Thank you so much to everyone for your wishes and lovely send off thoughts! I will always hold a special part for my ESCU family in my heart. Thank you to everyone I’ve worked with and saw me grow from a humble band 5 to 6. On to the next one now. 😅 It’s never really goodbye, just see you around in the hospital! Also, I’ll still collect my £5 (close colleagues will get this joke 🤣) whenever I’m in the area. Please don’t hesitate to say hello 👋 if you see me. 🥰🥰🥰 God bless, everyone! 🌈🌈🌈 #NHSLife #DobbyIsFree https://www.instagram.com/p/CdhA5XNtjXu/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

“You can’t defund a health service for a decade, shrink it during a pandemic, siphon off it’s money to ‘commercial partners’ and expect anything other than RATIONING of CANCER services!

We need a government who actually care about the people they serve!”-Dr.Dan Goyal

Have we all seen this clap for Boris shit. Should be called "shit in your hands and clap for Boris Johnson"

Wouldn't wish illness on anyone and I genuinely feel for his family but I swear people forget this is the same man that spend weeks doing nothing in order to pursue some 'heard immunity' shit knowing full well that by pursuing this tactic thousands would die. And now that he is one of them people act like he is a hero?!

What's worse is people saying he is some heroic Churchill type figure?! Well maybe they are right Churchill was a racist bigot who committed genocide in India so you know.

Fucking makes me sick. How dare you clap for the NHS than clap for the man that helped put them in this awful state though years of privatisation and chronic underfunding. Fucking hypocrites should be ashamed

During a pandemic like we have now let me explain how it feels to be a key worker or essential worker.

You don’t feel like superman or a hero, you don’t feel a sense of pride that you are a key worker or a essential worker. You feel scared everyday you feel like your in harms way, while others get to stay at home your out their risking your health regardless of if your work for the nhs or if your part of the supply chain or a key worker in the sense your and engineer, Plummer, electrician, gas man, pest controller.

Before you go into someone’s home in these times you feel sick and do question if you should be doing this, cause let’s be honest no one wants to get ill no one wants to die.

In these times the key and essential workers are not the highest paid members of society they are the blue collar guys and gals who earn 25k or 30k a year. I personally think that these people working in what is being described as a war should be paid additional money wages and when this is all over a real hard look taken to ensure these people are paid a salary that befits them in the future.

Let’s not go back to the way it was when this is all done with let’s make it better

When your gender expression is confusing for your (newly met) co-workers, it seems that they cannot always handle the panic and will start calling you all sorts of things other than by your name/grade/profession.

Some people have expressed concern for me, because they thought that I might be pregnant and at high risk working with covid19 patients. Please be assured, that the bulge is a combination of tubby tummy and bum bag. Thanks for the kind thoughts

“ Been speaking to several London frontline doctors working in major hospitals. Picture isn’t great. One: “it’s a bit like a warzone. I’d say not far off where we were at in first wave in terms of capacity. But staff are completely demoralised and exhausted this time round.”

Another: “It’s all pretty grim. Over 50% inpatients are covid cases. But no beds free. Supplies holding up well so far. Staff sickness a risk. Elective [procedures] stopped last week but it’s too late.”

Another member of staff from a London hospital: “Things are a mess. Treatment in ambulances, oxygen ran out the other day. It’s horrid. The whole hospital is full of Covid. This is worse than the 1st wave and is going to get worse because the public don’t realise how bad it is.”

The thing I’ve heard repeatedly, from dozens of people working in hospitals, is that the thing making the situation now so much worse is a) severe staff absence which is partly driven itself by Covid but as much by b) profound levels of mental and physical exhaustion.

Hearing about more London trusts cancelling leave well into the New Year, asking people to work extra shifts if they can, redeployments from different parts of the hospital in question.

"Staff are near burn out with lots of them showing signs of PTSD. I see nurses and doctors crying on the corridors before, during and after shifts.

To anyone who says this is not real they need to be shown the inside of a Covid ITU or acute admissions ward."

"Nursing staff hold patients hands as they die with their eyes wide open, nurses and doctors holding iPads so families can say their last goodbyes via Zoom as a patient dies."

Consider the psychological toll of that. The word I keep hearing is burnout.

I’m told a major London hospital has told its senior medical staff to brace themselves for the peak in admissions which they believe still won’t come for another fortnight.

I’m also told that in one London hospital, psychiatric nurses and other mental health staff have been redeployed to provide support to staff on ICU. One staff member tells me:

“Nurses are walking off the wards in tears, some have resigned. They are dealing with PTSD from the multiple traumatic deaths they are witnessing and then having to go back for more. We need everyone to be more cautious. People need to avoid mixing and stay at home. We can’t take much more of this.”

From an anaesthetist at a London hospital: “At various points over the Xmas wkend every CPAP machine (assists breathing, often used to see if patient can cope without intubation, sedation and ventilation) was in use across entire trust. This is a very bad situation to be in.”

“ITU is being covered partly by nurses who are NOT trained in ITU nursing. In some instances paediatric nurses. Many of these people are doing a great job under almost impossible circumstances. But they are not trained for this.”

“The wards are completely overloaded with covid patients. Every night was worse, every night trying to work out how many we could take to to ITU and who would have to cope on the ward for longer.”

“Morale is very low. We all feel the government is continually since April about 2-4 weeks behind what is obvious on the ground.

Anaesthesia and intensive care doctors are getting desperate text messages to help with hospitals that are at the epicentre - East London.”

To add some empirical context to these experiences consider a few things 1) NHS had been increasingly struggling in winter before 2) A&E wait times have been getting worse for yrs 3) staff shortages were a problem per-pandemic- eg we went into this with 40,000 nursing vacancies.

This is why the Nightingales aren’t being used. Because there just aren’t enough staff to fill them.

In the spring we rode it out because a) it was spring and b) staff were fresher. 9 months on they are physically and mentally spent and it’s winter. They’re pushing water uphill.

The fact that winter would be so bad for the NHS was predictable and predicted. It’s why people like Andrew Heyward said in Nov that Xmas relaxation would add fuel to the fire. It’s also why some public health experts said that early December return to the tiers was a mistake....

Do not listen to idiots who say this is all fake or exaggerated. There is a real crisis going in some of our hospitals right now...”-Lewis Goodall

I am raising money to help our NHS SUPERHEROES + VOLUNTEERS,

My challenge:

Asif's 100 Half Marathons for 100 Days (including 30 Days of Half Marathons without any food/drink whilst Fasting for Ramadan) @ Home to complete a 4000 KM / 2500 Mile Virtual Tour of Britain for OUR NHS SUPERHEROES

Also during Ramadan where I am completing half marathons whilst fasting for 19 hours I hope to cover a total distance of 900 Km / 560 Miles

As of today (16 May 2020) I have covered a total distance of 958.88 KM / 595.82 MILES doing runs around my living room coffee table in just 25 days since the start of my fundraiser challenge on April 22. In real terms this is the distance I have ran from Inverness, Scotland to Whiddon Down in Devon, England. This is the daily half marathons I do and includes the top up runs I do during each day.

For full details and to donate please visit,

Not to sound like a commie, but “Why should retail workers make basic living wages when the NuRsEs DoNt!!!!” isn’t an argument. Everyone should make basic living wage. And frontline NHS workers don’t appreciate being used as straw men in your classist rhetoric either.

#nhslife #classism #nhs #and yes you can fight me on this #source- i work full time in a cancer centre #also nurses arent theonly underaid healthcare workers but thats a whole other rant #stuff
