Very excited today! Getting the @asthmalunguk offices ready to welcome Lung Research and Innovation Group for what promises to be a productive discussion on the future of respiratory research funding.
"Care has implicit worth—we will continue to experience the problems we currently see if we fail to grasp that fact."
We must invest in the social care workforce or risk the collapse of the whole healthcare system, write @adamgordon1978 and @AndrewElder

This challenge by @donberwick to the profit motive in US healthcare
It also is a warning to other healthcare systems, such as the #NHS

Journalists are asking the union-bashing question ‘Are patients safe in hospital this week?’ when what they should be asking is ‘Are patients ever safe in hospital now as a result of government under-funding?’ NHS staff are the only responsible people here. The government is not.
We're proud to have worked with @DrAzizSheikh who's team at @EdinUniUsher are developing a risk calculator to predict who is most likely to be hospitalised with respiratory infections. This research will help reduce pressure on the #NHS and save lives. https://t.co/oVcC3QK0uH

Sajid Javid says we need to pay £20 for a GP appointment and £66 to go to A&E as a way to solve the NHS funding crisis. He’s wrong because there are so many better options in my new report on funding the NHS. A thread…..
If you're having a suspected heart attack or stroke, on avg based on December's data, it will take an hour and half for paramedics to get you. 10% will wait 3 hours and 30 minutes. Absolute disaster for anyone falling ill or having a serious injury in Britain.
The con is to believe the tax-based NHS system is somehow broken and that a new way of paying for healthcare will fix it. There is no cheaper way. Nothing the govt has planned costs less. The public always pay for healthcare.
Let me explain…
Is it just me or has the U.K. govt’s refusal to negotiate at all with NHS staff just really shone a light on their decade long orchestrated destruction of our only healthcare system?
