We've just met with porters Scott and Andy and we're already off on our first job #FollowAPorter pic.twitter.com/VvG4xQZAXn- We're transferring a patient who's just had a procedure in the endoscopy unit back to their ward #FollowAPorter
- Porters Scott and Andy are working together on this transfer because the patient is in a bed #FollowAPorter
- The patient is safely & comfortably back at the ward & now we're downstairs on Nightingale Ward to pick up our next patient #FollowAPorter

Porters have a dedicated lift so they can move patients as safely and efficiently as possible #FollowAPorter pic.twitter.com/cT7Z1y43HJ- We've just radioed back to the porters lodge for our next job #FollowAPorter
- Porters use radios to save time and reduce unnecessary delays. They are essential for communication between the team #FollowAPorter
Ward clerk Edgar calls for porters when they are needed. He says they are very friendly! #FollowAPorter pic.twitter.com/CMV9gr3LBA- We've just got out of the lift with our empty bed so another porter transferring a patient can take priority #FollowAPorter
“@GSTTnhs: We've been with the porters for 1 hour and already done 2,463 steps! #FollowAPorter” Wow! Bet they don't need gym membership!

- 2 hour step check - 4,712 #FollowAPorter
