- Big thanks to one of our Non-Executive Directors, @ProfKarolSikora in sharing his thoughts with the leadership team today
- It’s difficult to describe just how exhausting, stressful and draining it is nursing through a pandemic. The sacrifices made are extraordinary We have a responsibility when this is all done never to let people forget just what our friends & colleagues did
- Really important award for Beth, one of our nursery nurses, for her life saving intervention in spotting an incredibly rare condition in a new born baby 🤩
- In the middle of all this, @BucksRadiology have installed one of the country’s newest and most advanced MRI scanners - with big thanks to our friends @scannappeal
- First met Praveen 6wks ago in ICU, 3 days after he came off a ventilator. 123 days since his admission, today he is going home and seeing family for the first time. The road of recovery from covid-19 is long and difficult - am so delighted to be able to wish him well (pt cstd)
- My dog can’t even find his biscuits 🤯Really exciting findings out today from @MedDetectDogs which show their dogs can detect the most aggressive forms of prostate cancer with high specificity & sensitivity. It's significant as early diagnosis is so important. The dogs Midas and Florin deserve a treat!
- I’m starting to think that milk conflict is one of the NHS’s greatest workforce challenges
- The haematology heroes - moved an entire ward in 4 days onto the BMI site 12 miles away to keep cancer patients safe through corona virus - awesome work
- Dealing with a respiratory virus requires an awesome respiratory team - these guys working hard 24/7 👍
- Important messages from the cardiac, ICU & surgical teams this morning #WeAreOpen #KeepYourAppt Mood on the wards - understandably worried, but incredibly stoical. Real sense of the need to look after each other #OneTeam #WeveGotThis
- Look who’s back! Delighted to have Hector finally home - 16 days later, minus about 5kg and half his digestive system. Still hungry though 🤔 Huge thanks to the wonderful people at @theRCVS who did such an amazing job - and everyone who got in touch to check how he was 😍
- Couldn’t be prouder to be leading @BucksHealthcare Delighted that the @CareQualityComm have recognised the next step in our improvement journey. To our staff, volunteers, charities and partners - you are amazing, thank you
