It is certainly essential for the Government to work collaboratively & cooperatively with those who provide patient care. It is also important to resist deprofessionalisation, taskification & dumbed-down training within the NHS, & recognise the value of holistic generalist care.

Patient safety is the touchstone for judging future arrangements for PAs/AAs. Scope of practice must be appropriate & set nationally. Standards have dropped with the deprofessionalisation & taskification of medicine & doctor substitution. The Leng report must address these issues

It's right that NDAs should no longer be used to conceal institutional, organisational & individual misconduct & to silence victims of bullying, harassment & discrimination. Their abolition will make workplaces fairer & safer. We shd commend those who have worked to achieve this.

On the 30th anniversary of the appalling Srebrenica genocide, we must indeed 'Remember Yesterday, Act Today'. In the Srebrenica Prayer's words, we must strive 'That Srebrenica Never happens again To no one and nowhere.' Yet genocides are still occurring elsewhere in the world.

Accomplished Emma Runswick 🏳️‍🌈 interview on BBC Radio 4 Today, setting out case for additional pay for resident doctors. Wes Streeting needs to identify & commit to a clear pathway to improving & restoring pay, or drs will leave medicine or leave the UK, undermining the NHS & patient care.

We must not fail to learn from history.Russian irridentism about a return to Greater Russia or the USSR's borders means Putin & Russia aren't to be trusted.Ukraine, Georgia & Chechnya have been repeatedly attacked.Other independent states are right to be fearful if Ukraine falls.

Trump seeks an end to the war at any price, hoping he will win the Nobel Peace Prize.Putin makes no concessions, adheres to his implacable irridentist agenda & doesn't regard Ukraine as an independent sovereign nation.Trump welcomes Putin & is fooled into thinking he wants peace.

Humanitarian workers, the distribution of aid, & healthcare personnel & facilities are protected under international humanitarian law. Yet increasingly that law is flouted, in Palestine, Ukraine, Sudan, Myanmar & elsewhere. National Governments indeed have an obligation to act.

'The UK is using Brexit to weaken crucial environmental protections', with Ministers using Brexit to actively go backwards, having 'chosen not to keep pace with the EU'. The 'government has made the wrong choices' & created damaging divergence from EU environmental protections.

Low Traffic Neighbourhoods, 20 mph speed limits & the ultra-low emission zone save lives. London Boroughs that block 20 mph limits need to step up, implement what works & protect road users & pedestrians.
