We've written to NHS England with concerns about inadequate planning ahead of possible strike action later this week.
Attempts to run non-urgent services with fewer doctors risk patient safety. It's imperative that Trusts postpone work to protect urgent and emergency care.

‘Equity in organ donation & transplantation is an aspirational dream unless there is proportionate resource investment based upon need, and building of trust with communities’
Thanks @ESOTtransplant #ESOTcongress for invitation to share @uniofbeds research @NHSBT @NHS_RHO

A few months prior to 17-year-old Ben’s untimely passing he had spoken with his mum Vicki about his #organdonation decisions. Therefore, knowing Ben’s donation decision, it was made a little easier for Vicki to agree to donation.

[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints @Ch_JesusChrist]

A recently released streaming series presents a fictionalized interpretation of events in mid-19th century Utah. While historical fiction can be illuminating, this drama is dangerously misleading.

Brigham Young, a revered prophet and courageous pioneer, is, by any historical standard, egregiously mischaracterized as a villainous, violent fanatic. Other individuals and groups are also depicted in ways that reinforce stereotypes that are both inaccurate and harmful.

As to the Mountain Meadows Massacre, which the series inaccurately portrays as reflective of a whole faith group, the Church has long acknowledged and condemned this horrific tragedy. It has also taken significant steps to uncover and share the full truth of what happened and promote healing.

The problem with such deceptive, graphic and sensationalized storytelling is that it not only obscures reality and hinders genuine understanding but can foster animosity, hate and even violence. This is particularly troubling today when peacemakers are needed more than ever. At a time when so many responsible leaders are condemning the division and hostility that dominate so much of our public discourse, we echo the plea of President Russell M. Nelson: “The Savior’s message is clear: His true disciples build, lift, encourage, persuade, and inspire—no matter how difficult the situation. True disciples of Jesus Christ are peacemakers. … Peacemaking is a choice. … I urge you to choose to be a peacemaker, now and always.”

This sentiment, shared across many traditions, is resonating around the world today. It is the prophetic message of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints—a message of peace that all the modern prophets have shared, including Brigham Young.

proud of @BritzerV research in India to improve #organdonation rates ‘after-life beliefs, funeral ritual practices, & lack of knowledge regarding their religion’s position toward deceased organ donation created tension & ambiguity in the decision-making’ https://t.co/oA56JunMZK
