🔓In the UK @NHS, ethnicity, but not socio-economic status, was associated with an increased risk of postoperative complications in children having surgery for acute appendicitis.

The media focuses on white skinned people. Children with darker skin are at higher risk from health inequalities partly due to poor health messaging. #ScarletFever

Scarlet fever is getting a lot of media attention at the moment, because of an increased number of cases and sporadic antibiotic shortages. I know parents are worrying. So, here's another set of photos of what it looks like on darker skin.

I looked at London Covid admissions today & they made me cry.
We've been admitting a medium sized hospital worth of Covid patients EVERY day for 3 weeks.
KCL hospital is one of London's largest at 950 beds.
On 6th Jan we admitted 977 Covid patients.
What have we done?

Our latest statement on #intensivecare staffing, bed occupancy & capacity to support those reporting ICU data across the UK.
It also provides the media with a better understanding of what the data means to help make their reports on ICU beds clearer.

Really important message in this photo and caption as we prepare for second surge
Anaesthetists can help in ICU and we can give anaesthetics
But only one thing at a time

A really great ICU nurse I know has lost his wife to COVID-19. She leaves behind 2 daughters. 😥
My heart goes out to Joel and his daughters at this difficult time. Please consider a small donation to help the family out. gofundme.com/f/jennie-sablay…

It’s frustrating the media only focus on the no of Drs who have sadly died due to COVID19. There must be many nurses who have similarly suffered. ICU nurses don’t get the recognition they deserve. They are the true foot soldiers in this battle, without them us docs would be lost.

To explain our rationale...
COVID-19 seems to present as 2 phenotypes: initially high compliance with poor V/Q match and low recruitability, ‘dry’ lungs; versus subsequent low compliance, ‘wet’ lungs, potentially recruitable.

I have changed from being a consultant thoracic surgeon to an ICU Nurse to help with the intense pressures on our ICU now. If like me you are in the NHS but working less to free up space for COVID patients, can I encourage you to #put-in-a-shift in your ICU to help them out !
