Ex- pharmacist, still interested in medicines esp RA meds and pharmacy. Tennis, esp Andy Murray, Rugby, Food and beer will get the odd mention.

@mooney_angie @duranie68 He was going on to Pat Cash earlier about Paul McNamee. I was a big fan of the Macs but honestly it was 30 years ago.

@AmandaB55744931 Some meds must not be frozen. Many motorhome fridges actually freeze at the back. And if it’s very hot they can only chill to so many degrees below air temp. Most meds OK for a few days at room temp if then use soon. Ask pharmacist who supplies for advice.

@PJOnline_News @TheGPhC The full report is worth a read. You have to wonder what pressure was put on the team to prescribe. Standards were clearly ignored , why though??

@Fergus_Gav I love the way she plays. I rated her v high when I first saw her three years ago. Been slowly developing.

@GlendajSharsted @BenRothenberg Sad they didn’t give one to Evans. Guess he will will get one for qualifying event.

@Giguere_P @pash22 I saw this article, I am a bit of an avid tennis player. So many people I play with seem to have ‘rotator cuff injuries’ shown on scans. The amount of private physios and massage etc that is paid for…….

@the_LTA He HAS to be given a wildcard for Wimbledon, and then if he could play on day 2 on court 1 I would be very happy.

[Jo Ringer @Jo_Ringer]

@AliJaneMoore @rheumipainmask They provided patients with upto a years supply when they knew they were being investigated and might be closed down. This would be bad enough if it was a private service but this was run as an NHS service.

@the_LTA I will miss watching that sliced backhand.

@GlendajSharsted I had to turn BBC commentary off as they went on so much about how marvellous Serena was when apart from her serving I thought she was average. Mboko was outstanding.

There own terms and conditions exclude pharmacy! As they should of course

[Dr Steve Taylor @DrSteveTaylor]

I don’t believe them @doctor_katie @VictoriaTzB @TheGPhC @SKinnock @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland @jamesmurray_ldn

This looks like financial inducement to get more on the Pharmacy First Pathway for insect bites

[Jo Ringer @Jo_Ringer]

@DrSteveTaylor @rheumipainmask @doctor_katie @VictoriaTzB @TheGPhC @SKinnock @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland @jamesmurray_ldn So I can pop in show them a bite that clearly doesn’t need an intervention , they will give me a plan if I want and I will get £2back. I am tempted to try it tomorrow! Not a sensible use of NHS.

[Jo Ringer @Jo_Ringer]

@DrSteveTaylor @rheumipainmask @doctor_katie @VictoriaTzB @TheGPhC @SKinnock @DHSCgovuk @NHSEngland @jamesmurray_ldn I wonder whether their superintendent pharmacist cleared this offer. I would suspect not. Just checked my app and it is actually described as one of my ‘missions’ . Which actually sounds entirely unethical, so I should go and deliberately get bitten to fulfill my mission?

[Jo Ringer @Jo_Ringer]

I am horrified and also not at all surprised that this was thought to be acceptable. https://t.co/e8sUWgyrsy

[Jo Ringer @Jo_Ringer]

@DrSteveTaylor @rheumipainmask @asda @jamesmurray_ldn @SKinnock @doctor_katie @VictoriaTzB @LeylaHannbeck Completely inappropriate to offer an inducement to use services. @TheGPhC

Curcumin in arthritis may have NSAID like clinical efficacy. But how? Metanalysis lays out the multiple potential effects for it to inhibit inflammatory signaling pathways (NF-κB, TNF-α, IL-1β, IL-6, COX-2, and PGE2) https://t.co/gSYVwpl41P

@GlendajSharsted @cherryd0ughnuts @tntsports @laurarobson5 I didn’t realise that! I have TNT so don’t get all courts that’s HBO only. But do get about 6-7 courts. I have TNT for rugby
