Humour is a versatile teaching tool, @bamaengineering and @C21U’s @peteludovice explains on #THECampus. It’s fun, it makes a lecturer approachable, helps make complex concepts relatable, shifts cognitive load, and encourages innovation in the classroom

British farming needs your help. Farmers are leaving the business - supermarket behaviour is a leading cause. We're calling for change & asking supermarkets to get fair about farming. Help save British family farms by signing the petition: https://t.co/Y0G59PsrgY.
New cycle, new faces 🌹
A 14-strong Vitality Roses squad, including seven potential debutants, has been named for the upcoming series vs. @SilverFernsNZ 💪
ℹ Members of the Netball World Cup playing group and staff will take a planned break.
Hello , you know when I say 'You couldn't make it up . . . you don't have to' . . . well this time it's more like 'You couldn't make it up . . . because we are being thoroughly shat upon by the water companies and the government'

“The work that schools are doing - feeding hungry children - while hugely valuable, is not sustainable, and is merely papering over the cracks of a deeply unequal society”: my comments on behalf of @ASCL_UK: https://t.co/qSAHkGuSr7
NHS Consultants Strike Today
I support them; they take on untold amounts of responsibility and stress
They are who I and the entire country turn to when we need the best expert advice and care available
They are irreplaceable
Pay them properly @SteveBarclay
We fully support @actiononsugar’s call for companies to reserve child-appealing packaging for their healthy products. If we want a healthier future for our kids, we need bold action now! #HealthyEating#ChildHealth#FoodPolicy

And you thought the 'planned' - 'organisational covered' strikes were bad... MH sick days taken at a drop of the hat, unplanned, the only organisational cover is to buy bank staff to fill or simply work a team member down. This is why strikes matter - this needs fixing ❤️🙏❤️🩹
6,000,000.
That's how many mental health sick days were taken in our NHS, last year - more than for any other illness.
Our NHS staff deserve so much better.
It is great news @SteveBarclay that patients access healthcare quicker and hopefully have better health outcomes.
Eight of these are "Private sector-led"
Why is 61.53% going to private companies?
Private sector-led:
Thurrock CDC (Southend), Southend
Northampton CDC, Northampton
South Birmingham CDC, Highter’s Heath, Birmingham
Camborne and Redruth CDC, Redruth
Devon and Torbay CDC, Torbay
East Somerset CDC, Yeovil
North Bristol CDC, Bristol
Weston CDC, Weston-Super-Mare
NHS-led:
Barking CDC (St George’s), Hornchurch
Grantham CDC (Skegness), Skegness
Lincoln CDC, Lincoln
Nottingham City CDC, Nottingham City
Stoke-on-Trent CDC, Hanley, Stoke-on-Trent
I thought the @Conservatives believed in the #NHS
How many of the existing 114 are private sector-led.
After the VIP Lane scandals, why had the @DHSCgovuk allowed a new procurement system that give NHS commissioners more freedom to purchase services without what it called ‘unnecessary levels of competitive tendering and barriers to integrating care’, following the abolition of section 75 regulations from Health and Social Care Act.
Why has @NHSEngland increased its use of the independent sector ‘by more than a third since April 2021’, with them ‘carrying out 90,000 appointments and procedures and more than 10,000 diagnostic tests every week’.
Why are so many next milestones in the recovery plan from @dhsc & @NHSEngland about privatisation of our #NHS by the backdoor.
You tell us how much the #NHS is costing, that it is a struggle to find salaries increase for Doctors and Nurses, how hard it is to retain staff, the cost of training, let you give lucrative contracts to private companies who take staff from OUR #NHS
How can people feeding at the trough of Private Healthcare, vote on the #NHS

The #NHS has value to us, the voters of this country

Three arrested after hundreds of school kids cause chaos in city centre. If only those nasty teachers had let them go to the toilet & not insisted that they say ‘hello’! https://t.co/s7h8N3EacM
08:30 I have had 7 whole school emails which need eyes on them for various reasons, 1 whole school briefing, 4 TEAMS messages... Nevermind cover lists, changes to class groups (told this AM of s's out) , printer refuels and SEND updates. Welcome to Monday #edutwitter#ecf#ECT
Behold #PeacockOre – a dazzling delight of nature. The colours dance & shift as you move it around. It's a beautiful blend of copper & iron sulfides, chemically Cu5FeS4. Easily one of the most enchanting ores out there. #Minerals#Geology
On #MenstrualHygieneDay, we're highlighting @EnglandNetball's NetballHER campaign.
It has expert resources, practical support and game-changing learning offers, to support with women and girls on topics like the menstrual cycle.

Ever since Ma came out of ITU back in Feb- to be home with Baba?
Come what may…..I have phoned them every day
Even if it was to check the weather
If you still have parents (& have a relation?)
Pick up that phone
And call
You never know when it’s the last time ❤️
Do it x
Dear 🇬🇧,
Just finished a night shift in A&E and feeling wrecked. If you have a job that has a "going home checklist" like this, you deserve better pay and conditions. Full stop.
