BBC's Arabic radio service in Lebanon closed after 85 years as part of a £28.5m savings drive. 'Just months later, in October 2023, the Russian state-owned Sputnik news agency took over the frequency. Its news bulletin opened with “This is Moscow”, replacing the previous “This is London” intro.' 🙄

The Chancellor did not need to concentrate so much of her fiscal consolidation on welfare. Extending the freeze in personal tax thresholds by just a single year would have saved almost as much (£3.9 billion in 2029-30) and would have been shared much more widely across 24 million households.

Today we repaired 14 hernias. Started on time, finished on time. Even stopped briefly for lunch. One operating theatre, no expensive technology. Last list for a while as all extra sessions to reduce waiting lists have been stopped for now due to lack of money. #nhs #waitinglists

Professionals, please read this super important piece on #Oxevision, watch the short but important video and, ideally, consider retweeting and follow @StopOxevision ’s tweet. It’s a scandal that is incredibly important to us as patients and we need the professional community to get it🙏.

2012-2022 saw a 65% increase in children admitted with mental health concerns. There has been over 500% increase in admissions for CYP with eating disorders in the same time period. This is THE health crisis of our time, and it is barely making the news. #KidsMH www.rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/...

Corridor care should not be normalised & without reform & investment outside hospitals the choice to not normalise it will mean closing EDs when capacity is reached &/ or discharging those waiting for (non existent) beds elsewhere into the care of other authorities who have nowhere for them to go?

Everyone with even a smidgeon of clinical training can see that this scenario is completely barking mad (expensive, wasteful, unnecessary, inappropriate) Are there no doctors at all left at NHSE? Is no-one talking to them now? Deeply embarrassing.

Essential to invest in nurturing specialty doctors including the working conditions, access to training & opportunities . For many services, they are a backbone of provision & commitment.
