🚨At #CovidInquiry #LongCovid is spotlighted by many, including by the BMA: “In the words of a Resident Doctor: I caught #Covid in March 2020… These were supposed to be the best years of my life but I’m spending them alone, in bed, feeling like I’m dying almost all the time”

We are incredibly proud to have worked on this project. Exciting day. Hopefully it's contents will be taken on board! #LongCovid #CovidIsNotOver #LongCovidKids Long Covid Kids - #LongCovidKids Long Covid SOS Long Covid Support 🌍

"The preventable failures that led to harrowing experiences for staff and patients cannot be allowed to happen again." Today we have given our opening statement at the Covid-19 inquiry on the impact of the pandemic on healthcare systems across the UK.   bma.org.uk/advice-and-sup…

The disastrous IPC policy being quite rightly called out here. ‘Lives could have been saved’. In 2024, we *still* don’t have an NHS IPC policy mandating FFP3 masks when nursing COVID positive patients. Still surgical masks. Still inadequate. Still putting staff at risk.

Long Covid Support 🌍 Long Covid SOS Long COVID Physio Long Covid Kids - #LongCovidKids Bhatt Murphy This is so sad. So many of our healthcare workers have been impacted by the pandemic, which has left a lasting effect on their mental health, as well as their physical health for those with long covid. We want to support anyone we can.

💔 At #CovidInquiry John Sullivan describes what he went through when daughter Susan, who had Down Syndrome, died in hospital with #COVID19. Heartbreaking but powerful testimony: “I just hope when the next pandemic comes along disabled people are treated with a bit more respect”

We’re not mitigating Covid at all now. Why not Andrew Gwynne MP? Layla Moran 🔶🕊️ Adrian Ramsay #CovidInquiry

Sadly, I look after too many now bedbound Doctors. Talented individuals in the prime of their lives, cut down by long Covid, days spent alone& feeling like they are dying, careers gone Now ignored by society. Any is too many when FFP3&ventilation exist ‘We knew it was unsafe’
