what is your opinion on it? Obviously we want to keep hospital staff safe but can you stop people getting treatment? Am I misunderstanding what’s going on? Either way, scary times in Blackpool.

I'd want better evidence that something was happening than a report on SkyNews.

Having looked at her twitter account she appears to be a doctor who specialises in Gastroenterology, with numerous medical posts on twitter from at least June 2024 (cannot be bothered going back any further as she seems to post most days). I cannot verify which hospital she is working at though.
