Lives at risk from surge in measles across Europe, experts warn https://t.co/lrlQRzS1Eo

[Laura Pountney @LauraPountneydr]

Such an important topic to think through. Part of the reason we’re looking at local initiatives that benefit the well being of doctors in EOE. @DrNickTwit @eastpaeds Could Balint like groups help with this? https://t.co/SOsMqLgHiZ
