The whooping cough vaccine in pregnancy protects your baby until it's old enough for its own vaccine. Vaccine uptake in pregnancy has dropped from 75% in 2017 to 59% in 2024. And babies are dying. This is a consequence of bad actor messaging on vaccines. Please get vaccinated!

This is a fantastic change in relatively short time and shows the motivation of all involved. Don't underestimate how much time and work has been put into achieving this fundamental change in the NHS. Well done!

One of the lovely things that happened at #GES2024 was that we had a chance to acknowledge 35 extraordinary years of Jeremy Grimshaw's commitment to this global movement. People stood up and gave him a standing ovation, and it was just absolutely lovely to see 🧵4/7

These are very wise and important words from Sean Ninan. They deserve to be repeated and repeated and repeated till they become widely understood. And, if we want the NHS to survive, we all need to help the system respond to them constructively. Read it from beginning to end.

Be careful everyone, this happened in greystones. The lady's daughter was scammed out of €1000, using a QR code that she scanned to pay for parking.

Very few people realise that the vast majority of hospice and palliative care is provided by charity - not by the NHS. I think this is a national scandal. Please RT if you do too 🙏

More evidence from robust evaluation by my colleagues Institute for Fiscal Studies that SureStart had impressive long run impacts. Previous work showed it improved the long run health and educational achievement of poorer children. New work shows drop in serious youth offending.
