'I feel like I arrive in this MND space in a much more hopeful space because of the amazing work Doddie Weir did'
Former England rugby union captain Lewis Moody, who was diagnosed with MND last year, spoke to #BBCBreakfast about his seven-day cycling challenge in aid of the My Name'5 Doddie Foundation - a 500-mile trip from Newcastle to Twickenham, to deliver the match ball for the Prem final in June

We're saddened to hear that Eric Dane has died.
Eric shared his diagnosis of motor neurone disease with the world a year ago this month. He helped raise vital awareness of MND.
Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

We’re sorry to hear that former @EnglandRugby and @LeicesterTigers rugby player, Lewis Moody, has been diagnosed with motor neurone disease.
He’s one of six people who will receive this news today – the @mndassoc is here to support Lewis, his family and all affected by #MND.

Farewell bash for my friend and senior colleague. The legend that is Damian Hanbury. The ‘glue’ and inspiration to Lister Urology for 30 years.

Congratulations to Professor Nikhil Vasdev who recently completed his 1,500th robotic urological surgery 🎉
Professor Vasdev performed his first robotic operation in 2014, and celebrated this milestone a decade later with his team 💙
Thank you Nikhil for all your amazing work!

Completely agree deadlines need extending
But I'm afraid "no timescale" script from @nhs_pensions is *COMPLETELY* not acceptable
These deadlines are STATUTORY deadlines, and NHS pensions previously said these statements would come from April 24 let alone October 24.
Not fair

Enjoyed the seminar last Thursday and have signed up for your expert help in deciphering my envelope. One question……..if we choose to remain for 7 years in the older contract I assume that doesn’t make any existing CEA wards become pensionable for the extra 7 years

13/ In summary, pay is still WAY DOWN in NHS & public sector. Despite the narrative from some the media, this problem has not been sorted. The process has started.
But it must continue @PayReviewBodies
The public sector is watching👀. Closely.
RT if you want #PayRestoration

🚨🚨PLAYERS WANTED🚨🚨
The club are still on the lookout for experienced youth players for their U18 teams. With two adult teams also competing in the Herts County League there is also the chance of progression into adult football with the club.

The #pensionstaper is completely not fit for purpose.
It has an inbuilt cliff-edges that can create perverse incentives for high earning medics to not be able to take on addition work without #PayingToWork
If you want to fix #waitinglists @wesstreeting, you need to fix this 👇
THOUGHT FOR THE DAY: many senior doctors desperate to help waiting lists & would be willing to give up evenings/weekends to help out.
But current tax rules will mean some could end up #PayingToWork 👇
RT if you want @wesstreeting @jamesmurray_ldn to fix this ludicrous tax trap
John Bycroft retweeted
We cannot return to a situation where large number of senior doctors risk #PayingToWork
Need government to urgently engage & understand the issues @wesstreeting
When this was a major issue in 2019 👇 the waiting list was 4.51m. Its now 7.61m. Higher earners will need to help
1/ 🚨IMPORTANT: We need to meet again @jamesmurray_ldn @wesstreeting to talk about pension tax. Houston, we have a big problem #PayingToWork #TaperTaxHell
James & Wes would like to talk you through this REAL case study (shared with permission) 👇[& others]

I investigate social media at the BBC. I've repeatedly asked you for an interview. You accuse the media of not holding power to account. I want to ask you questions about your site and its role fanning the flames of UK riots. Will you speak to me?@elonmusk bbc.com/news/articles/cd1e8d…
