Unfortunately, it’s completely out of our control. I’m in total agreement with you: these secondary prices are insane. This is grotesque profiteering from scalpers who contribute nothing to our tour, enabled by viagogo who also contribute nothing. The only way to end this insanity is legislation that prohibits resale for excessive profit. We’re having various conversations in the UK and the US, and elsewhere. PH

@parthaskar @DrLKVaughan @UKGastroDr @natalieben @DrSelvarajah @DrAsifQasim @doctor_oxford @ShrillaB @Mumtaz_Patel_1 @ShivaniM_KC @TIME_research This paper certainly takes an interesting spin on the data. The title is 'Physician Associate graduates have comparable knowledge to medical graduates' But they found a statistically significant difference between FY1s and PAs.
So how did they argue they are comparable?

I've written round up of big news in biotech & medicine, with @NikoMcCarty

The return of screwworms, longer gene editing, rapid TB tests, a new long-acting hemophilia treatment, new DNA vaccines, a potential prion disease treatment, and more. 🧵

We need people,buildings that function and time to do our jobs safely and well @keirStarmer , not apps. People to answer phones & help confused people.

I don't know who is advising you,but my god they need firing.

"The difference in the UK, on your own now, separate from Europe, it's a relatively small market."

David Ricks, CEO of pharmaceutical company Eli Lilly, tells #R4Today 'something needs to be quite different' to make the UK interesting in the global markets after leaving the EU.

This makes me so cross and sad. What vitamin helps with fertility, weight loss and exhaustion? Preying on vulnerability like this makes you at best a quack, at worst evil.

It's amazing how quickly Hegseth has proven himself to be just as feckless, careless, and inept a boss as we said he would be.

[Garry Kasparov @Kasparov63]

For 20 years, the Western media has blindly repeated whatever the Kremlin government says. It continues with this non-existent ceasefire. They lie because that's what they do. Stop helping them spread lies.

@HarveyAGeorge @SYorksOrthoRegs Just like all the best people.

@ShaunLintern Is this a joke, or is it real??
Will HR/recruitment/payroll info happen next??

[Andy Craig @_AndyCraig_]

@Azeem_Majeed I would include DWP/PIP forms and demands for reports from Coroner’s Office in this bracket too. Very time consuming.

Airlines should provide their own medical assessments for ‘fit to fly’ as we cannot legitimately make the requested declaration. Jog on.

‘We have specialised EDs and hospitals for children because they have different needs. Why do we not have this for older adults?’

@jayne_lynch @mancunianmedic Great shout. Especially as this patient population continues to both grow and get older!

[Margaret McCartney @mgtmccartney]

despair @BBCr4today that was a pretty unbalanced conversation about prostate cancer screening and harms. https://t.co/v4GMjFZete. this shouldn't be about what @wesstreeting etc thinks - this should be about evidence of benefit and harm

[Andy Craig @_AndyCraig_]

@drsarahtennant This has been going on for a long time… see also only given rotas 2-3 weeks before starting new jobs with folks being denied leave for own weddings and so on, due to inadequate notice.

[Hermes @AlloHermes]

@medicalmodelbri @lengreview This is utterly outrageous. The conceit is "PA's are pretty much doctors after 2 years so doctors don't need 5".

The GMC has totally lost its collective head.

[The Other Half @OtherHalfOrg]

If you were an MP on assisted death committee, would you want the full picture on potential harms?

Invited Australian witnesses reassured MPs that all was well there. BUT the former Vic Attorney General has BLISTERINGLY written to our MPs to tell them:

"It is not correct..."

[Mark Carney @MarkJCarney]

Elbows up, Canada.

@DudespostingWs No, that is a hack job on an innocent piece of furniture.

Could have done the same just as easily from scratch!
