@DrDMcGregor Waterproof trousers plus a basic high vis jacket are my go-tos.. spare pair of dry socks +/- shoes also helpful depending on how water-repellent the OG shoes are!

(acknowledge the fantastic bisexual representation.. 'lesbians and bisexuals' possibly more accurate)

[Aphra Luchesa @aphraluchesa]

https://t.co/ZxwntP7bcJ The irony that this article only uses the word lesbian once (in a quotation about the incredible Georgia speaking about why it's an important word to use) and the rest is all 'gay girls', 'queer' and 'LGBTQ+'.. stop it with the euphemisms!

Over the last few years, I've been compiling a list of UK celebs and what private school they attended.

If you've not seen it yet, prepare to be blown away.

Cycling in London has been such a joy over the last few years - I love being able to get some fresh air especially when working long days/nights! We need better infrastructure though to keep everyone safe on the roads. #LondonLovesCycling

Not sure how it happened but a bus crashed into a building near Tottenham Court Road Station. Police, Fire Brigade and ambulance in attendance.

My NHS rainbow badge was given to me by a hospital CEO when I was still a medical student - as a newly out lesbian who felt very out of place in medicine it helped me feel like I could belong as an LGBTQ+ doctor.

[Aphra Luchesa @aphraluchesa]

This doctor sat an anatomy exam despite the malicious release of a sheep - she deserves to be a hero to lesbians and medics everywhere! 🌈 🐑 #LGBTplusHM

"This nurse was interested in my mum as a person, not just as a patient. It meant the world to me."

Louise Smith looks at how asking questions that elicit who a patient is, and not just their diagnosis and symptoms, leads to more compassionate care

[Aphra Luchesa @aphraluchesa]

With many thanks to the geriatrics department at @WhitHealth who were so insightful and encouraging when I first started talking and learning about this as an FY1!

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

"A major concern of many #ageing LGBTQ+ people is their lack of access to inclusive social care support."

To provide more inclusive care we must listen to and respect the needs of older #LGBTQ+ people, says @aphraluchesa

@dr_emmacoombe Thanks for the advice - difficult as am only non-trainee on ward so not sure how much traction this would gain especially if not reporting extra hours of clinical work.

[Aphra Luchesa @aphraluchesa]

So happy to have had the opportunity to be part of this!
