My amazing pal & @LaganDragons club captain Kaz Dougan, along with Sir Chris Hoy and many others with stage 4 cancer, is fundraising for cancer charities via @tour_de_4 to also highlight living full lives with stage 4 cancer. Please consider donating. gofund.me/217e43130

I am running London Marathon in 1 month. I know I am privileged, having had cancer 16 years ago. I am running for Marie Curie - we all know someone whose passing was eased by their amazing care. Grateful for any donations, which go directly to Marie Curie.

We had the best morning.
Friends all brought together by cancer.

@Ryanair I have just been made to pay £75 to take this almost empty cabin bag home from Stansted to Belfast. It is a soft shell but James did not accept that when lying flat the shell would naturally fall lower and kept telling me it was “unsafe”. Do better please

Medicine is difficult! Standing over my 46 years of clinical practice, I couldn't agree more...

This is, I believe, unprecedented in the history of UK medicine.
28 eminent UK doctors have written publicly to @LaylaMoran, the new chair of @CommonsHealth, to report something nothing less than scandalous.
Read their letter here (1/n) 👇

Good luck! This week represents the culmination of much hard work and planning, and also regular training with competition provided by yourself and your OB Tuesday night crew. The standard may be (even?) higher in Italy.. Watching that space. #livingbestlives

The Chat, Cake & Craic are terrific.

What a coincidence!
Today, on National Grateful Patients Day, @Jake___Wood featured a story about my oncologist, @KLCRFD @BelfastTrust, providing support to me and other cancer patients as part of @cancer5kYourWay initiative. 🙏 to him and all other @5kYWBelfast ambassadors.
Statistics from Parkrun show that Northern Ireland has the highest level of participation when compared to the rest of the UK and the Republic of Ireland. @Queens_parkrun @BelfastRunClub 🌈🏃♀️🏃♀️ bbc.com/news/articles/czdpmj…

Day 5 of asking.
Hello @gmcuk.
Your public consultation on your intended regulation of physician associates closed on 9 May.
Why haven’t the results been shared with the public?
Please do so.

v. informative re furore about Physician Associates, planned decrease of medical posts top to bottom & impact on NHS 'ecosystem'. Scary for us patients. Driving qualified docs out of UK - (or into private health) & hollow out NHS. Will new HMG stop this? newstatesman.com/politics/he…

THREAD: I asked what the point of Public Inquiries is for @bmj_latest
We've spent hundreds of millions of £ on Inquiries over last decades, generating deep understanding of failures & 1000s of recommendations.
But v few recommendations get implemented!
What is going on?

Sandi is fundraising for PIPS Belfast, who support those affected by suicide. She is running Belfast Half Marathon in September, in memory of my nephew Kevin, who died in July, far too young. Check out her @JustGiving & please donate if you can. Thank you! justgiving.com/page/sandi-mc…
