Shockingly, rehabilitation isn't available everywhere in the UK.

Alongside our CRA partners, we’re meeting MPs to call for the end of the rehab postcode lottery and a named rehab lead to be appointed on every hospital trust and board.

I watched this tonight, in my local cinema. Excellent, powerful, do watch it if you get the chance.

I was surprised to learn that the BMA initially opposed the introduction of the NHS. Thank goodness Nye Bevan had the determination & vision to keep going 💙

Congratulations to Scot Andrew Tomlinson who completed the London Marathon in under four hours today 👏

Thanks to Libby Brooks and The Guardian for this thoughtful piece on Scotland's #HateCrime legislation. As Adam Stachura says in the article: “Let’s not forget the majority of this is about addressing significant acts of hate because of who you are.'

Thanks to NHS Fife & Kerri (a new tag team).

Delighted to champion the importance & benefits of a diverse workforce. Can be full of depressing statistics of where we are, but hopefully, the positivity of getting it right is the strongest message & where we will get to.

How much data, repeated how many times do we need to see before we understand that “social” care must be fixed?

And not just to help treat people at the front doors of our hospitals, but to support those people stuck in hospital who don’t want or need to be.

Today at the NHS GGC Grand Round. Brilliant to have Kerri Baker 'The Gender Agenda'. A brilliant presentation looking at the inequalities that female staff & patients face! What can we & should we do! I've heard Kerri talk about this...it will inspire you to make changes.

Cheesy as it sounds, despite challenging times & frustrations. I still 💯 love the speciality of geriatric medicine & would recommend it. I am glad lots of my colleagues feel the same.
