Are you sad and angry about the surge in anti-Asian violence? Wondering if there’s something anti-racist you can do? One idea: learn how pronounce Asian names! It doesn’t have to be perfect. Just try, and it will make a difference to your Asian friends and people you meet. (1/8)

Brilliant work. Barbers will offer blood pressure checks to customers. I have lost too many young patients to strokes & heart attacks. Let’s reach out to our communities rather than waiting for them to come to practices. PCNs could work well with this model for our populations

Thread about end of life decisions: #EOL A couple weeks ago, I had a good friend diagnosed with an aggressive glioblastoma (brain tumor). She underwent surgery. Of course they couldn't get it all and I visited to help her and her children decide on the next steps. 1/x

Why when it comes to Afghan & Syrian refugees do we worry about NHS waiting lists and lack of housing etc but when it comes to Ukrainian refugees we’re all asked to budge up, empty the spare room and we’re paid to do it? Anyone?

I recently interviewed a group of people with #LearningDisabilities for a new book. They all voted on ‘distress’ or ‘signs of distress’ to replace ‘challenging behaviour’ or ‘behaviour that challenges’ They said the reason I self injure or hit someone is because I’m distressed

When I tell people that I work with children and families who have problems at school, they often nod and look sympathetic. 'Bullying is terrible', they say. Yes. It is, but it's not bullying I hear about most. Here's what families tell me. (with Missing The Mark) 1/

The use of fear to control children is so ubiquitous that most adults don’t even realise they are doing it. They’d never describe what they are doing that way. But in so many different ways, the children feel it. Here’s what it looks like. 1/
