Clinical geneticist, hoarder, wannabe cat lady. More moderate in politics than most things, but hard-line Pro-European.

Really fantastic talk from Alistair Pagnamenta @BSGM2024 #MORElikeTHISplease

This is outrageous @wesstreeting
We left the EU based on an Advisory Referendum - the electorate were misled to believe in ‘sunlit uplands’ in BrexitLand
Growth is capped as a consequence
How can one vote in 2016 - be allowed to determine the economic prospects into the future

@johnshuttlewrth Bingo!

Absolutely gorgeous video of 10-year old Max with Joe & Loanna, the parents of Keira, the little girl whose transplanted heart saved his life 🫀🩷

A thread from June, but still relevant, unfortunately, in a(nother) week of almost no sales.

You're wrong about youth mobility @YvetteCooperMP and you know you are. I know you're towing the party line but......young people have suffered because of Brexit. We all have but @UKLabour could at least help them

@Laconic_doc Mention determination and perseverance, commitment to medicine. Any short courses/modules that they could enrol to take this year? If working as an HCA I wonder if they would have access to e-learning for health (or may there be resources that are universally accessible?

[Guy Verhofstadt @guyverhofstadt]

The best way for the UK to avoid "hard times" is to undo unnecessary Tory Brexit choices & make deals with Europe 🇪🇺 that grow all of our economies!

@posikles @LiamThorpECHO This is key, obfuscation is undermining the discussion and so destructive to honest evaluation of what appropriate tasks for PAs should be. There are so many teams where a really valuable team role could be carved out for which PAs are well qualified and can be well supervised.

@PhilipSteart @HelenRSalisbury @medicalmodelbri @NHSE_WTE @KamilaRCGP @rcgp @doctor_oxford @DrNeenaJha @DrSelvarajah I can't decide whether this, or that 'experience in primary care' is only 'desirable' seems more inappropriate - so many aberrations here!

An exceptional summary by Dr. Hilary Cass about the Cass Review, the three key dilemmas it found, and why it is critical to move away from the "gender clinic" model care, which inappropriately treats every gender distressed teen as "transgender."

5/ The bottom line is that AA #Taper (& child care issue) are dreadfully designed taxes with inbuilt #cliffedges that are potent drivers to prevent some doctors being willing or able to take on work (or need to reduce current work).

@FondOfBeetles @benryanwriter So sorry to see this catalogued, Emma. (I love the idea of a male pretend academic, by the way!)

[Sarah Ludford 🇬🇧 🇮🇪🇪🇺 🇺🇦 @SarahLudford]

I shall never ‘reconcile’ myself to #Brexit, however long I live.
It is a total, unmitigated tragedy for this country.
It is the product of decades of lies, misinformation, lack of fair reporting and citizen ignorance, in which the Right, the Left and the media have colluded

[Ruth Ibegbuna @MsIbegbuna]

So many tears of rage and sorrow over the UK's shameful scenes.

At @ProgrammeRoots we're fighting for a more connected, compassionate and curious UK.

Never let them dream they are winning.
We are so many. They are so weak.

Pls watch & continue to resist hate.
