On 12 Feb 2020, we held our first ICU MDT meeting with Virology, PHE & others to understand what was known about SARS-CoV-2 (not that it was called this then), & begin making plans for how we would manage when cases arrived in our hospital. Feels like a lifetime ago.

Really quite something to see Christ the Redeemer in person. Am heading home today, but glad I got the chance to visit before doing so.

Great to see this report from UKRI published today. It contains some concrete proposals for reversing the decline in UK clinical academia. Now they just need to be delivered! www.ukri.org/wp-content/u...
