Today has felt tough, not really sure why. Is the 5 weeks of adrenaline in #Covid_19 wearing off, are homeschooling & new normal sinking in? I've kept coming back to these #wisewords today.

🌳 Acceptance
🎶 Find your rhythm
👨‍👩‍👧‍👧 Tribe
🤣 Humour

Thread1/5
🌳Acceptance: we're in this for a long, hard slog, life has changed, so when it does get you down don't be surprised. Concentrate on those things you can control & affect and take joy in these.

Thread 2/5
🎶Find your rhythm: exercise, time with family, walking in the fresh air, just sitting and doing nothing. Be strict with yourself in the ‘off time’ to resist the gravitational pull of your workstation. Otherwise we will #burnout.

#primarycare teams working through same issues around #COVID19:

😷PPE
💊Antibiotics
🛡️Contacting shielding & vulnerable patients
❤️Conversations for treatment escalation
🩺Patients not accessing care when they need it

Some of my best picks for the week ahead

Thread 1/10
PPE @PHE_uk @AoMRC:
Where sustained transmission of #COVID19 & contact with patient not currently possible/confirmed it’s 🧤apron, fluid resistant mask & eye protection. So, for all face to face contacts.

More details & updates 👇

Thread 2/10
@NICEComms guidance on differentiating viral #COVID19 pneumonia from bacterial pneumonia. History is key.

Don't offer abx treatment/prevention of pneumonia if #COVID19 likely cause & mild symptoms

If abx needed, 1st choice doxycycline
Do not routinely use dual abx
