NHS staff have not hesitated to look after those we love throughout this pandemic.
Through their own fear, their own grief, their own exhaustion, they stepped up and they carried on.
They are the best of public service, the best of us. Thank you NHS.

On #InternationalNursesDay I want to recognise the extraordinary contribution of the nursing workforce. We are so grateful for your skill, expertise, leadership and dedication. You embody so much of what makes the NHS something to be proud of. Thank you all for everything you do.
It’s #NationalDoctorsDay and I’d like to express my personal and professional gratitude to the doctors I work with, and those who have cared and care for me, my family and friends. Thank you so much for all you do and for all you contribute to the NHS.
Used the @nhsapp for 111 instead of phoning, worked perfectly, just been prescribed antibiotics by @BucksHealthcare, prescription appeared on the App instantly, no paper involved at all, so easy!

We are seeing a lot of patients who are very unwell and need admission. That has been the case for many days and so the hospital is under sustained pressure despite more than 100 escalation beds being open. This is a tough period (as it often is) 2/
Our staff are working very hard to hard indeed in v difficult, demanding roles & I am profoundly grateful to them. As always if you are concerned or want to raise issues directly with me please email [email protected]
Thank you 3/3
It is extremely busy @MKHospital and despite our teams working incredibly hard, patients in our ED are experiencing longer waits than we or they would like. Please know we are doing all we can to see you as quickly as possible. 1/3

We start the New Year with a tremendously busy hospital. My thanks go to all the staff @MKHospital for their unstinting hard work. Despite significant efforts, patients are waiting longer than we’d like in our ED because of the volume of very unwell people we are seeing. 1/2
I am very sorry if you or a loved one experience these longer waits. If you have questions or concerns about your experience, please do contact me [email protected] and thank you for your patience as we work hard to see everyone who needs us as quickly as we can 2/2

Joe, I am a user of the App and it has helped me in conversations with various clinicians by enabling up to date access to various medical records.
The NHS App is used by 33.6 million people with 10 logins a second.
It is one of the most powerful tools we have to enable people to manage their healthcare. The possibilities for prevention & improving health are huge. V proud to be leading this work.

Merry Christmas to everyone @MKHospital and across the NHS. Thank you to those spending today away from your families, caring for others. And thank you to the 1.4m NHS staff for the care and support you provide every day. What you do matters so much to all of us. #NHS
Christmas is upon us. A time of happiness and one of reflection, and in the NHS, a time that continues as every day in healthcare does – with joy and grief, fear and hope. We are privileged to hold all of human life, its fragility and strength, inside the walls of our hospital 1/
I hope you know how very grateful we are for that, and for all you do. I hope everyone reading this is able to spend some time at home with those they love, to celebrate the season, or to rest and relax. 5/
