“Partnership is Power” - We want to recognise the courage & leadership of Beth Brown & @AfsanaSalik on this pioneering cultural exchange between @CitizensUK & @NHSBartsHealth. #HEAL wouldn’t be possible with the openness of Directors @NHSBartsHealth & support @Barts_Charity

[TELCO CITIZENS @telcocitizens]

Strong community leadership is a hallmark of #HEAL - @WfCitizens @NewhamCitizens @THCitizens leaders have started something we plan to extend to our boroughs #HEALChampions @NHSBartsHealth @Barts_Charity @CitizensUK @averil78 @AfsanaSalik

If social care didn’t exist, the wider economy will suffer. The sector supports many more jobs indirectly through supply chains and local economies.

Social care provides independence, dignity, improved mental and physical well-being for millions of elderly and people who have a disability. The ROI for £1 invested in social care in England, is £2.36 in socioeconomic benefits. #ValueSocialCare #ProvidersUnite #StrongerTogether

[Averil 💚 @averil78]

Social care saves the NHS money; every £100 spent on social care reduces NHS spending by £35. @cpvnel

I am just a GP wondering why there is no acute respiratory hub?

Our entire capacity today was taken up with respiratory infections within minutes. Minutes!

Meanwhile we have unemployed GPs who would love to see patients.

Here’s a short video from @averil78 about the power of organising and why your organisation should get involved with @CitizensUK

[Martin Lewis @MartinSLewis]

This is a horrendous situation and disturbing thread to read. My thoughts with Jane, Cat and her family.

Sadly other than potential legal action it's very tough to know what can be done. It is possible to try to raise emergency situation with Ombudsman but that's unlikely to resolve much at the speed needed.

Hopefully the publicity a situation like this can and should get will put pressure on the insurer to review its decision.

1. I don’t often tweet about my personal life, but on 1st November, my mum Jane was hit by a large vehicle as a pedestrian in St. Louis, USA. She suffered a severe brain injury & remains in a coma in hospital.

Here's Jane & me in happier times.

[Cat Rubens @catrubens]

25. I'd be grateful if my followers / contacts in the areas of journalism, capacity law and disability rights could please re-tweet.

[P.s if you've been in contact with me professionally over the past few weeks, this is the reason for my out of office. Thanks ❤️]
