‘It’s an utter distortion of the truth’

Andrew Norfolk, the journalist who broke the grooming gangs story 14 years ago, tells The News Agents he wants to 'set the record straight.'

Oddly reassuring.

Fantastic to see this work out today after a huge amount of work from @OllyBrown @cfcamm @DrMarkWestwood1
🚨Despite being the longest training program in the world, 87% of trainees feel they require a post-CCT fellowship to be competent as a consultant

@BritishCardioSo @TheBJCA Odd, BCIS seems to be missing...

"In interventional cardiology we will use the metric system to measure things."

"Like catheter diameters Sir?"

"No - those we will measure using French sizes."

"What about wires Sir?"

"We will measure those in inches"

"Why Sir?"

"No one knows"

That’s not good news for cerebral protection on TAVR, let’s wait for the final results.

A few years ago, I visited a rape crisis centre, to find out more about the work that they do to help survivors.
It was an amazing place, run by some really dedicated women.
But when I was there they said something that at the time really shocked me.
They told me that they don’t advise women and girls who have been raped or sexually assaulted to go to court. Obviously they’ll support them if they do decide that they want to pursue a criminal case. But they don’t specifically advise them to do so.
I was really surprised. Why wouldn’t you want to get justice for these awful crimes? So I asked them why.
And they told me – look – the court process is really traumatic. You could wait years. You could be victim blamed in court. You could be re-traumatised. And then after all that… you might not get justice at the end of it. They might get off.
They told me that knowing all that…they can’t hand on heart tell victims that putting your faith in the British justice system is necessarily the right thing to do.
I got it then, I understood it.
It’s pretty depressing, though, isn’t it?
Because the result is victims not getting justice… and rapists…well… it means rapists getting away with it, doesn’t it?
Today on the show we’re taking a long hard look at how the justice system is dealing with sexual violence.
A new report by the Criminal Bar Association shows survivors of rape and sexual assault are among those waiting the longest for their cases to be heard – leading to PTSD and suicidal thoughts.
It takes on average TWO YEARS to get a trial from the point of charge… and some of course are having to wait even longer.
We're focusing on this very powerful report by our correspondent Ashna Hurynag:

This really is incredible. I spent half of the pandemic working on medical wards and the other half working in ITU. At times I wore bin bags that I had to make my own arm holes in with flimsy paper masks on the ward and had full respiratory PPE in ITU. It was clearly insufficient

I really do worry people have forgotten what Covid-19 was like for NHS staff. I went onto ICU wards and saw it myself. I spoke to staff broken by relentless death.

If you don’t speak Rugby, this will be baffling. If you do, you will recognise it as one of the greatest passages of play in the history of the game. Japan, offered repeated chances to tie with South Africa, risk it all in the final minutes. WC 2015 https://t.co/73ruL3ZQRb

@chapdoc1 any chance I could DM you (think you have it tuned off) re your move to NZ? Questions on health Vs travel insurances for family.

@UKGastroDr Chest drains went on a similar journey. All of the calm, planned drains done 9-5 by an anp service so medical sprs struggled to train. All emergency drains out of hours thrown at the med reg along with the complications from the 9-5 service.
