I took paracetamol in both my pregnancies for minor joint troubles. I had a better pregnancy experience because I wasn't in pain. Neither of my kids is autistic. The high-quality studies and reviews confirm there is NO evidence that paracetamol taken by the mother causes autism in the child. 🧪

Not often that @erictopol.bsky.social posts about one of our papers! The ESC Consensus statement for Long #COVID We reviewed the evidence & reached a consensus on a diagnostic algorithm, intervention, vaccines, cardiac rehab, sports participation. Worrh a Read academic.oup.com/eurjpc/advan...

30 years since this happened (28 since I wrote about it). I still recall that wonderful tree and the generosity of my patient in her final illness. www.bmj.com/content/315/...

Laughable as this is, the reality is that many will take it at face value. Many more who are undecided will hesitate further. The upshot being that kids will get ill, disease will spread, and decades of hard-earned public health gains will be lost. It is a shameful, callous act. Heartbreaking.

Thanks for joining us and sharing your insights on nursing as a safety-critical workforce, Prof. Leary!

It's astonishing to me that so much healthcare policy fails to take on board subject matter expertise or engaging the workforce in design or implementation and still expect success www.nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/...

I often worry about the future of #nursing because working conditions are quite poor now it won't attract people. But I spent this week #RCN25 with bright, intelligent, compassionate next generation #nurses willing to advocate for patients & professionals. it's really given me hope. Thank you!

Happy #InternationalNursesDay everyone! I want to join so many others around the world to say thank you to nursing staff everywhere. I see the immense contribution you make every day, and as RCN President I will work tirelessly to ensure you get the recognition you deserve.

Professor Nicola Ranger has told delegates at #RCN25 that for nursing to be properly valued as a profession, it must have a pathway to progression. Too many nurses start and finish their career on the same band.

Professor Nicola Ranger, General Secretary & Chief Executive, is delivering her keynote address to thousands of members at #RCN25 today. She will tell our internationally educated members what the RCN is demanding the UK government do to properly value their contribution to health and care services.

Nursing staff make the best moments of someone’s life possible, and the worst moments bearable. Join us in celebrating nursing staff everywhere – watch and share our film, and tell us why you agree nursing is worth fighting for. #InternationalNursesDay #NursesDay rcn.org.uk/nursesday

Masks work. Lockdowns work. Vaccines work. Vaccines don’t cause autism. Ivermectin is for parasite-infested horses. Pass it on.

My father spent his final 3 years in an Elderly Mentally Infirm home. The care staff were from Uganda and worked impressively as a team. Dad received truly excellent care which retained his dignity and love of life despite worsening dementia. They came to his funeral, sang beautifully, hugged us. 😢
