(1/2) We are deeply concerned that recent actions from Government appear to undermine essential public health messaging at this crucial time. It is vital that all in society continue to follow guidance to prevent the spread of COVID-19 and save lives...

This week, I and other @theBMA committee chairs wrote to Trust CEOs across England to urge them to:
- adopt risk scoring tools
- alongside measures to allow staff at risk of serious #COVID19 infection or death to be assigned to less exposure prone duties

Eye specialists & optometrists recommend that UK #motorists follow the DVLA's existing vision test requirements for motoring rather than the novel method recently described by Mr Cummings in a broadcast on Monday from Downing Street.
We will maintain this opinion after Brexit.

It is sad to see that none of Her Majesty’s government has had the generosity of spirit to simply say that they are sorry if there have been healthcare workers who have been left without sufficient PPE to keep them and their patients safe @MattHancock

These pictures show what has been achieved in just two weeks. An astonishing team effort from the NHS, the Army and the contractors 👏👏👏

At the end of Saturday our team has inducted nearly 400 amazing folk for #NHSnightingaleNW - from porters to nurses, caterers to doctors, cleaners to support workers.... Build a hospital in two weeks they said... and here we are! #NHSheroes We open Monday 👍
Anaesthesia & ITU are areas of hospital medical care most under stress in the current Covid pandemic. These doctors are in difficult working conditions.
We thank them sincerely and hope they are getting correct PPE, pay & rest.
Handclapping at 20:00 hours helps, a bit, only
“The identity of a dual trainee in anaesthesia and intensive care can at times feel quite conflicted. It can feel like trying to please two parents who are sometimes not exactly experiencing marital bliss.”

.@TheBMA It's looking like a perfect storm, as this #winter it is likely fewer NHS senior doctors may be willing to undertake extra NHS clinical shifts due to (of all things) pension tax changes!

Today's #SupremeCourt ruling on #prorogation signals more political upheaval to come. Our position is clear: #Brexit is bad for health, bad for patients and bad for the NHS bma.org.uk/collective-voice/…
