The Nobel prize has the Ig Nobel prize. The Oscar’s has the Razzies. What does the The Earthshot Prize have? The EarthShaft prize? The Hellshot prize? Think it’s a good idea? It’d need to be fun as well as serious. Who could pull it off? Greenpeace International ? Richard Curtis? @mattwinning

I joined doctors & patients protesting outside GMC as Dr Sarah Benn awaits to hear if she will be struck off for peaceful climate action. Striking whistleblowing doctors off rides roughshod over the GMC’s own legal and ethical responsibility to protect patient safety.

Good to see The BMA are alarmed by the misjudgement of GMC to sanction doctors for engaging in peaceful climate action. Time for all health leaders to choose courage over comfort & similarly speak out. 👉 blogs.bmj.com/bmjleader/2024… bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Unwell patients don't give a monkeys if their doctor is an activist on their days off, so long as it doesn't leak into the consultation + they're treated with diligence + care So why Medical Practitioners Tribunal Service have you deemed Dr Ben's fitness to practice 'impaired'? Her activism is irrelevant

If the dairy industry could force oat milk to be called oat drink, could eco lawyers force fake grass companies like 'lazylawn', 'astroturf' and 'grasswarehouse' to be called sth more apt - like toxic green death sheets? Paul Powlesland Lawyers for Nature Good Law Project Shit Lawns

Should doctors be suspended for climate activism? Dr Diana Warner will be the second doctor to face a medical tribunal next week. My thoughts in this blog. open.substack.com/pub/drchrisnew…

We're in London for the launch of Plant Based Health Professionals UK "Plants First Healthcare" initiative. Proud to have signed an open letter to NHS leaders calling for plant-based meals to be the default in healthcare settings. Plant based could reduce kidney failure risk by 14% & save the NHS ££

Hospital food hasn't got the best reputation. You might call most offerings a 'beige buffet'. But Ben Jaxen Ireland visited the Royal National Orthopaedic Hospital, where recent changes have made it healthier and more sustainable. How does the food at your hospital compare?🍲[1/8]
