Exercise is the risk you take to avoid the downsides of being sedentary.

And the risk of injury is a lot lower than you think.

(Shameless brag)

At 43 y/o, 20 years on from my first marathon, today I achieved a new PB of 3hrs and (whispering) 22 secs.

99% happy and 1% fuming 😃😃😬

To be fair, I ran the marathon distance sub 3 hrs, but I don't think that counts 😆

We do accessible interval sessions for people who thought running was beyond them due to pain, age or injury.

We call it the ‘Sore Bits Run Club’.

It’s very simple and you should do it too.

It has been an honour to have been the medical dircetor of the Brighton Marathon Weekend working alongside St John Ambulance England over the last decade.

To all the volunteers thank you.

To all the runners please stay safe - drink to thirst and take our advice to not use nsaids of any…

I am passionate about our NHS and have always wanted to get involved with NHS England in a workforce or patients safety role.

But I wrote this article knowing that publishing it would probably stop that happening as they are unlikely to appoint someone who is so openly…

Ex-Thames Water CEO doesn't regret increasing debt by £7bn or paying out more than £3bn in dividends plus huge bonuses to herself.

No it's definately not her fault, but with these people it never is.

Does anyone with needles or scalpols ever go near a Bakers cyst?
I know the basics - reassure, not harmful etc.
But if persistent (eg >6/12), young/athletic pt, post mensiectomy and bothering pt enough, do you ever aspirate/inject/decompress?

In 2010, 70% of you were satisfied with the NHS.

Now, only 24% are.

14 years of Tory government understaffing, underfunding & private sector outsourcing have trashed the NHS into a travesty of the service we want to give you.

It is heartbreaking & so disgustingly wrong 😔

8 in 10 parents & carers say zebra crossings on side roads would make them feel safer walking their children to school. Today we've announced new side road zebra trials to help West Midlands Combined Authority and Greater Manchester Combined Authority with their devolution deals.

🎉 Exciting news 🎉 The #DailyMile has reached 5 MILLION children participating worldwide! 👏🌍 Huge thank you to educators for their vital role in promoting child wellbeing! Keep an eye out as we share some incredible #DailyMile stories from settings around the world!

How depressingly pathetic and childish our actual government party has become.

You're supposed to be in charge of the country.

Grow up.

For some reason felt like I need to remind others...HUGE % OF ACETABULAR LABRAL TEARS ARE INCIDENTAL MRI OBSERVATIONS. (Like mine here. Marathons, triathalons...zero sx ever). Unchanged from 15 yrs ago!!!!!?!!!!! Caution!!!!!

An interesting read that broadly aligns with my personal experience of different healthcare services

New office “artwork” 😊

Private hospitals ‘cannibalising’ NHS in England by doing 10% of elective operations.

Tories reduced NHS to a shell doling out contacts to private hospitals.

30%-40% of payment vanishes in profits.

End the scam. Healthcare must not be a profit centre.

One of the key bits of advice I give runners for the brighton marathon is to avoid at all costs using nsaids in endurance running - it leads to gastro complications, kidney damage and heat stroke

Please if you are doing a marathon DO NOT use nsaids. It's so dangerous.

So sales of private health insurance at Aviva have risen by 41% in the last year.

Exactly as the govt intended.

Welcome to your 2-tier health service.

Private for those who can afford it & an underfunded, understaffed, degraded NHS for everyone else.
