Incredible. She is utterly amazing. I have such gratitude for women like her who laid the groundwork for our continued work now. Her memory will be an inspiration. ❤️

This is my mother's obituary in @thetimes.com. (Not my writing!) It's crazy how her life stretched across so much change. RIP.

At CPOC we develop guidelines with multiprofessional input that include recommendations for each stage of the pathway. ➡️Anaemia ➡️Frailty ➡️OSA ➡️Diabetes Guidelines: shorturl.at/2jonl

Thank you to everyone, including Rebecca from @cyclinguk.bsky.social, who braved the rain, and took the time to ride with us tonight on the Eastbourne Glow Ride. We lit up the night with our #RightToGlow, calling for safer cycling for everyone. Because when women can ride freely, we all can.

The rain didn’t dampen our spirits in #Eastbourne at tonight’s Glow Ride. Along with other groups across the country we lit up the night to call for safer streets, better cycling infrastructure, and a future where women and everyone can ride with freedom and confidence. #RightToGlow #MyRideOurRight

Interesting research on attitudes towards & use of e-cargo bikes in the UK. Particularly noteworthy for demonstrating the level of interest in e-cargo bikes nationally and the extent to which they replace car journeys. In a trial in suburban areas over 50% of the distance travelled replaced car use

Getting a few steps in before Active Travel/health conference tomorrow- on my walk to school - a long time ago! still looking glorious in the autumn sundown. Looking forward to catching up with @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social @ianwalker.bsky.social @petedyson.bsky.social @livingstreets.bsky.social

Getting people off the sofas and out of their cars does more to improve their health than any other initiative, so we need to make walking, cycling and public transport easier and more attractive for the least fit people,

“The NHS and healthcare community should lead in calling for improved transport infrastructure, safer driving behaviours, and normalising active travel. Good public transport and active travel can transform neighbourhoods and promote health” @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/390/...

Great talk by Clare Frank about preparation for surgery at #CPOCLeads25. Reduces complications by up to 50%. Resources open access at www.cpoc.org.uk/guidelines-a... @cpoc.bsky.social

This morning Professor Denny Levett CPOC Direct-elect welcomes our Perioperative Leads Network to the #CPOCLEADS25 at the @rcoanews.bsky.social in London. Today we will be going through a programme of rapid presentations from our leads to share best practice in perioperaitve care.

In the UK, only the health cost of road accidents is estimated to be £6bn. There are also social and economic costs that push the bill a lot higher (between £30bn and £42bn). The solution is public transport, cycling and walking infrastructure. It saves lives and money.

"As the new term settles in, let’s work on how to change our communities and encourage healthier habits. We can all do something." Love this from @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social on #SchoolStreets, the need for kids to be more active, and the role of doctors. How was your #BackToSchool week?

The evidence of the negative impact of air pollution keeps growing. We can do something about it. “By lowering our collective exposure to air pollution, we can potentially reduce the risk of developing these devastating neurodegenerative conditions on a population-wide scale.”

Wow. Check this out. Politicians actually trying to solve problems can achieve a lot! www.washingtonpost.com/climate-solu...

Arthritis and cycling? A better match than you think. Cycling can ease stiffness, boost mobility and build strength. Jim thought he’d never ride again – now he’s stronger, steadier and loving the freedom of his bike. 🔗 cyclinguk.org/arthritis-guide

Embedding physical activity into health systems has many wide-ranging benefits. We're proud to have worked closely with our partners, colleagues, & localities across Greater Manchester as we begin to deliver on our commitment as a ‘prevention demonstrator’. Link: www.gmmoving.co.uk/news/new-imp...

This is excellent to see from Sadiq Khan. The evidence is clear on 20mph: “… the number of people killed or seriously injured on London borough roads reduced by 34% following the implementation of 20mph speed limits, with the number of children killed falling by 75% (from four to one).“

Reply from @eastsussexcc.bsky.social says "[This] is not considered to be .. causing a safety issue, as such there are no plans to carry out action at this time" Remember cars park on this narrow space as well. Just restore it back to the original !! 😡🗯️and read LTN 1/20

This link from @cpoc.bsky.social has nice videos from Joe Wicks @thebodycoach.bsky.social for people preparing/waiting for surgery. @jkdhesi.bsky.social @gerisoc.bsky.social @britorthopaedic.bsky.social

"Most fractures [...] due to minor falls, in the presence of osteoporosis [...] There’s a silent & increasing epidemic of osteoporotic fractures" says @scarlettmcnally.bsky.social "need to focus on being patient centred [...] & prevent osteoporotic fractures" www.bmj.com/content/390/...

This length of Edward Rd (overgrown for years !!) is very reminiscent of the many years Bespoke spent trying to convince @eastsussexcc.bsky.social that they should restore their shared path to 3m on Lottbridge Drove( LTN 1/20). Here as in the past have to cut it back to show them.

Its really impressive how casualties have dropped (26%) since Wales implemented its award-winning default 20mph limit for urban/village areas. We publish an updated report on the first 12 months.

Last week we launched our suite on resources on Improving Behaviours in Perioperative Care. These key tools aim to improve team culture, wellbeing, and patient outcomes across periop care. ➡️Online resources hub ➡️Infographic ➡️Poster Find out: shorturl.at/fPhjp

Research by Knight Frank in 2020 found that 22,000 hectares of UK land is car park. How much is cycle parking?

WelshGov releases July 25 report on the first 18 months of the "award winning" default 20mph limit for urban and village roads. Speeds down, 26% fewer casualties and little change in journey times. Lives saved, liveability increased bit.ly/40rfUZl

Compared with those who walked 2,000 steps a day, it found that 7,000 steps was linked to reduced risk of: cardiovascular disease - down 25% cancer - down 6% dementia - down 38% and depression - down 22%

Walking 7,000 steps a day can be enough to boost your brainpower and help protect against a range of different diseases www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...
