Thank you @heraldscotland for highlighting this work and the difference person centered care can make @gppcglasgow

Hum along - you know the tune.
🎶
And so this is Christmas.
It sometimes gets fraught.
Such high expectations
That may come to nought.
I recommend hiding
(Two minutes won't harm),
Just focus on breathing,
Restoring your calm.

Tomorrow is #OverdoseAwarenessDay, some of our @NavigatorsScot teams have been out early raising awareness of the dangers of drugs, the 1172 preventable deaths last year & the services available to support people including ours.

Here’s @MarcNelson80 who was in Dundee with Tom

I'm running a couple of Night Navigation courses in the Ochil Hills, close to Stirling. Useful for daytime navigation in the clag too (which we occasionally get in Scotland).

If you live in Braemar, LEAVE WHILE YOU STILL CAN.

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

Both Conservatives and Labour put high priority on economic growth. I would rather see growth and reduction in inequalities in the height of five-year-old children. That way we will know that we have an economy that is really delivering for the health and wellbeing of all.

“We expect health to improve all the time. For the poorest people that’s not happening any more, it’s going down!”

Passionate and angry, watch @MichaelMarmot on the scandal of widening health inequalities in Scotland and England. Speaking to @GordonBrown in Kirkcaldy this week

[The Health Foundation @HealthFdn]

In England, women in the most deprived 10% of local areas are expected to live 51.4 years in good health compared with 71.2 years for women living in the least deprived – a difference of 19.7 years.

Polio had been eradicated. Now it's back in London and New York because some people refuse to get their children vaccinated. In a former incarnation, I worked for @UNICEF promoting childhood vaccinations in Africa. Parents there understood the dangers only too well.

An important message for those still thinking of the best way to get humanitarian support to the people fleeing conflict in #Ukraine

Our Ukrainian friends at @AUGBEdinburgh are asking for now, please don't collect and send stuff, it may not be the best way to help

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

Want to donate to help the humanitarian effort in Ukraine?

Do it via https://t.co/BClF6IoHJd and UK govt matches up to £20m of donations.

With gift aid this means each £1 given means £2.25 goes through (I've assumed govt won't match the gift aid)

[Chris_Hoskins @Chris_Hoskins]

Would really encourage you to apply for this post if you are looking to work in anti human trafficking. SOHTIS is an awesome organisation to work for doing some really important and groundbreaking work in Scotland. Please share with your networks!

Day 20 of Richard Ratcliffe’s hunger strike at Foreign Office. He tells me he’s ‘outraged’at the way the government ‘is letting his wife’s detention in Iran drag on’.
Mr Ratcliffe is with us all morning live on @BBCNews 9am
What’s your message to him & Nazanin Zaghari-Ratcliffe?
