#BMJExclusive NHS England has failed to implement changes to ensure that a patient's sex, as well as gender, is recorded in all medical records

@RITB_ @G_D_Phillips1 Mandala colouring book optional 😉

@labourlewis @LucyGoBag Thank you for this. My mother had four miscarriages in the late 60s before I was born in 1970. The tests that she had were private. It’s unconscionable that nearly 60 years later women face the same lack of support.

[Alison Moore @alijanemoore also on Bluesky @AliJaneMoore]

Just a reminder that asking patients to repeat their stories/details is not always a waste of time. The originals may have been misrecorded or incomplete, things may have changed and you can learn a lot from hearing a patient tell it in their own words (including cognitive state)

@sandra_cheetham @kazdeanie @LizClements @hawkins_carole @LBC @BBCRadio4 @Jeremy_Hunt What MSK services? Does he not realise how debilitating impact of some MSKs can be? Rhetorical, he does, but doesn’t care. NHS across all metrics has been deteriorating since 2010. Jeremy Hunt one of the chief architects of its demise.

@Gillian275Gm Imagine being the wives/partners/mothers/sisters/aunts etc of the men who engage with her.

@MsRade92 Social Services should step right in at birth. They do it for thousands of other women who don’t have the privilege that this grotesque female does. I certainly wouldn’t allow any baby to be placed with the enabling parents either.

@caspertown24 @DrSteveTaylor My local Healthwatch has been really invested in SE London, as have others in England. Unfortunately the National HW became increasingly supine and acquiescent.

@KevinASchofield Glad your tweet hasn’t aged well 😉. As is everyone else in my area of S London!

In November 2023, police found the decayed corpse of Tracey Turnell in Walthamstow Market.

She had no phone, job, passport, friends or lovers. There wasn’t a single photo of her.

I pieced together who she was and who was responsible for @_TheLondoner

@KirstieMAllsopp @patmcfaddenmp Strange that I could open my hotel window in London last month too. I think you’ll find that the 100mm restrictor limit applies in the Netherlands as it does here. Facts not really your thing, are they?

Message to the Media…. Stop allowing politicians and journalists to speak about ‘low level’ mental health problems. It is incredibly damaging.
