Train Hopscotch in a Wheelchair:
I had to bunny-hop over the side of the ramp to get off the @LNER 1S13 at Newcastle just now,
Because it stopped with Coach M passenger door opposite a pillar.
Difficult and dangerous, @DavidHorne.

@asda @AsdaServiceTeam @ZavaUK @CareQualityComm @TradeStandards Now calls from scammers. Well done @Asda @Asda_ServiceDes
Can’t trust calls from either.

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

@Asda_ServiceDes Just tried and got called by a scammer @ASDA @Asda_ServiceDes
This customer service is terrible as now have scam calls

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

How can anyone TRUST @asda @AsdaServiceTeam @ZavaUK Still no refund for the person I know who bought medication online and it was never delivered and no refund was given and they have been waiting for well over a month. Lots of apologies but they are still out of pocket.V.Poor

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

@asda Still no refund for the person I know from @asda pharmacy .Lots of apologies ,and promises of refunds within 3-5 working days but no refund. This has been going on for over a month now. @Asda have said they have emailed the individual concerned-no emails received. V.Poor @asda

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

I work within a medication safety role for the NHS. If medication was late causing a delay in treatment therefore meaning the course had to be started from the beginning again I would expect a DATIX for to be submitted. What are @ASDA doing for governance and medication safety.

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

@asda @asda escalation team are all very good at apologising for a poor service with their pharmacy service but no one takes any action.The person I know who has been let down by them never got their medication and hasn’t got a refund. Online pharmacy services must be trustworthy.

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

Unfortunately even the escalation team @ASDA can’t get a response from their own pharmacy team. This is a really poor service. The patient involved had to stop taking the medication due to the length without it. If they want it again they will have to start again from scratch.

@AndyBell_info absolutely fantastic concert tonight. The band were fantastic as was Andy. Highly recommend the ten crowns tour to any old erasure fans and any youngsters wanting a good night out.Sad that I couldn’t see him as I could a few years ago, but the sound was wonderful.

Yesterday afternoon my wife took the twins out with her sisters for a meal in Archway, North London whilst I took Henry to to the pub with our friends. My daughter Darla had a fit (febrile convulsion) whilst they was walking towards the restaurant on the pavement outside Home Bargains. A young couple helped my wife and her sister. And took them to whittington hospital straight away in their car. My wife didn’t get a chance to say thank you properly as she run in whilst my baby still having a fit. Darla is now stable and doing well and back home. But I really want to thank this couple. They are absolute Legends and hero’s. Can you all please help me find this lovely young couple who helped my family. I want to thank them and treat them as they took Sinéad and baby Darla to the hospital very quickly and if they wasn’t there it could have been another story. Darla is her happy little self this morning and back to normal. Thanks you every one and happy Sunday. Now both twins have had a febrile convulsion, they are extremely scary. Thank you to the wonderful doctors, nurses and staff at Whittington Hospital. If you know this couple please can you give me their number or email. Thank you. Please share or rt. Bosh❤️

@Duncan_CNO @Liz_HEE Absolutely agree we must protect the most vulnerable including patients and our own families as well as ourselves

@carriep100 @alisonleary1 @AFTaylorDN @CrystalOldman @RCNDNForum @dickinson_aly @unisontheunion @SheilaSobrany @sharnshelley2 @rcni @Profleadolder @wesstreeting @bbcqtt @ESNEFT @theRCN It’s not available in every area but should outpatient departments be opened in emergencies(evening &weekends they’re often empty)for the patients who are stable & waiting for beds. Having been nursed in corridors,at least OPD have curtains and allow some dignity.Still need staff

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

@pa_StephenNash @DrRJWebb As many people have said on here already,PAs should not even be trying to prescribe.There is at present no legal framework in place to allow PAs to prescribe. The professions of those Non-medical prescribers allowed to prescribe and what they can prescribe are clearly laid out.

[Matt @ProfGriffiths]

@LizLandUK @chriscraigCCC @hawkins_carole @pa_StephenNash @DrHsMum @DrRJWebb It would be illegal for nurses to prescribe if they don’t have the relevant prescribing qualification for the formulary that they need. There are over 100,000 qualified nurse prescribers. If people need to prescribe for their job then they MUST be qualified.
