Good chat today with @Brianmckinstry @mgtwhoriskey @MoragHearty @carrie_stephex @DrLauraMoo about how we make best use of @NHSConnectMe Covid self management pathway. Lots of recognition of the support we have from @NERVs2016, delivering oximeter packs to @NHSGrampian patients

Given the circumstances I'm granting an MOT temporary exemption so that if your MOT is due from 30th March 2020 you will automatically receive a SIX-month extension. However, you must still keep your car in a roadworthy condition and garages will remain open if you need repairs.

After discussion with BP, we are delighted to confirm that #bloodbikes will receive #freefuel in #covid19 This is massive for the sector in this time of reduced income.
We're mobilising BP's resources across the UK to help get people safely through this pandemic: • Free fuel for emergency service vehicles • Delivery of food & convenience purchases to those that need it with no delivery charges And we'll look for more ways to contribute

Replying to @Davyshanks
Davy, they need to engage more with @NERVs2016, the local blood bikers. They can offer all the logistics required but are hardly used by NHS Grampian at the moment.

Excellent point. It’s vital that we keep social interaction at this time, just not in person. – at Westhill, Scotland
I really *don’t* want people to social distance. By all means physically distance but please don’t leave someone all alone with nobody and nothing. Loneliness kills, too. There’s no need to not pick up the phone. I know it’s semantics (perhaps pedantic) but it’s been bugging me.

The Queen presented Harry Billinge with an MBE today. The D-Day veteran raised £1 for every British soldier who died at Normandy to help fund a @normandymtrust memorial. ‘I am choked beyond measure to think I have got an MBE. I don’t deserve it.’ We disagree, Harry.🎖

First piece filmed, written and edited as a Multi-media journalist after our training course. V challenging, especially when I dismantled my tripod before even starting my first interview... Thankfully the lovely bunch at North East Rider Volunteers were v helpful - and patient!

One of our members received a message from a friend, an anaesthetic nurse at #Singleton "Whoever brought the blood to us tonight, thank you very much. It was a very stressful situation but the patient survived." What more can we say! #ItsWhatWeDo ....(Ends)
