Ultra-processed foods now account for more than half of the calorie intake in America and Britain. They are increasingly linked to poor health—and new research suggests that there is more to their harm than just a poor nutrient profile https://t.co/f39QrqniH4 👇

After lots of planning with the teams in Bermuda, here's the callout for NMC nurses keen for some time out to work in the only hospital in Bermuda. Supported, with flights, accom. & transport Inc. Feel free to reach out to discuss or go ahead and apply 🎉 https://t.co/mbKQlFd0YK

@HeathrowAirport Hello, is it still recommended to arrive 3 hours before my flight today (T5) or should I arrive earlier? I have checked in already.

[Lucy Eastgate @LucyEastgate]

Excited and proud to be a part of this! It's taken a long time to start but worth the wait if we can effectively and diligently bring stolen funds back to Kenya to support sustainable health services and set a precedence to do it again. https://t.co/zyBEghHI3T

What else was happening in 2020... Incredible that despite so many barriers, the number of people treated for these preventable and treatable NTDs are still so significant. And so much preventative work too.

Wow! Amazing video of the #WorldNTDDay 2022 celebrations around the world! 👏 🎉💥 #BeatNTDs #GiveASchisto

@DoctorChrisVT I'm sure you know all about this but it's easier to get antibiotics than sweeties where we live. But as a casual observation in the UK, I found some primary care services offered prescriptions before diagnostic testing.

A look 100 years into the future with @CMO_England Professor Chris Whitty - what will the next pandemic look like and will we be more prepared? His answer may surprise you. One of my favourite interviews ever. Do join for the next @HTropDis centenary seminar. #HTD100

The majority of #Africa’s health workers are still missing out on vaccines and remain dangerously exposed to severe #COVID19 infection.

Unless our doctors, nurses and other frontline workers get full protection we risk a blowback in the efforts to curb this disease.

[Lucy Eastgate @LucyEastgate]

@DrNeilStone BTW I am absolutely a vaccine advocate, even if it's potentially less effective for this strain. Some is better than none.

[Lucy Eastgate @LucyEastgate]

@DrNeilStone I'm worried. Selfishly we want to finally be able to come home for Christmas and our flights are in 2.5 weeks. Even if vaccines did help, less than 8 million of 50 million are vaccinated here. The claim is that it's vaccine hesitancy but there's no government led drive...

[Neil Stone @DrNeilStone]

Most of what anti vaxxers say is demonstrable nonsense

Beautiful example here

[Jonathan Underwood @Dr_J_Underwood]

75% protection from hospitalisation to delta following only one vaccination and 94% after two.

Very good news.

Perhaps this wave will just be small pockets of infection in susceptible communities that will peter out like in Bolton.🤞🤞🤞

Thank you #COVAX and Gilgil Subcounty Hospital, #kenya. There goes the second dose! #vaccinated @johnnwwright

[Lucy Eastgate @LucyEastgate]

@Snowflake198 @DrNeilStone In Kenya - but it's the same in so many countries.

[Lucy Eastgate @LucyEastgate]

@wellcometrust In Kenya less than 1 million people have received their first dose only, of a population of over 53 million. There is no second dose in sight. https://t.co/ANjTdnkm3x

[Lucy Eastgate @LucyEastgate]

@DrNeilStone The lucky 900,000 who got their first dose (out of 53 million) are now struggling to accept that they are due their second and there is no vaccine in sight. No date of delivery in the near future so they are taking themselves to backstreet vendors. It's worrying.

@geraldineaohara @dr_ashwitt @British_Airways I feel cheated 😳😜 I spent the last 2hrs of the return flight of our honeymoon assisting with a medical emergency, avoided the emergency landing they had discussed - and @emirates gave no thanks, although the staff were very sweet.
