When I worked in the NHS, for a while and a long time ago, the system seemed very clear: SRN - blue stripes, SEN - green stripes, acilliary, cleaners, etc., something else, often white or pink. More senior nurses were usually solid blue.

When Johnson starts trying to distance himself from the incompetence of his own government, as he surely will, cabinet ministers will find out just how loyal & honest he is. They could save themselves some time by asking his wives.
As in calling Hancock's 100,000 tests arbitrary?James O'Brien@mrjamesob

Yes as an in-patient / visiting it can take awhile to work out the different roles esp between HCAs and qualified nurses as uniforms can be a quite similar light blue - Matrons (degree qualified) are usually discernible by dark blue - And a for a lot of tasks staff acting up - with unqualified assistants doing the jobs of what nurses were doing only a few years before, likewise for nurses doing tasks that was the province of docs. Docs on some wards hard to find but if spottable are noticible by a stethescope around their necks and junior docs by bulge in their pocket of small discreet medical reference books.
He did, but unlike Boris hadn't the wit to take the opportunity to become the invisible man, his best plan it to stage a relapse, after all it worked for Boris
This is true. Millions of pieces of PPE are being sent from the U.K. to other areas within the EU. Why is this? The suppliers have been screaming at the government to try and supply them with the kit. Their efforts to help have been ignored and met with silence, so they are selling it abroad, because they can’t get it into the NHS.
Surgical masks are no good at all for the staff treating Covid-19 patients. They only lightly protect the patient from medical workers such as operating theatre staff. I don't think we have a shortage of them anyway.
I think they mean respirators as in facemasks - a commonly used term in industry even if the full term is longer and more precise:
Although some of the consignments contained cloth surgical masks, the N95 type, which WHO have stated offer protection against Coronavirus, were sold.
My brain immediately thought of Johnson being made PM of Rockall and living there...

Poor fish and birds.
Now's your chance, there's no way we can afford another Falklands at present, not even a mini one.
We have a weekly airliner to and from the Falklands, carrying among others, members of the armed forces, civil servants and Falklanders secondary school children who school in other countries. Plenty of transmission oportunities.
Its currently the only place in the British Isles or as we prefer Islands of the North Atlantic (IONA) where we can guarantee CV19 free.
