Andrew Pollard nails it again: The UK's NHS has transformed healthcare by training clinical research leaders, but they must have protected time to deliver. This cannot be achieved while doctors and nurses are drowning in a chronically understaffed system. https://t.co/CrPyn3JRro

I end this piece with a list of 60 black British women novelists writing across genres, many of them debuts & the majority are not well-known. Look them up and see if they're for you, your reading group, your friends, different gens of your family. #Vogue https://t.co/bMRYDek8jL

This is such an honest, emotional & powerful account of being diagnosed with #Epilepsy & how family, friends, school & health services all need to support both physical & #mentalhealth. Thanks to @Epilepsy_12 Youth Advocates for sharing this with @MedsForChildren #PurpleDay

Don't forget to give @PLR_UK some love (& make sure you're registered with them too) for paying you for library loans. They are government-funded so we're always campaigning for this fund to be increased 📚 People often get us confused but we can't take credit for all they do!

A Happy @ALCS_UK day to all our members and those of you thinking of joining. Beyond important that we can support current writers and the next generation following in your footsteps. Creativity and authorship need to be funded and your rights matter.

Happy @ALCS_UK Day fellow freelance writers!!
Great to know that not only are people reading my words, they're photocopying them too! Big thanks to all those working away to secure our secondary rights fees & writers, if you're not signed up, make it top of today's to do list!

[Jo Revill @8jorev]

Authors, illustrators and other creators must be able to earn a living from their work, and it's good to see the government acknowledge the importance of the creative industries to the economy. ALCS' work is central to this endeavour.

#Budget2023

Not everything we wanted for writers but some encouraging steps for the wider sector that we hope filter down:

📽️ Increased tax relief rate for film & TV productions
🤡 Support for the children’s TV & animation sector, with higher relief

“Writing in itself cannot sustain an income that is consistent with a minimum wage”
The past 15 years have seen a sustained fall in professional writers’ income from writing; this decline of around 60% has pushed median earnings down to minimum wage levels

There are a number of winter viruses circulating at the moment.

If your child is feeling unwell @AlderHey has an online symptom checker, which will give you advice on whether you can treat symptoms at home or need to seek treatment.
