While I’m regularly critical of BBC radio, it’s only fair that I give credit where it’s due. Overnight, I listened to the Belfast-born presenter Lisa McCormick on BBC Radio 5 Live. She was so relaxed and her handling of callers was first-class. Presenters like this should be treasured.

“You’re the savior of the people, you bring tears to my eyes.” “No no, you saved Europe.” “My hero.” “No, you are our hero.” “I pray for you.” Heartbreaking between Volodymyr Zelenskyy / Володимир Зеленський & a #DDay veteran, who knows the cost. He kisses his hand & won’t let go.

Alan Stout 100%. Makes zero sense not to prioritise gatekeepers. Throwing good £ after bad via WLI without reforms of “NHS” system. Secondary care changes directed by those who don’t understand good, efficient care. Lack of funding for what makes clinical sense. Instead goes to shiny things

Great thread Dr Bhatt on an impressive heart procedure even kidney physicians appreciate! I didn’t know the details. Thanks

Cardinal Timothy Radcliffe posed for me yesterday at the Dominicans global headquarters adjoining the 5th century Basilica of Santa Sabina — these cloisters once accommodated Thomas Aquinas while he wrote part of the Summa Theologica.

Today in Rock History May 14, 1979 Blondie released “One Way or Another” as the fourth North American single from their third album, Parallel Lines, drawing inspiration from Deborah Harry’s real-life experience with a stalker in the early 1970s.

I support more funding to primary care especially if tied to long term conditions (LTCs) targets. This has worked brilliantly via QOF. I said this to Minister Mike Nesbitt when he visited our transplant unit in Sept 24. I made the point that investing more in primary care

Ditto for the excessive bumps & potholes post utility ‘services’ on Belfast streets. Cycling infrastructure almost non-existent & these surfaces literally add injuries to insults!! Does anyone senior in the Department for Infrastructure actually cycle regularly around Belfast? I strongly suspect

Totally agree with this sentiment. I met Mike Nesbitt and thought he understood that general practice needed more support. Suspect the devil is in the details. #HSCNIteam

In IgA nephropathy Sibeprenlimab reduced proteinuria by 51.2% by 9 months into the randomised trial versus a rise of 2% in the placebo group. No major difference in side effects. Wow this looks like a serious game changer. #ERA25 #Nephrology #Kidneys

I called Matt Chorley show on BBC Radio 5 Live to express my despair with this #AssistedDying vote. Almost no one speaking has actually spent time with someone having a good end of life experience so this really reflects underinvestment in palliative care & poor experience as

Such a fuss about one F-bomb whilst the world deals with real bombs, bullets & knife deaths x thousands per year. Time our radio & TV stations got some perspective.
