Poor Mark Scholfield, 62, was forced by DWP to endure a fitness to work interview while *dying* of advanced, metastatic cancer. I am a palliative care doctor, @AmberRuddHR, and this is obscene. For God’s sake sort this inhumanity out. It’s 2019. inews.co.uk/news/terminall…

Patient “I don’t want an Asian doctor” Receptionist “she is Scottish” Patient “she doesn’t look Scottish.” Receptionist “what do Scottish people look like?” Silence. Appointment card taken. So proud of my team 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 #endracisim #equalitydiversityandinclusion

wouldn't it be simple to issue ALL members EVERY year (i.e in April) with payslips on 1 piece of A4 as per this screengrab? People need to understand this long before they reach the standard Annual Allowance to not be caught unaware by the taper. RT if you agree! #scrapthetaper

On the radio “GPs receive £150 a year for every patient, EVEN if they don’t visit the surgery”......Yes but we also receive £150 even if they attend 50 times in a year. We don’t deliberately hide patients to make a quick £150 🙄 bbc.com/news/health-48…

Although writing #BreakingandMending was ultimately uplifting, it was often a difficult and emotional journey for me. To see it as an Editor's Choice in The Bookseller is more than I could ever have hoped for. Thank you so, so much, Caroline Sanderson
