New expert guidelines help doctors assess & treat #LongCovid, offering practical tips for managing symptoms like fatigue, brain fog, & breathlessness. Team-based care is key to supporting patient recovery. #COVID19. I like the differential diagnosis.

1 in 4 nurses in the UK currently have long covid symptoms. Make it make sense.
Every year, tens of thousands of people go to the hospital for help — and end up catching infections that cost them their lives.
We have the tools that could stop so much of that pain and loss.
It's time to talk about why we need permanent mask mandates in healthcare

Imagine walking into a hospital — a place meant for healing — and leaving sicker than when you came in.
That's what happens when we don't protect the air we breathe.
It's time for permanent mask mandates in healthcare.

In his 2020 message to #nurses #PopeFrancis referred to them as “guardians of life” and connected caring for each other with caring for the planet “our common home”. Care and compassion have never been more needed or important to our world. RIP

It’s not being taken seriously and is accepted practice when in fact it’s shamefully dangerous.

UK friends, there's a petition that I'd really like to see supported so that it gets discussed in Parliament.
It demands better air quality & PPE standards in health & social care.
It would help every one of us but needs more signatures before May 11th.

Nobody should be more unsafe when seeking healthcare or receiving social care.
It is really important to everyone - even if you have signed it, please pass to family, friends, work colleagues etc because the signatures can really quickly add up - but people need to know.

I had two appointments in healthcare settings this morning. The first was my annual diabetic check at the GP surgery. The HCA had a window open but the CO2 reading was 1569.
