I've said it before, I'll say it again. @remixeverything is a genius, and he's just resissued a feature-length remixed version of his masterpiece Everything is a Remix, and you should watch it. And buy a T-shirt. piped.video/watch?v=X9RYuvPC…

Fully behind the #JuniorDoctorsStrike for #PayRestoration. Gearing up to do my night shift on the ITU @LivHospitals Aintree in place of our junior doctors while they take industrial action. Our trainees set a high bar looking after our patients so I’m feeling the pressure!

Very proud of the response from the ITU team at Aintree Hospital @LivHospitals after Tuesday night’s fire. Calm evacuation and seamless setup in temporary area maintaining safe care. Supported by other hospitals through the region to minimise our workload in a challenging time.

Also, response from fire service, estates team, IT, domestic services, pharmacy and others to ensure we can safely move into our new ITU beds a little earlier than needed has been incredible. Whole hospital including ITU back to full capacity now. Credit to all involved.
