📢📢 New publication alert 📢📢

Too often low childhood vaccination uptake is blamed on parents

But navigating the system can be far harder than it should be

Here I share my experience of barriers trying to access vaccinations in London

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"Vaccine hesitancy matters, but barriers to access are being systematically overlooked."

Systemic weaknesses lost the UK its measles elimination status

Pleased to share our paper *just out* in @GHJournal, “Towards multilingualism in global health”

Addressing language barriers in global health has the potential to improve access and participation to the field. It's time for change!

Conducting research in LMICs is undeniably challenging, with brain drain often surpassing reverse brain drain. Grateful to
@NatureRevMicro for the opportunity to share an opinion discussing both the difficulties and rewards of working in this space. https://t.co/jzbdNGYjxr [1/2]

[Dr Peter Prinsley MP @PeterPrinsley]

With universities unable to afford them, clinical academics across the country are being offered redundancy.

These are the people who teach our doctors and conduct ground breaking research.

More must be done to support them.

"Time to invest in #cholera" @TheLancet eClinicalMedicine: global health leaders reflect on the worldwide surge in cholera cases

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

Cholera kills thousands annually, yet it’s entirely preventable. So why isn’t it a priority?

Our article in @eClinicalMed dives into the urgent need for investment

Top work @marksandspencer

Girls vs Boys clothes wording…

“Ditsy floral” vs “Stormwear dino”

No prizes for which is which…

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

@campbellclaret would love to hear you challenging him on this…!!

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

@RoryStewartUK on @RestIsPolitics suggests GPs did not want to adopt video call appointments because they resist change for the sake of resisting it. Says they did accept telephone consults

You completely omit the horrendously bad IT system which exists 1/2

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

2/2 Which means PCs take 10-15 mins to load up

Also shows your lack of understanding of how medical assessments work - yes sometimes phone/video call might work but often f:f required for full assessment

Also misses difficulty some pts face using technology & poor internet

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

Surely the reform needed to reduce (eliminate?) the gender pay gap

@RestIsPolitics @TheNewsAgents

[The Guardian @guardian]

Finnish fathers taking nearly double length of paternity leave since 2022 reform https://t.co/pKNWgBLdhT

@chewapreecha Fantastic, very well done!!!

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

Statutory maternity pay is lower than the level at which pensioners are about to lose their #WinterFuelAllowance

To suggest it’s “too much” is insulting & the gutter of dog whistle politics on every level. What is @KemiBadenoch on?

@maitlis @lewis_goodall @jonsopel I mean, it is literally this but for politicians

https://t.co/2waA7sRPph

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

Surprised at the coverage of the Keir Starmer/Waheed Ali donations on @TheNewsAgents

Surely it is equivocal to doctors not being allowed to accept drug company hospitality, something banned years ago as research showed it influenced prescribing practice subconsciously…?

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

To describe it as “accepting something from a mate” seems a stretch - unless it’s normal for “mates” to give you thousands of ££ to help you in your career (if that is indeed what we’re saying the “donations” are)

@maitlis @lewis_goodall @jonsopel

[Becky Stout @BeckyStout8]

I would *love* to understand how I have a “stranglehold” on the nhs. There are so many areas crying out for reform but no one ever asks the people actually working in the system how it could be improved.

@bbcnickrobinson @amolrajan

[BBC Radio 4 Today @BBCr4today]

"The medical profession is locked into a way of life... they are deeply conservative."

Leading clinician Prof Sir John Bell tells @amolrajan and @bbcnickrobinson that Wes Streeting will have to face down the British Medical Association to reform the NHS.
