppm outbreak completely stopped

1-@parthaskar thankyou for raising this. May I first share some evidence & than I will try to address what @TheBMA is doing in this regard

@CNagpaul @dr_emmacoombe @DrOKaneAgain @anilkjain61 @helenamckeown @drhfidler @smileywalshey @DrAnneCarson @blmdh1 @YorksHumberBMA
2- I did a survey of 1071 BAME doctors in June 👇.

itv.com/news/calendar/…

Results of the survey showed very worrying findings

It does appear that IMG & BAME doctors who studied medicine in UK Universities face similar challenges in NHS
@drpshukla @terry_moran1 @Prerana_Issar
3- BAME NHS doctors when asked if they ever felt pressurised to work without adequate PPE

UK Uni BAME drs 60% said YES
IMG BAME drs 64% said YES

1-Heard about another colleague ending up in ICU today

626 HCWs deaths & we still haven't learnt our lesson

HCWs must now have appropriate PPE against airborne transmission

Please find time to see the videos in this thread&please spread the message

@CNagpaul @KailashChandOBE
2- Saw a webinar by Prof Donald Milton (a world authority on aerosols) of Institute for Applied Environmental Health Maryland

1- Please read this thread if you want to know what must be done to protect health care workers who are taking care of all of us during this Pandemic

@CNagpaul @helenamckeown @DavidGWrigley @terry_moran1 @NHS_RobW @TheBMA @TheDA_UK @Muslimdoctors @drneilpease @JeremyFarrar
2- Remember 625 HCWs lost their lives during the first wave - highest rate among developed countries

3- Remember disproportionate effect of COVID-19 on BAME HCWs&slowness of NHSorganisations in taking practical risk mitigating steps to protect them
