Finally a report on this. As parent seeing your adult children having to accept this as ‘normal’ is heartbreaking. Landlords who don’t care while fleecing students/parents.

Most people are aware of the main reason Nightingales were a calamity - there were no people to staff them - , but Nightingale hospitals were bizarre for other reasons Well, bizarre when you assume the govt is acting in the interests of the public’s health… 1/n

Bringing back good memories watching #girlsaloud from the 02.

After days apart due to complications, this mama chimp is unaware her baby is nearby until she sees his tiny hand reaching out 🐒💔

16 year old boy arrested for cutting down the Sycamore Gap tree within 24 hours. Water companies dumping sewage, trashing our rivers and sea, for years, not a single arrest of a water company exec.

One photo shows a single, solitary ancient sycamore tree destroyed in an act of eco vandalism that has rightly caused outrage. The other photo shows one of 108 ancient, native woodlands destroyed to make way for HS2. Can we get as angry about this too?

“I lost colleagues whilst I was working each day and the government has barely acknowledged that fact… People were dying in front of us & the morgues were full. We had no body bags left in the trust.” Please listen to this heart-rending testimony 😔

Yes Max! 👍🏼💯

I wish Shelagh Fogarty wouldn’t make comments ‘under her breath’ it’s not helping my coughing situation 🤣

Interesting development - the first 200 medical doctor apprentices will start training this September nhsemployers.org/articles/medic…

Recently started having a few more treatments - massage, reflex, facials. Some great, some not so. I’m often staggered by the poor delivery and lack of consultation going on out there. #holistictherapies

I googled this week ‘has a sitting prime minister ever lost their seat in a GE’. Apparently not….. yet

Shared because a lot of people have no idea this is happening. Not talked about in mainstream media. For many who get a ‘doctors’ appt and celebrate , don’t realise they are not seeing a doctor!

All health professionals and patients should be aware of potential role substitution by the NHS: the-pda.org/partha-kar-tal…

An anecdote of an interaction with a patient that has stayed with me for 15 years. When I was a fresh-faced 2nd year doctor in a GP practice, a young lady came for an appointment. She couldn’t have been more than 5 years older than me. The reason was ‘work stress’ A long 🧵

Odd week - started w/seeing Rhod Gilbert in his standup show ‘the giant grapefruit’ & ending with news that a lady from my art group has died from cancer. I didn’t know her for long, but we connected and I’m glad we were friends for a short time. Just wish it was for longer.

Me - cleansing my soul with morning with a bit of Marcus at Christmas Along with a lot of swearing and ‘what the ….’
