Excellent article with some fantastic people.

I've had the most eye-opening access to the hospital in Coventry where I was born. Here's my piece on the #NHS heroes who are fighting Coronavirus and saving lives. Huge thanks to all @nhsuhcw theguardian.com/world/2020/apr…

Absolutely astonishing. Yet you said you’d do everything to protect us, @MattHancock?

The UK is not participating in EU procurement schemes to buy ventilators, protective gear for hospital staff or coronavirus testing kit. Confirmed by UK and EU sources.

This has been a really tough day. It's been a long time since I have shed so many tears at work. Sadly, I know it is going to get tougher. Please stay safe and keep looking after each other. ❤

We're urging people to take extra care to avoid gardening accidents & injuries that could place unnecessary pressure on the NHS An increase in use of power tools, lawn mowers & hedge trimmers could lead to a rise in injuries, putting strain on our overburdened health service

Feeling for those who don't live in a country with NHS. Imagine having no NHS, and no health insurance, and being American right now. #Coronavid19

This morning I asked junior surgical doctors to go and work in intensive care for foreseeable future. They are all scared for their families and themselves. Not one said no. Very grateful to work with such courageous people. @MattHancock @uhcw

So society’s *real* key workers have just been revealed. Not the bankers. Not the traders. Not the elite hedge fund managers. It’s the nurses. The doctors. The delivery drivers. The carers. The porters. The teachers. The shelf stackers. The check out staff. #COVID19

There we have it. @Nigel_Farage calls today for private health firms “to relieve the burden” of the NHS. A vote for his “Brexit party” (which is actually a private company) is a vote against the NHS. For Farage, it’s private capital every time. theguardian.com/politics/2019/…

Imagine being well enough to drive around the country looking for the quietest A&E, yet somehow still being sick enough to need to go to A&E 🤔

An app that can help patients find the shortest A&E queue & help relieve pressure on A&E staff. Good for patients, good for clinicians. Another step forward in the NHS tech revolution thetimes.co.uk/article/57690a…
