I added my name to demand real action from the UK government – not just words - to protect civilians and humanitarian workers in Gaza with @dotwuk.bsky.social. 💙 Please take a minute to do the same. petition.doctorsoftheworld.org.uk/page/171651/...

It truly pains me to see this news, but sadly it backs up my longheld view that an opt out system was not the answer www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Very interesting to look at the list of MPs who chose to vote against the decriminalisation of abortion.

Well payed, Harvard, well played. Harvard offers FREE American Government course.

NEW: The Trump administration pulled funding for research to protect pregnant women from domestic violence, citing it as a “DEI” initiative.

My dear friend’s niece, who in October developed sepsis when a Georgia hospital refused her a D&C after a miscarriage, will be taken off life support tomorrow. I don’t know the names of the countless others who have suffered and will suffered because of anti-abortion laws. But her name was Haley.

Amazing day @bsmsmedschool.bsky.social today discussing how best to convey the learning from the UK Infected Blood Inquiry. Thank you to all our guests for their powerful & thought provoking contributions. Such a privilege to sit alongside you.

The obsession of #r4today regarding private school fees should be contrasted with their complete indifference regarding the 3,000 or so food banks now needed to feed the working poor.

So proud of my much adored sister in law who was the producer of this TV gem and put nine months hard work into brightening so many people’s Christmas. Well done Sal !

Well done and thank you to the choir raising money for St Catherine’s Hospice Crawley at Victoria Station this evening. So pleased to support you.

How many children’s lives has the measles vaccine saved in 50 years? Around 90 million. Important to remind ourselves that vaccines save lives ourworldindata.org/data-insight... @ourworldindata.org

I listened to the whole debate today and was struck by the mutual respect shown, the avoidance of irrelevant politicking (with the notable exception of Robert Jenrick) & the willingness of parliamentarians to take on the heavy responsibility asked of them. The conversation can continue.

Lovely evening celebrating the launch of Mark Ward’s book ‘Bleeding Fabulous’. Great to see such solidarity and celebration by the haemophilia community.

The lack of shame & embarrassment expressed by those MPs relying heavily on the current state of palliative care provision in this country as a reason for opposing the bill is striking. We were world leaders in palliative care yet its funding has never been prioritised. MPs could have changed this.

Poignant that I pick up this news on my way to a meeting at the Royal Society of Medicine co-hosted by their Palliative Care and Psychiatry sections

I always appreciated Prof Bishop’s contribution in the other place, would be great to see her here.

It’s days like today one misses the established sense of community built up over many years in the other place. It will come, but for now it’s hard to reach out to colleagues at Sussex University dealing with yesterday’s announcement of a voluntary severance scheme.

RIP Judith Jamison “The point is to have a connection with your soul,”

I feel I need Jenny Eclair on here. Can anyone give her a friendly nudge?

I'm really excited about this one. We've opened a new @britishacademy.bsky.social call offering up to £150k for researchers to work with peers around the world to strengthen evidence informed policymaking in different contexts. Deadline 19th Feb. www.thebritishacademy.ac.uk/funding/evid...

Many commentators say that vigilante groups are never the answer. But they clearly don't know about the masked Ecuadorian trio named “Acción Ortográfica Quito,” who roam the streets at night with a singular purpose: to correct all the spelling and grammar mistakes they find in graffiti.
