Terminology and language is so important in medicine. I get so cross when practitioners including OTs, speak about 'the amputee in bed 4', or 'the difficult patient in bed 6'. Don't define people by their illness, and patients are not difficult, they are anxious, distressed. 💚

Just take one moment to watch this. Utterly heartbreaking 💔

Here is how you imagine the 150k lives lost to Covid.
It’s just taken me 10 mins to walk the half kilometre length of the national @CovidMemorialUK wall, directly opposite parliament.
Each heart represents one of those 150k lost, those families changed forever.
Please share 💔

At last! Evidence that continuity of Consultant is good for patients, training, reducing length of stay and complaints and improving discharge planning. Superb work! @TheKingsFund @DrLKVaughan @somersetwyvern rcpjournals.org/content/futu…
