Thank you @OsbornesLaw for inviting me and @WestTom97 as guests to this year's @CambMedicoLegal Conference in the beautiful @Peterhouse_Cam. Thoroughly enjoyed the "conversation between medicine and the law", great speakers, topics & lovely to catch up with other industry friends

Fab morning in the mud and rain at @HolkhamEstate for @OutlawTriathlon’s new gravel sprint event, all completely off-road. Most fun I’ve had in a race, covered head to toe in mud, and picked up 10th overall

Perfect weather and location for a morning of swimming, biking and running as fast as possible ☀️ #Beccles #Triathlon

Super fun morning with the Bury Town #disability #football #team. What an incredible group of people - thanks for going easy on me and even letting me get on the scoresheet!
@England are all the seats to Germany full? #euro2024

@WestTom97 and @ClinNegAlex standing proud following the friendly match with the #bury #disability #football team this morning. More stamina training needed for the @AshtonsLegal boys I think 🤔

https://t.co/rWTn2BxIZr How sad, Christopher Sidle died after having a psychotic episode. The crisis team refused to admit him. That’s despite his sister, a Consultant Neurologist with experience of psychosis begging for help. Is there actually any service for these people?

[Tom West @WestTom97]

It has been a real privilege to represent the Sidle family throughout the inquest into Christopher’s tragic, untimely death. Although nothing can undo their devastating loss, hopefully today’s conclusion can lead to lessons being learnt to prevent the same mistakes being repeated

I’m so pleased that we were able achieve a settlement for this lovely family. Most of all, I was glad to see the Trust admit that mistakes were made. Now the hard part’s done, let’s hope we see changes being made to prevent this happening again

No spoilers, but this is the cleverest football advert I've ever seen.

My response to the flurry over the weekend regarding the #Nottingham Review & how both @Sajhawkins1 & @jackhawkski warned about this years ago. How Wynter would still be here had family voices been heard between 2016 & 2019. Where next? Change! cc @WyntersWish

[Tom West @WestTom97]

What a day.

Brutal wind conditions meant that around 35% of people who started the day didn’t finish. I gave every ounce of my being to finish in 12:46:17.
