As sick leave costs spiral, European states move to cut benefits by @juliadoubleday.bsky.social www.thegauntlet.news/p/as-sick-le...

It's clear. Nigel Farage and his Reform bootlickers will never stand up for Britain if it means standing up to Donald Trump.

Man I feel like an underrated part of why I’m so anxious is the fact that I have to track like 4-5 mediums of communication all the time. Getting mail once a day and then your phone ringing if somebody needs something? Seems incredible

🚨 NO UK PUBLIC HEALTH MINISTER Public health isn’t optional. Clinically Vulnerable people can’t wait. This role must be filled urgently. Leadership matters. Repost if you agree!

We HAVE to stand up for NHS Whistleblowers - because one day this could be any of us…. we all know there is a long and illustrious history of the NHS forcing people out who stand up for patient safety.

This feels very important. NHS Trust chair forced about after raising very important issues? What is going on here? Please share www.crowdjustice.com/case/hold-nh...

Remembering David Bowie 👨‍🎤

The Doctors Association say there are 3,500 unemployed GPs Why isn't Wes Streeting hiring these GPs? And why are GP practices being filled with PAs instead of GPs? What's going on?

“Will the Prime Minister work with us to bring in long overdue reforms of party funding so that power in this country lies with the voters & not wealthy overseas oligarch’s?” - Ed Davey “Of course we are looking at the question of funding more generally” - Keir Starmer #PMQs

Excellent newsletter from @stephenkb.bsky.social this morning on the strange schools bill announced before Christmas. My question on the reduction in academy freedoms is "what problem is it trying to solve"? www.ft.com/content/221a...

Song of the Day: Heroes by David Bowie From his incredible Berlin period. "We could be heroes just for one day." Is it just me or did the world go hell the day Bowie left us? www.youtube.com/watch?v=qN1k...

Dear network, traditional channels have not worked so I’m giving it a shot here: I am looking for a collaborator who works on behavioral fronto-temporal dementia (bvFTD). I’m happy to share details in messages. Thank you so much for sharing and/or any leads.

It also makes it harder for them to ban books.

True luxury is found in the simplest moments.

www.bmj.com/content/387/... Editor of British Medical Journal weighs in on the Royal College of Physicians governance fiasco. Warns that the General Medical Council is sailing into the same stormy waters.

I hope that in the middle of all that concern about the covid/flu/RSV/Noro quaddemic, someone's keeping an eye on Mpox. 😣

Another reminder: Respiratory infections spread mainly through the air. That’s why they affect the lungs. Masks, worn correctly and consistently, reduce the spread of respiratory infections. Respirators work better than masks. Washing hands isn’t wrong, but it won’t stop airborne transmission.

One thing I didn’t expect in the wake of the CEO shooting is the sudden attention on health insurance policy. I have seen this video and the BCBS policy itself go viral on almost every platform. People are waking up. Real lasting change in healthcare is coming. youtube.com/shorts/vWA2a...

Remember when a bunch of researchers warned everyone that letting an airborne disease rip all year long would destroy healthcare as we know it? When insurance companies try to skip out on the anesthesia bill, that's what it looks like.

Oh my goodness... Having a pet toy bear named after you is one thing.. A whole poem from a mum who has a #t1diabetes kid? A whole new level of emotion It has been & is a privilege to serve such an incredible community December will be a tough month... I hope She sees this -wherever she is ❤️

Wow. This Boris Johnson column about Gregg Wallace is absolutely wild.

Aargh. So here we are again with a government white paper about bullying <checks notes> sorry, encouraging people who are long term sick into work. Let's break some of this malicious incompetence down into bite sized chunks so we can understand it... www.gov.uk/government/n...
