Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Been to our Nightingale a few times now, including today and yesterday. Looks like I'll be posted there permanently. Just me and another temp porter at the mo. Plan is to use the hospitals, we have three on our patch (although one is tiny and the other is blink and you'd miss it, mind the main one i...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Regulator could you give me a bit of info/advice about logging into the NHS ESR please? I don't have a user name or password as yet, there is an option to request both but to do this I have to give the email associated with my account, my application was done through Trac recruitment and although I...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
My fear at the moment is that it won't be needed at the moment, but will be come September and the second wave of infection. Especially if restrictions are eased too quickly. Yes, the people I was talking to were boss level, the building has to be returned as it was, and, as they have a business to...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
That's a very kind thing for you to say, thank you, but I'm just humping stuff around so better people can do their jobs.

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Was working in our local Nightingale today with 7 or 8 others. One of the buildings on our Center Parc type holiday place has been taken over and coverted for use. It'll have around 150 beds and has 3 wards and a palliative unit. They also added portakabins onto the building, which they've converted...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Better to have a surplus of trained pairs of hands waiting for something to do than a lack of them when things suddenly get busy. That's my experience anyway. Well done Sonic! Absolutely agree, and as there would only be one reason why we would all be busy I'd rather it stayed as it is. A number of...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Anyway, if anyone wants a little update here we go. Yesterday, well the couple of hours that it took to do the job, was spent emptying lockers and cabinets and offices full of files and syringes and numerous other "elements of medical" (©Trump), moving it from one ward and dumping it in another for ...

Re: Moral dilemma...
...what does the group think? On my ride yesterday I saw a dozen or so lads having a friendly game of football. They weren't social distancing at all, and I was very conscious that if anyone was a carrier, they were putting all their families at risk. I tutted to myself, but did nothing. Should hav...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
As a little addition to the above when we were doing our moving and handling training on Wednesday it was in a building across the road from the hospital, on Thursday we went back in smaller groups for a quick training session on a thing called a Hoverjack, which is basically 4 airbeds glued one on ...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Sonic, this is really interesting. I have nothing useful to add, but I do hope you keep sharing things from your day with us. And you have some colleagues who aren't idiots. Not much to report for the last couple of days, on account of the fact that we did pretty much literally nothing. Currently I...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
Manual handling day today. Been using slide sheets and hoists and transferring people from one bed to another and helping someone out of a chair. Then had a shed load of forms to fill out when I got home. Loads there, 30 temporary porters, apparently there are more due in tomorrow. The hospital curr...

"I'll have a bottle of champagne please. The pink one - Lanson" "Would you like a receipt?" My first face to face conversation with someone other than Mrs I for 13 days. If you hadn't mentioned a receipt I would gone away with the impression that Lanson was the name of your butler, in fact I'm goin...

Re: Covid-19 Pandemic Thread
How do they identify whether or not you need this module? I suspect it falls into a similar bracket and adds some more specific detail to the safe guarding modules. It's everyones responsibility to be aware and report if you feel necessary and as I'm likely to be front facing it's relevant. I have ...
