Today is very strange for me. The government has announced it'll ban conversion therapy. 9 years ago I subjected myself to it, going undercover to investigate conversion therapists. No UK journalist had done this before. No one knew what was going on. This is what I learned. 1/

Sounds great but maybe get me an IT system that doesn’t run on a version of Windows that is nearly 10 years old, then we can talk about replacing triage nurses with Siri 🙄 x.com/independent/st…

Natural family planning methods can work for some women, but the risk of pregnancy is greater compared to other methods. I’ve had a number of patients interested in this app, but they are often unaware of the suitability criteria for it.

Very exciting to see my first piece in the BMJ Sexual & Reproductive Health with Maggie Bryce and Simon Forrest, read about why we think there is a case for more transparency and clarity when advertising contraception on social media here srh.bmj.com/content/early/…

"I’ll travel the world looking for the best technology for NHS." Er... When we're short of 42k nurses and 11k doctors? And ambulances are queuing round the block outside our hospitals? Stop globetrotting, Matt Hancock, & start addressing understaffing. theguardian.com/politics/2018/…

Sexual heath services are already unable to cope with demand. We need to stop cutting these vital services if we're to reach #ZeroHIV and tackle soaring rates of gonorrhoea and syphilis. The Government must reverse cuts to public health budgets: tht.org.uk/news/governmen…

It’s unacceptable that individuals who have been refused access to the PrEP trial have gone on to be diagnosed with HIV. 🙅🏼‍♂️ We’re urgently calling for the trial to be expanded and PrEP to be made routinely available on the NHS. RT to show your support. #PrEPNow 💊

Still annoyed at Theresa May saying women put smear tests off because they're uncomfortable, ignoring the fact the Conservatives have made screening (esp in high risk patients) much more difficult

If any other NHS service was delaying interventions by 3+ years, there would rightfully be outrage in the media. The state of gender identity services in the UK is systematically failing trans*people, both children and adults.

An irresponsible and inaccurate headline from The Sun. Sasha's boyfriend absolutely did not risk his life by having sex with her. Headlines like this undermine all the work to promote the message that those on effective HIV treatment #CantPassItOn. thesun.co.uk/fabulous/85212…
