In other news…was sorting out a playlist and rediscovered this. Could have been written yesterday . Well worth reading the lyrics - it’s all there. And written in 1963. Tragic. https://t.co/Jxz0VHfFVJ
This message goes out to anyone who is in WhatsApp groups:
As of today, AI is available on WhatsApp and therefore has access to all chats.
You can enable the "advanced privacy" option. Otherwise, AIs can open group messages, see phone numbers, and even retrieve personal information from your phone... even in private chats.
To prevent this:
1️⃣ Click on the bar above that says "Advanced chat privacy enabled. More information."
2️⃣ Turn the "Advanced chat privacy" option to On.
Do this as soon as possible and share it with other groups you're in.

"Medicine is difficult. We need to continue to attract the brightest to train as doctors. We need to ensure that their training is long enough to make them equipped to do the difficult daily work of the doctor."

More evidence from robust evaluation by my colleagues @TheIFS that SureStart had impressive long run impacts. Previous work showed it improved the long run health and educational achievement of poorer children. New work shows drop in serious youth offending.
@GrimshawJeremy Congratulations, Jeremy! Hopefully you can combine purpose and pleasure and do more of things that give you deep satisfaction and less of things that do the opposite. (And come and say hello if ever you find yourself in Oxford.)

One of the lovely things that happened at #GES2024 was that we had a chance to acknowledge 35 extraordinary years of @GrimshawJeremy's commitment to this global movement. People stood up and gave him a standing ovation, and it was just absolutely lovely to see 🧵4/7
@RCPhysicians .@RCPhysicians if you are to properly represent your members you will articulate & promote clear views about the role and scope of practice of PAs, the clarity of the distinction between doctors and non-doctors and what regulators need to do to properly promote patient safety.
