Impossible not to have a good day when these folks join you for lunch. Very lucky to be able to nip over to Leazes Park for lunch between clinics today.

Second day as a consultant today, and after 5 and a half years I’ve decided to make my desk at work more homely. This is an E Boag (aged 4) original commissioned specifically for my workspace this Easter.

Today is a good day. It’s easier to be a parent this morning. Character MATTERS. Being a good person MATTERS. This is a big deal. It’s easy to do it the cheap way and get away with stuff — but it comes back around. Today is a good day. #PresidentBiden #VotersDecided

There’s 3 of us that work in my mortuary and it’s so incredibly hard, overwhelming and pretty scary right now. What makes it harder is that we feel completely forgotten about just because we’re not NHS. We do the exact same job but we’re employed by a council.....1/2

So much in the media about #COVIDー19 testing, it seems important to correct some misconceptions. Thread👇

Please don’t be tempted to go out and socialise this weekend. You must stay at home to protect the NHS and save lives. We will get through this 😊 #StayHomeSaveLives #coronavirus

Useful brief overview of caveats and requirements for evaluation of COVID19 / SARS Cov2 antibody testing. A good read for anyone who’ll be using and interpreting these assays when we have them in use

Our #Immunology SAC wishes to ensure that #COVID19 / SARS CoV2 assay evaluations are robust and fit for purpose. The SAC has released a statement covering testing, screening, harmonisation and standardisation. It's on our COVID-19 resources hub: rcpath.org/coronavirus
