Our open letter to UK infection control leads went today. Patients can be asked to remove their FFP2 or FFP3 mask, or swap it for a surgical one, while staff can now choose a respirator if treating a patient with respiratory symptoms. clinicallyvulnerable.org/letters/right-to-mask #RightToMask

Every interaction is a battle until you tip the scales. I carry my son's medical summary and present it at my appointments. "This is who Im protecting," After the initial π± reaction, everyone was happy to mask up, ventilate the room, or use full precautions. Sometimes you need the big stick. π·π

πππ Thank you for pointing out the absurdity of NHS masking policies and repeatedly reminding people that as a nation we paid for an inquiry whose recommendations we are ignoring. Itβs beyond time to get clean air into health care and use logical tools including masks and vax to reduce infection.

The guidance for masking in healthcare settings has a small mistake, but one that puts the health of the clinically vulnerable at risk. π§΅

This story is not so much about the care sector, but carers more generally. Those who tried to keep families safe due to health risks. This was a different kind of caring (particularly difficult for young people) and we HOPE it will be recognised in the module 6 report. π
1/ βThereβs a kind of admission that Iβm worn out already and Iβm 26 and thatβs the lasting impact of the pandemic, I think.β Tomorrow, the Inquiry will publish its sixth report: βCare Sectorβ (Module 6).

This is a significant step. Homeless people are made Clinically Vulnerable due to their circumstances and should have always qualified for these vaccines. www.england.nhs.uk/2026/10/nhs-...

βComplacency leaves the world vulnerable.β An epidemic or pandemic doesnβt emerge fully formed. Prevention starts long before an outbreak becomes a crisis. Complacency leaves vulnerable people exposed - which is why preparedness must begin now, not after the next next crisis.
Complacency leaves the world vulnerable. Political will is the need of the hour. Continued investment in epidemic/pandemic preparedness, stronger global cooperation, and fair access to health solutions will help make the Pandemic Agreement a reality.

Six months on, why hasn't there been action on clean air in healthcare? The Inquiry said air filtration should be prioritised across the UK. But it has slipped through the cracks of the governmentβs response. What happened - and what can YOU do? π
