Children with epilepsy (aged 12+) are now being offered the COVID-19 vaccination.

If you’re eligible, you’ll be contacted by a local NHS service such as your GP surgery to book an appointment.

George Floyd and I were both arrested for allegedly spending a counterfeit $20 bill. For George Floyd, a man my age, with two kids, it was a death sentence. For me, it is a story I sometimes tell at parties. That, my friends, is White privilege.

Type 1 and type 2 diabetes MUST have different names! The reporting of diabetes during the pandemic has failed time and time again to differentiate between them- always confusing, and often scaring, unnecessarily. Incredibly frustrating! #diabetes #Covid19UK @diabetesUK

[Shaun Lintern @ShaunLintern]

26% of #Covid19 deaths between 31 March - 12 May were patients with diabetes. Around 6% of population has diabetes.

Diabetes patients were not advised to shield themselves from the virus and were only told they were at moderate risk. Should advice change in light of this?

Really happy to see mindfulness being introduced in schools - I think teaching kids to be present and more self-aware will make such a difference! #mindfulness #meditation #mindbodyconnection https://t.co/liaiTnjbBv
