"Inevitably, Trump’s team believe themselves to be the good guys: defenders of free speech and open debate, standing defiantly against the tyrannical rule of medical journals and their fiendishly “woke” editors. The truth indeed is stranger than fiction; dystopia is reality."

‘Kennedy told reporters that there were "many, many good ways to treat measles and doctors need to know that and to know those methods.’ One problem; there is no treatment for measles. Signed, a doctor who’s been forced to deal with measles because of this stupid fraud.

substack.com/@politicsusa... This is a really moving speech by a child with autism who is calling for teachers and pupils to learn and know more about autism and other disabilities. He is calling out the lies spoken by RFK Jr. This child is wonderful.

What can be done to prevent adverse childhood experiences? Follow the link for the short editorial I wrote for 'Nursing Children and Young People'. There is still so much we need to do for children and young people. rcni.com/nursing-chil... @abpn-childnurse.bsky.social

Nursing fatigue is a public safety emergency. The only route to protecting patients and staff is to invest in nursing to fill vacancies and reduce workloads. This must happen without delay, starting with a fair pay award for NHS staff.

@abpn-childnurse.bsky.social Interesting PPI webinars

@abpn-childnurse.bsky.social This looks like a great series of webinars.

And with huge insights from @carrolenitan.bsky.social who is able to navigate so many different research approaches and ensure that research is clinically grounded and relevant.

It’s so good to see Courtney Franklin’s paper published. It’s a great PhD paper addressing assumptions about why parents attend ED for paediatric fever. Couldn’t be more proud-she has embraced creative qualitative work - a big jump for a mathematician. bmjpaedsopen.bmj.com/content/8/1/...

Globally, children are being subjected to harmful restraint and seclusion in schools—practices that have led to complex trauma, death, and even suicide. No child should face this. It’s time to end these practices and protect our kids. #AgainstRestraint againstrestraint.com/2021/08/09/r...

Oh man, having thoroughly enjoyed Titanium Noir by Nick Harkaway (only complaint: it ended - more please) I'm now onto his novel Angelmaker, and I'm enjoying this even more. Somehow reminiscent of Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, and magnificently read, nay, performed by Daniel Weyman.
