So proud all my consultant colleagues were working to day. We are paid well. No need to be greedy.

[Voice of the Martyrs @VOM_USA]

Christians have been a primary target in Burkina Faso. Hundreds of churches have been closed, and 10,000 Christians have fled their homes. Front-line workers are providing trauma-care to help the people heal and also equip them to minister to others in their communities.

Are other HCPs in Scotland going to be offered the same pay rise as doctors? If not, why not? #SNP #NHS

[Max @SmitzMax]

@mevparekh Unpopular opinion. However desperate or righteous the position is, I cannot accept that striking, even just for a one day, does not harm patients in some form or another.

[Dr Louise Newson @drlouisenewson]

My husband Paul is a Consultant Urologist who is a Genito-Urethral Reconstructive Surgeon. I met him when I was 18 - in our first week at Manchester Medical School.

He has gone away to Pakistan to operate on two very difficult cases and he is being videoed as he operates to teach other surgeons out there.

He left this note on my pillow which I found when I went to bed last night.

When I opened my menopause clinic nearly 5 years I had no idea how it was going to go. Paul and I spent every penny we had so we could open the clinic. He has supported me with creating the free balance app, developing our menopause education programme (which has been downloaded by over 30,000 healthcare professionals globally), the media work I do and also the research we do both in the clinic and collaboratively with other researchers.

Paul is there more than he used to be to look after our three children - who have had various health issues - as I spend most of my time working.

Neither of us expected the bullying, toxicity and misogyny that I have been and am still exposed to which is exhausting. So many times I have wanted to give up what I am doing but he gives me the strength to continue. I am very lucky having him!

Many doctors are still working. Looking after the vulnerable and sick.

Such a joy it was talking all things rehab & frailty to a mixed group of nurses, doctors & AHPs working or planning to work in LMICs with @EstherClift. Would do it again any time. Thank you @UK_CMF. #Frailty #GlobalRehab #GlobalHealth #Rehab2030 #HealthForAll #HealthEquity #AHPs

[The Salvation Army @salvationarmyuk]

We are extremely disappointed and concerned that the Illegal Migration Bill has passed through Parliament and will become law. This Act will prevent genuine victims of modern slavery from seeking the support they need and are entitled to in international law. [1/2]

[All On The Board @allontheboard]

You are not a burden,
You are not a waste of space;
There is only one of you
and nobody can ever take your place.

[Swallowologist @Swallowologist1]

[Dr Krish Kandiah OBE @krishk]

There is now no way to claim asylum in the UK. You cannot claim asylum either in the country or out of the country.
We have now formally abdicated all responsibility to asylum seekers.

I feel deeply sad and ashamed.

[CdnPhysiciansforLife @CdnLifeDocs]

Canadians with eating disorders deserve treatment and support, not assisted suicide.

Don't give up. Give help.
