Absolutely horrified to hear this. I worked in the School of Nursing as an Associate Lecturer. ALL the staff are amazing and dedicated to training future nurses. How is Wales going to train the next generation if this goes?? its a shocking decision Sign the Petition

Important information on GLP agonists (#Ozempic etc) and surgery. Slowing of stomach action may mean there is still food in the stomach six hours after a meal. Glad to see there are still very few reports of aspiration. Stopping the drug probably not the answer either. www.gov.uk/drug-safety-...

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK. You are the health secretary. Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that? Or are dying people not enough of a priority?

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

I came upon this programme whilst zapping through channels and it should be compulsory viewing. We are, it explains, at the same place as we were with tobacco on 80/90s. Irresistible: Why We Can’t Stop Eating: www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/m0025gqs via @bbciplayer

‘A matter of life and death’ is on bbc2 right now And on iPlayer If you haven’t seen it, and you love films- please watch it Made in 1946, it’s one of the best films ever made. Powell and Pressburger at their finest

While we’re talking about end of life care, I found this quite difficult as a junior doctor. I evolved a series of strategies for how to cope in this situation. Some of those tips are written down in a blog from a few yrs ago. Link ⬇️⬇️ #EOLC sharingandlearningonline.wordpress.com/end-of-life-...

Victoria Derbyshire nails Jeremy Clarkson over his Inheritance Tax scam. Hilarious to watch him squirm.

Umm. This is like first day at school. I’ve joined up

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️

As predictable as Oxford street Christmas lights being switched on NHSE promising more beds for winter. Hence my seasonal greeting Who is going to staff them?

I would love to tell you about the times vaccines prevented me from getting sick, but every time it happens, I don’t notice. I just keep feeling well. Neither do you. Public health, when it’s working, is invisible.

If you need a little lift this evening, I just heard that National Trust colleagues are installing hedgehog ramps inside cattle grids so if you’re small and prickly and you accidentally go in, you can accelerate out again. Idea & image c/o the British Hedgehog Preservation Society.

I’m not going to leave X just yet - I hate that sense of being driven away from a place I used to love. But after one day on here, I already know how much prefer it. So if you see this and would be kind enough to share it to let people find me, that would be hugely appreciated. Thank you.

It feels like we've gone off to colonise a nice new planet!

🧪Female doctors had 2-3x higher survival rates for heart patients vs male docs. Up to 32K lives could be saved if male docs learned to treat women better. Cardiologist Marianne Legato and patient advocate Carolyn Thomas are working to fix this disparity. buff.ly/4g7FVm3
