Coronavirus: A&E consultant dies in hospital he worked at after contracting COVID-19

Susie Hewitt, Consultant Emergency Medicine at the hospital, described Mr Riyat as an"enormously valued and much loved colleague".

"For many, Manjeet was considered the father of the current Emergency Department in Derby and many more will reflect on how his inspiration has shaped their own careers."Coronavirus UK tracker: How many cases are in your area – updated daily As Derby college tutor for Emergency Medicine, he oversaw the training of junior doctors from multiple specialties in the Emergency Department. Ms Hewitt said.

In another tribute, Dr Kathy McLean OBE, chair of the University Hospitals Derby and Burton, said:"Mr Manjeet Riyat made a huge contribution to the NHS in Derbyshire and across the field of emergency medicine nationally.

I do not want these people dying. We must work to understand this. This message comes from the man who is haunting me. Cheeky, isn't he! Stay home. Stay safe. Protect the NHS. Plus.

Sad to hear. But also a statistical anomaly that is the new project fear for the corrupt MSM. Disgraceful.

Very sad to hear, Rest in Peace Mr Singh

Are these NHS worker losses due to PPE failing to protect or due to lack of PPE? Either way, an absolute travesty but surely, this needs to be established? Utterly heartbreaking

How?

RIP Mr Singh!

Tragic loss of life. The ultimate sacrifice. RIP.

😢🙏💔 RIP I’m not sure how this announcement reads ... did he get the virus whilst working in the A&E of this hospital ... or was he a patient, who had covid19 and died in the hospital he used to work in?

RIP 😢
