Even now with the accepted importance of ventilation for all,
there’s no plans to change ward 4B according to the CEO 👇

And the air monitoring did show issues. Ward 4B reopened in June 2018 anyway.
Despite the poor ventilation, the highest risk BMTs continued normally through COVID
#QEUHinfectionscandal

NHS GGC have known since 2017 - and because of the ventilation system

Just for reference, Scotland does not have an internationally accredited Adult Bone Marrow Transplant Unit.

It would seem that Scotlands flagship hospital, QEUH, Ward 4B requires corrections for JACIE
@scotgov

We need UKHSA to start doing their job

If they provide data on hospital acquired #covid infections then the need for effective airborne infection prevention measures will be clear for ALL to see

Yes!

So the GGC spokesperson is misleading. NHS GGC got the specification they signed off in order to tick SG box. This led to substandard ventilation, patient harm and patient death. #QEUHinfectionscandal

But it doesn’t end there the Scottish Hospitals Inquiry, ordered again by Scot Gov, has also been told achieving BREEAM excellence was an SG instruction, that the board knowingly and actively implemented.

Summed up as

This led to a number of further failures in the critical ventilation system for high risk patients on Ward 4B, adult BMT.

With air flowing from the hospital into 4B, I am at a total loss as to how @slorance contracted COVID in October 2020 in this ward, NOT.

GGC added a £250k bonus payment for achieving BREEAM excellence and accepted the substandard ventilation

Scot gov instructed an independent report on the QEUH, published in July 2020. It found that GGC were aspiring to BREEAM excellence

In @HRwritesnews article on the decade of disaster at #QEUH, an NHS GGC spokesperson said “It is clear that we did not get the specification or quality of the hospital that we sought and legal proceedings are ongoing”. So what’s the truth? 🧵

And NHS GGC

I've been looking back at early days of the pandemic. It's interesting. You can already see airborne downplays & false reassurance emerging.

Jan 2020, Prof Chris Whitty, chief medical officer for England, said the NHS was "extremely well-prepared for managing infections"

Our open letter, signed by leading scientists & HCPs, urges the JCVI & UK Gov to reverse the decision denying COVID vaccines to millions of Clinically Vulnerable people who still qualify for 'flu vaccines.

A "willingness-to-pay" approach puts lives at risk.
