There was a tweet sent from @EastEnglandAmb last night about GP training and eating disorders. I want to apologise to everyone in primary care who I know goes above and beyond for patients for the upset this has caused, it wasn't right or acceptable. We will learn and do better.

It’s incredibly busy at the moment across @EastEnglandAmb - thank you to everyone who’s responding and working to change and improve our service. If, like me, you need to take a moment to pause this evening I can recommend this as a 2 minute watch.

We are working in challenging times and I'm happy that everyone @EastEnglandAmb can now use @Headspace for free. I personally find meditation really helpful for my own mental health so give it a go if you haven't tried before!

Great to be at the opening of our new PTS base in Dunstable today, our PTS teams play a critical role in keeping our most vulnerable patients well and supporting hospital discharge so really pleased we’ve finally secured better facilities for them to recognise their hard work 👍🏻

My 8 year old niece said to my mum (her Nan) recently “Nanny, I just want to break the rules for 2 minutes so I can give you a hug..but I know I can’t” - a good example of the moral equivalence our response to C19 has required that this DC saga has destroyed. It’s very sad.
