#WorldNoTobaccoDay It is time for supermarkets in the UK to give up selling tobacco products. The retailers are just as bad, and kill just as many people, as the manufacturers, and should be treated with the same disdain.

16th May every year is World Barrett's Day. Barrett's Oesophagus is a precursor condition to cancer of the oesophagus but unfortunately, large sections of society are unaware of the condition. Better knowledge and awareness could save their lives. #WBD #WorldBarrettsDay

With a strong focus on prevention and continued improvements to screening we could radically reduce deaths from bowel cancer in the future.

@SARONG_Trial @MarkarSheraz Brilliant! Well done.

[SARONG OG @SARONG_Trial]

A major milestone for SARONG! 🎉Recruitment is now closed with a total of 9⃣7⃣4⃣ participants. Enormous thanks to the PIs, their research teams, and the patients whose commitment made this study possible. We look forward to the next phase of the study @MarkarSheraz

[Jill Clark @1JillClark]

April is #BowelCancerAwarenessMonth. Over 17,000 people die p.a. in the UK from this disease, in spite of screening and improved diagnostics. 54% of bowel cancer deaths are preventable at population level. So why do so many people die from the disease?

Yesterday was World Hearing Day. I am a hearing aid wearer and if I did not have them it would be impossible for me to do my job. 18 million people have hearing loss in the UK, yet many people continue to ignore the symptoms. Please speak to your GP if you have any symptoms.

[British Liver Trust @LiverTrust]

"When I was diagnosed with primary biliary cholangitis at 37 I felt so alone. I’ve since been saved twice with a liver transplant, but it’s tough and it’s heavy. There are multiple doctors’ appointments, weekly blood tests, travelling to a hospital far away and getting time off work… but it’s given me the opportunity to raise awareness, educate people and support others in a similar situation. And the British Liver Trust’s patient information, patient stories and support groups have put me in a place of safety and helped me feel supported."

Important for hospital doctors to review the latest updates to the NICE guidelines on type 2 diabetes.

Almost everyone will now start off on modified release metformin and generic dapaglifozin. @acutemedicine
