    “Had this been a normal year without COVID, it’d be difficult but I think we’d cope. But we've got an NHS that’s exhausted. We're short of 84,000 staff. We do not want a massive wave of other viruses.” Prof Sir Stephen Holgate, Chair of our new report 👉 acmedsci.ac.uk/more/news/wint…

    Replying to @ShaunLintern and @acmedsci
    Truly dreading the winter season as an NHS Nurse. Expecting hospitals to be without bed capacity for many periods of it, and yet again staff will be expected to go above and beyond their duty by missing breaks and working days off to cover for staff shortages.
