The English language has so many different ways to describe somewhere being busy, but the best has got to be “chock-a-block”

British rail travel at its finest: the long concourse wait at London terminals, in position: staring at the departure boards, braced for the fierce rush on announcing the platform - a full 5mins prior to departure. The power of the controller keeping us waiting & releasing that all important number!

If you're given the opportunity today to make someone happy, maybe offer them some encouragement or just help them out, please take it! The world is a challenging place right now, we all need a bit of kindness and compassion, and it change their lives.

It's so important to accept the entire Autistic community. That means: - People diagnosed as a child - People late diagnosed - People who think they might be Autistic, but aren't sure yet - People who don't care about labels - Our fathers, mothers, and grandparents who will never know

Last-minute platform alterations (running between three platforms) for a packed last train at Birmingham New Street are the worst. Happy Saturday!

NHS colleagues: this is a national survey, exploring the usability of Electronic Patient Record (EPR) systems in practice. If you use an EPR system as part of your role, please consider taking part - and share how you think our systems can be optimised to improve efficiency. #DigitalHealth

Fascinating research topic. If you’re a UK resident and autistic, you might want to consider participating in this survey.

So much work done by GP practices is unseen The media focus purely on appointments - 30 million a month & up 5 million since 2019 Imagine if appts are up 20% what is going on behind the scenes All this with 20% £/patient since 2016 in real terms cuts #MedSky #RCGP #GeneralPractice #NHS #TeamGP

Back from celebrating my birthday a few days early with a trip to the cinema to see ‘Paddington in Peru’ this evening. It was a great film; his legendary character’s charisma and kindness continues to shine bright, but I forgot the memo of mandatory duffle coat and marmalade sandwiches! 🤦🏻‍♂️🇬🇧
