I once contacted Jess Phillips out of the blue for advice about a woman I was trying to support who had fled domestic violence. I emailed her at 7pm on a Friday night not really expecting a response. 1/2

Just met up with some other mums whose kids have long covid. Bloody hell the NHS has let people down so so badly. Thank goodness for the few Drs who are helping: A truly amazing bunch of kids and parents still keeping on going 5 years after getting poorly

One often underappreciated factor in delivering good quality care is having sufficient time to clinically assess patients, identify their concerns and discuss a management plan with them. Compared to many other developed countries, GP consultations in the UK are very short.

Interesting thread on recent GLP-1 study. I’d still prefer stronger action on the social and commercial determinants/drivers of these non-communicable diseases 🤔

Donald Trump is making a deliberate attempt to overwhelm the system, and to overwhelm you. It can be difficult to keep up. And that’s by design. But we can keep up – and respond. Here’s what he’s doing, and what it means for you. Just the facts. 🧵⤵️

This isn’t getting enough attention. JD Vance recently said that “stupid social media activity shouldn’t ruin” someone’s life. Yet, here’s JD a couples years ago saying Gigi Sohn shouldn’t be nominated to the FCC because of her social media posts. Hypocrisy is dead.

Humans are facing challenges that have never before arisen in their brief sojourn on Earth. We must face them with understanding, an open mind, an appreciation of what has been accomplished, and humility about what we do not yet understand. — Noam Chomsky

oh for goodness sake Rishi Sunak Keir Starmer ! if there was data showing a clear benefit of screening it would already be being done. this is not the way to generate evidence based safe healthcare. the UK National Screening Committee exists - use it!

No Other Land airs on Channel 4 at 11.15pm, Tuesday 4 March. Please share widely so as many people as possible can witness how Israel steals Palestinian land and destroys homes and lives, shown through the eyes of Basel, a Palestinian filmmaker, and Yuval, an Israeli journalist.
