The unit was overcrowded with people who had been told to come in for monitoring; stressed & insufficient staff. Why are results of Affirm trial being ignored? Is there a new set of risks being created here?

Jim Thornton There are various things in SBLv2 that it seems like someone went ‘oh here’s an idea’ and so they put it in and now it’s been mandated across the country for any Trust who wants to achieve CNST - ‘Fresh Ears’ is another example. Also, one off cervical length scans...

Should be a good day christine bird @cmcuncarr Mary Atkinson

Researching population health is now ‘far left activism’! The ironic thing is that such headlines try to convince the very people Sir Michael Marmot’s report is advocating for. What sort of activism do you call turning people against themselves? 🤔

Are you young? Are you healthy? Not bothered if you get #COVID2019? Good for you, but DON’T be a spreader! Avoidable deaths *will* happen if health systems can’t cope. Do your bit to #FlattenTheCurve

“Stay in your lane”

It’s been a strange couple of weeks. I didn’t know how to articulate my feelings until ✨Dr Anna Byrom✨She/Her #NTFS2019 (my amazing daughter) shared this with me. All I can say is that it helped. Let them be. #letthembe

Thought for the day…. After much discussion re front cover of the Lancet yesterday. I have also heard from some as to how feminism is about being inclusive so it should not matter that women we’re not mentioned. I agree feminism is about inclusion but here is my take.#ENOUGH

At #LGCAwards - all public health teams already recognised for their work during the pandemic. And that was before dinner was served... I'll echo that for my whole (extended!) team :-)
