Your longest relationship is with yourself…so make it one of the best ones. This thread is worth a read.

[Samuel C W Hart @samuelcwhart]

As the only one in my friendship group who's single and without kids, I know what it's like to feel lonely.

I live alone and I'm a seasoned lone traveller, solitary cafe go-er and solo diner.

Here's 10 things I remind myself to do on those days when I'm feeling isolated.

Let’s talk about livers! Great work from @AlrightMyLiver if you live in Bristol and see them out and about, pop over and say hello (and maybe get a liver check too)

[Alright my Liver? @AlrightMyLiver]

Proud to share the link to the full video made with @NHSEngland 💜 🏥 this aims to give more information about the Community Liver Health Check pilot and to give people an idea about what to expect in follow up hepatology care.

Lovely new paper from our research group: long term aspirin treatment significantly reprogrammes glucose and glutamine metabolism in colorectal cancer, highlighting metabolic vulnerabilities that could be exploited in anti cancer treatment. @CMMBristol https://t.co/dpsxZzps01

Lovely to see a review article from our research group out in print! Aspirin regulates cancer cell metabolic reprogramming and exposes metabolic vulnerabilities that could be exploited in cancer therapy @CMMBristol https://t.co/xwUrVjPqCl

How about no? Let’s NOT normalise sexual abuse and harassment. If being a ‘snowflake generation’ is standing up and speaking out, then I am here for it. Sexual abuse is not mutually exclusive with a rewarding career. Everyone deserves safety in the workplace.

A new paper from @AdamCChambers1 demonstrating the efficacy of the bowel cancer screening programme. Send back your screening kits people!

This, a thousand times over. CPR is not for normal dying, and cannot reverse the process that caused the heart to stop. It is ok (and good!) to have a lot to live for, but don’t forget to talk about dying too. You only get to do it once.

Lovely evenings like this remind me that the NHS’s greatest asset is its staff ❤️

Analysis on doctor pay compared to other sectors. We are asking for pay to be restored to retain our highly trained doctors in the profession that we love.

We never know when we might need the NHS; but we will want the brightest and best looking after us and our loved ones.

[Dr Tony Goldstone @goldstone_tony]

1/ VITAL🧵 So people have had a couple of days to digest the DDRBs "independent" reports & their imposition by governemnt.

TLDR;they represent further MASSIVE pay cuts.

Lets start with some history and look at what happened BEFORE the current high inflation

Pls read all/RT

Yesterday I was outside the Bristol Royal Infirmary supporting the #JuniorDoctorsStrike with @BMA_JuniorDocs @SouthWestBMA

@KatBelfield explained how much #JuniorDoctors' poor pay and conditions is affecting the quality of healthcare at the NHS - so many doctors are leaving.

[Kat Belfield @KatBelfield]

Thank you for coming down to support us @carla_denyer @SouthWestBMA #PayRestoration #supportournhs

[BMA South West @SouthWestBMA]

The rain is coming down but spirits remain high in the south west. A visit from the Green Party’s Carla Denyer. Thanks Carla! #JuniorDoctorsStrikes @carla_denyer @BMASevernJDC

[Severn Resident Doctors @BMASevernRRDC]

As junior doctors begin our second industrial action to restore our pay, Severn RJDC would like to thank team Gloucester who raised over £900 for Sue Ryder hospice with their bake sale during the last strikes @SouthWestBMA
