Right, it was a busy Twitter day yesterday with far too much conflict but today I’m at a Remembrance Day service, so normal Twitter service is on pause. Thinking about my grandfather who served in the RAF and who refused to collect his medals because not a single one of his friends made it home to collect theirs. To those who serve, we owe you a debt. To those in conflict, especially in Ukraine, I stand with you. And in memory of the dead, I wish the world were doing better to live up to your sacrifice.

I know Russell Brand wasn’t found guilty of all charges but MY GOD the women who gave evidence were amazing. They wouldn’t be shamed or bullied. Something really snapped in them. I heard it. So many women who never got justice are standing and cheering for you today. ❤️

So today a little bit of my faith in the justice system has been renewed-
- took too long
- too many people suffered
- comments on media that it was unjust show lack of understanding
For me- it’s a start
Too little too late
But a start
❤️to the women affected- so brave x

Flu can be a serious illness, especially for vulnerable people.
UK CMOs urge eligible groups to get vaccinated.
Healthcare workers have a professional responsibility to protect patients from infectious diseases. We urge them to take up flu vaccination.

RIP, Esther Rantzen. Famous for, among many many many things, that incredible clip of Nicholas Winton, the man who saved 669 children in World War II, keeping it secret for 50 years, until his wife found the scrapbook documenting it.

Are they though? Talk to me about the current toll of on call rotas with emergency planning teams of two. Did you just totally lean into the “Skyfall effect” because I think you did….

My OH, not often one fir discussing feelings and who lost his dad when he was 19, said last night something along the lines of grief isn’t something you do, or get over, it’s something you make peace with. Adjust to, live alongside. Wise.

In GP - cases that presented as “simple” symptoms:
“Tummy bug” ➡️ brain tumour
“Runny nose” ➡️ sepsis in newborn
“Bit of a headache” ➡️ meningitis
“Just a little rash” ➡️ skin cancer
I’ve been a doctor for 20 yrs -
**Simple symptoms do NOT equal simple diagnoses**

Oh sweet lord, did you just say matches and candles 🕯️ @wesstreeting - we have literally spent 5 years educating people not to have these. It’s even on all the preparedness advice sites

This simple concept has probably done more for education of children world wide than any other political intervention
Amazing and long may it continue

Sleep deprivation can cause psychosis, medications can cause psychosis, bipolar can cause psychosis, PPP while rare, includes psychosis, but because she looked “normal” she couldn’t be in psychosis #lindsayclancy

Just been going back over my obesity and women’s health work over my career.
Which is extra to my usual GP job
No wonder I am bloody tired!
Long covid is an added joy 🙄
But I am very lucky to be able to do what I love and teach healthcare professionals and make life better for patients.
