I've just pledged to put play on the agenda! ✍
@Starlight_UK is calling on the next government to increase the play workforce in the NHS as part of their manifesto for children’s play in healthcare.
Will you support them and sign the pledge? https://t.co/giqfqELU51 💚⭐
“It’s crystal clear Mr Speaker” says @RishiSunak at #PMQs “stick with us to deliver the long term change the country needs”
I make no excuses for my rage. If you are as angry as me RT this widely - everyone needs to know these shocking facts
For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help.
I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).
Nurses are under attack. The government have decided they will take them on and break them if needed
They are the same people who kept this nation going through the pandemic
They are the backbone of society
RT if you stand right behind them and will back them whatever it takes
People do not understand that we are about to lose far more than any painting. Listen to the words of Sir David Attenborough. We are on course for the collapse of the liveable world. It is a nightmare that people can’t see this after 35 years of constant warnings #VanGogh

After a summer of doing nothing the government has finally done nowhere near enough.
Things are so bad that @Human_Relief which has spent 30 years focused entirely on aid to the world’s poorest countries, has opened a food bank in Birmingham.
Join me and @GordonBrown and sign this petition via @38degrees calling on the UK government to hold an Emergency Budget to act on poverty and boost Universal Credit immediately! https://t.co/csf9g2jAiD
I signed @RCPCHtweets letter calling on the PM to address the child health inequalities.
4 million children are living in poverty in the UK and this number could reach 5 million by 2030. Its time to #ShiftTheDial on child health - sign here: https://t.co/ZGhOltcMVc
NEW: income inequality in US & UK is so wide that while the richest are very well off, the poorest have a worse standard of living than the poorest in countries like Slovenia https://t.co/gtHvhNsnuT
Essentially, US & UK are poor societies with some very rich people.
A thread:
Excited to have started population health fellowship alongside paeds training! Time to learn more about improving children's health outcomes more broadly and tackling social inequalities at local level...

Conspiracy theorist, anti-vaxxer and struck-off nurse Kate Shemirani is here literally threatening NHS doctors with the noose.
I believe she is inciting hatred and would be grateful @metpoliceuk if you could please investigate.
Please RT if you agree.
