The data on the observed difference in ventilation rates for cancer patients cannot be explained by these data but @cancermedic urges cancer professionals to be a frontline part of the conversation when these patients admitted #NCRIVirtual
Now to keeping elective cancer treatment on track: @RVDSurgeon presented data as how the breast cancer community had flexed capacity and protocol to keep treatment going

Note increased mastectomies in early Covid
The estimated (£) cost (£1.4m) of delayed reconstruction almost exactly balanced by £ savings in moving to 5 day #radonc

All of this is predictably causing emotional trauma and burnout for medical staff.

The change in work practice has been felt everywhere

Side note:
Vicarious Traumatisation a significant risk when systems disrupted during Covid Care.
Strongly recommend resources from @macmillancancer for staff on VT including 4 short videos #NCRIVirtual https://www.macmillan.org.uk/coronavirus/healthcare-professionals/mental-health-and-wellbeing-support

Does the clapping matter and who is it for?
