The lovely cycling doctors of Ride for Their Lives are at it again! Now through Birmingham with health workers and children - for clean air, healthy lungs & cooler planet. Seems they will cycle Paris-Geneva for the World Health Assembly. If you want to join - @RideLives
A brighter future is knowing when to use your voice as a paediatrician and when you need to listen to those children and young people in front of you - powerful opening to #RCPCH24 from @RCPCH_and_Us
Starting my first #RFTL today. If everyone cycled more we’d burn less fossil fuels, all be fitter and our air be cleaner. #tripplewin@RCPCHtweets @RideLives
Dear @RishiSunak, I just signed this open letter in response to your plans to build new gas-fired power plants in the UK.
We need mass investment in green, home-grown renewables - not expensive gas.

By ending fossil fuel subsidies & taxing enormous energy company profits we can ensure every household in the UK has clean, green energy at a fair price.
Email your MP now to urge them to sign the Energy For All manifesto. https://t.co/KcjMUns4FU

Must encourage everyone to read this excellent advice from the @PaediatricFOAM team about creating inclusive environments for LGBQT+ patients and parents. Thanks @ilana_abc and colleagues.
The UK Government has announced plans to ban disposable e-cigarettes in the UK!
Single use vapes are the most popular used device among young people in the UK and 5 million discarded each week – a ban is a win for children’s health and the planet. 1/3
Too often the needs of children & young people are forgotten in policy making.
We’re proud to support #ChildrenAtTheTable, calling on the next Government to be a champion of children's health and wellbeing.

Dismayed to see that @Mark_Spencer MP has approved the use of banned Neonics on local sugar crops. A nod to the profits of the sugar industry and ignores the scientific evidence re their harm and the obesity crisis fuelled by cheap sugary foods.increasing health inequalities.
