@SyncopeJohn I had an email from an ex-colleague a little while after leaving NHSE asking if anybody had given me a card. Clearly the answer was no and neither had they. Not sure if anybody actually noticed that I had left…
"It didn't hurt...not many people know that!"
@themichaelcaine + @eltonofficial have joined forces with Professor the Lord Ara Darzi (co-director of our @Imperial_IGHI) to encourage people to get vaccinated against #COVID19
@Flaminhaystack My daughter’s school has mixed age form groups (year 7-11). I thought it was a bit odd at first but it means all the children are able to make friends outside of their year group, which really helps encourage a buddy system.
Just played @BBCRadio2 through my Alexa for the first time to listen to Paul O’Grady. It warned me that it may contain mature content that wasn’t suitable for everyone! #teampog
4 days, 60 miles and 140,000 steps Much to my surprise I completed the Royal British Legion's Western Front Trek Very emotional and a truly humbling act of remembrance
I'm still fundraising to help those who need RBL's support today; spare a £ if you can

A week today I will be heading to France & Belgium to walk 50 miles of the Western Front; remembering the sacrifices of WW1 & raising money for Royal British Legion to support those who need it today
If you can donate anything, then that would be amazing

Today we are announcing a new system of consent for #organdonation that will save hundreds of lives a year. Everyone will be considered an organ donor unless they have recorded a wish not to be: https://t.co/uvMk2pBkfu
Not sure what possessed me to sign up to walking 52 miles in 4 days to raise funds for the #RoyalBritishLegion
I've just done a training walk of 7.35 miles and I fell asleep as soon as I got home!

You can find me on FB too at Sarah's Western Front Trek
@cows94 Is that an electric fence? Exactly that had been put across the public footpath I was on today but I wasn't sure. Given I'd walked the pup 4 miles by then, I wasn't going to turn round.
@fat_woman I will have to read again. I honestly get so bogged down in it that I rarely finish an article. I like to think I'm fairly intelligent and I am interested in this, so it's frustrating.
I will come back to you.
@fat_woman I've read quite a few of these articles, mostly ones that you have linked to.
The thing that bugs me every time is the jargon. They profess to be explaining the issues to the ignorant and biased but use terms & words that are meaningless to the very people they are aiming at.
I'm fundraising for the Royal British Legion and trekking the Western Front in September.
I'm selling hand knitted poppies for £4 (inc postage) to help.
My knitting skills are a bit random, they will all be slightly different! Message me if you would like one.
Thank you 😊
🎵And the judge and the jury, they all put the blame on me
They wouldn’t go for my story, they wouldn’t hear my plea...
Only you can set me free, coz I’m guilty, guilty as a girl can be
Come on baby, can’t you see, I stand accuuuused of love in the first degree🎵
