Really looking forward to this week's #DGUM exam at @ApothecariesLDN Wed/Thu. We examiners look forward to supporting trainees, and promise *no* trick questions about how to use this apparatus
All done. Calm, orderly, 3rd #pandemic sitting. I hope our candidates had a positive experience and will visit @ApothecariesLDN again soon

"Prof Sackell" calling @BylineTimes@NafeezAhmed. May I correct you slightly? First my name. Secondly, I signed this letter first drafted by @rwjdingwall - all my requested edits were made before publication.
2/3 There is probably no easier setting for doing an #outbreak investigation than a #choir. @MakingMusic_UK & others have well developed risk assessments. Ask @BarbaraEifler Around 300k people sing weekly - more than football (more women tho....)
1/4 Going to #Sheppey to record a @bbcsoutheast special on how #covid19 has affected the Islans. Which backdrop would you choose? Pics on next tweets

Societal structures - #housing, #essentialworkers#unpaidcare expose people to #Covid19 risk. "Pandemic fatigue" is a convenient myth used to gloss over the real issues. Important blog on an issue now widely reported for...
This is misleading messaging @SwaleCouncil - please delete and re-word. Always, always state *clearly* and early that even with a negative test you can be infectious. This could backfire, and badly. #COVID19
Every test invitation should start with a caution about false negatives. A negative test is *not* a licence to stop social distancing #COVID19@SwaleCouncil.
Sadly not one journalist asked about need to protect every locality#s #NHS#ITU capacity in #cummingspresser. This is why #NoSecondHome#StayHome is important and will continue to be throughout #summerholiday. A very important issue to keep live as #lockdown releases @Fox_Claire this is an important issue and I was sorry it wasn't asked. This hasn't got through and will matter for a long time to come.

When I started working on #scabies outbreaks in #carehomes some of my colleagues thought it was a weird, marginal interest. Now with #COVID19 it's changing. Everyone's realising that infection is a big deal in these #EndOfLife settings. #Carehomes for older people are hard to study. Residents often have #dementia, staff are run off their feet, #consent to research is difficult - brilliant colleagues including @MedVetAcarology sorted this academic.oup.com/phe/article-ab…
