Really powerful study from @CRANE_News on cleft laterality: Right sided clefts associated with greater likelihood of achieving better speech outcomes, generally healthier but poorer dental outcomes #Cleft2022

LOVE that the #Cleft2022 panel on burnout and peer-to-peer support includes a perspective from a veterinarian! 👏👏👏

So important to learn from other professions and disciplines. #Cleft2022 @EdinCleft2022

Excellent talk. Particularly liked his comment about tech "Am in #Rwanda, #Africa, some of the technology isn't accessible to us but in principle am supportive of non-invasive measurent of haemoglobin"
Pulseoximetry is accessible, thanks to @SaferSurgery & @Smiletrain

One Lothian pupil has emailed me today saying this:

“We are not statistics, we are human beings with lives, ambitions, hopes and dreams. I implore you to challenge these results for us and champion the young people of this country!”

SNP have failed a generation of young Scots.

I’m proud to be patron of the doctors’ support network. There is still far too much stigma around mental distress in doctors. You are not letting everyone down. You do not need to be diagnosed or under the care of mental health services to get support. https://t.co/IKvv5ozKxe

This has already had more than 100k views. It would be terrible if more people were to watch it. https://t.co/LOjanOnBYs

[Equalities, Human Rights & Civil Justice Committee @SP_EHRCJ]

Do you work with children and young people? We want to hear their views on the Age of Criminal Responsibility, so we made a toolkit for you to discuss the issue with them. Help inform the Committee's recommendations to @ScotParl ! https://t.co/1yXVRY2udV #modernstudies #YOYP2018

[General Practice Awards @gp_awards]

We are looking for individuals or teams who are demonstrating excellence when working with patients with respiratory conditions, improving their lives and management of symptoms. If this is you, we want to hear from you. #GPAwards #respiratorycare #NHS70

[The BMA @TheBMA]

Congratulations to all those recognised for their contribution to the NHS in the Queen's Birthday Honours list today, including psychiatrist and BMA council member @jsbamrah, awarded a CBE for his services to mental health, diversity and the NHS #NHS70

[Jackie Baillie @jackiebmsp]

A&E waiting times targets have been missed every month for a year in Greater Glasgow & Clyde. That means more patients waiting longer than 4 hours to be treated. In April more than 400 patients waited longer than 8 hours. This is simply not good enough. https://t.co/cbC8SqtXOx

[ScotParl Engage @Engage_SP]

Really good chat with MSYPs and @ScotFamADrugs on real cost of alcohol @OfficialSYP Sitting in Stranraer today. Crucial topic. Crucial engagement with #MSYPs

[Patients Association @PatientsAssoc]

Last year we offered six trusts support on their complaints offer, helping them better understand how they interact with their users as well as how to improve relations. Find out more about how we work in partnership with organisations across the UK: https://t.co/jS7923471F

[Nursing Times @NursingTimes]

Over 20 nurses feature in bumper birthday year for honours https://t.co/pzh1uix67u (£)

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

A 6.5% pay increase for NHS staff looks great on the surface.

Until you realise it will be given over three years.

And that the cost of living is set to increase by 9.6% over the same period.

Please RT if you just want NHS staff to be paid fairly. https://t.co/AYhvjtjjEM

I’m looking for people convinced that #homeopathy has cured them. Whatever the condition. Do you know anyone? PlsRT #journorequest
