Let's not forget that palliative care services in this country are largely funded by charitable donations. Maybe contrast that with how assisted dying will be funded.

@lucygoss I also received this and find it really obnoxious

@BBCNews Your article today states energy prices will increase by "about £12 a month" - I think this is misleading as people use more energy in winter so will be higher than this. The price cap will be reviewed before next summer so why not just say prices will go up by c. 10%?

Pretty devastating news - Trilynx trial and XRayVision closed. Phase 2 data was so promising...so what's happened? Stats issue (frequentist approach ignoring phase 2 prior knowledge) or an example of why need phase 3 trials or just ineffective drug? #hnscc

@AvantiWestCoast Very disappointed in your train manager who refused to apologise for your late running service despite the fact that it meant significant numbers of people running for a connecting service / missing it. Why is sorry such a hard word to say?

@SLC_Repayment When do you issue statements to confirm a loan has been fully repaid? My loan was repaid on April 2021 yet the last statement is from January 2021 showing money owed. Would be nice to see the account closed.

I am beyond amazed at the dignity, compassion and humility that Esther Ghey continues to show after the brutal murder of her daughter. Phenomenal

Today is HPV awareness day. HPV is a virus that can cause head and neck, cervical, vaginal and anal cancer. Please if you are asked to sign to vaccinate your child (year 8) then do it. As a head and neck oncologist I would love to have fewer patients to treat in the future!

Know someone who'd make a great clinical oncologist?

We’re running a webinar to discuss why oncology is the best job in the world and how to apply for training.

We'd love you to share this with interested junior doctors and medical students! Learn more: https://t.co/NwjX9dbrj7
