I'm afraid not too much time to blog at the moment. Like many others in pharmacy, infection management, public health, emergency planning and just general healthcare; the day job's taking second place to the disease formerly known as Swine Flu.
Increasingly Facebook posts, blogs and tweets are appearing on the news, so it limits what i can post about the situation; which is generally working ok with minor teething troubles here and there on account of us doing something on a larger scale than ever before.
Certainly there are many things being reinforced - the importance of clear, unambigious information quickly disseminated; particularly in the face of rumours. The difference between the universal principles of the NHS and the limitation of resources.
Will post more when I can.
