From October to March we can’t make enough vitamin D from sunlight. To keep bones and muscles healthy, it’s best to take a daily 10 microgram supplement of vitamin D. You can get vitamin D from most pharmacies and retailers.

I agree with most of the comments about social media helping raise awareness of publications etc. but recently I'm increasingly concerned from a moral/ political point of view and exploring alternatives to X - how have pharmacy community found @LinkedIn ?

[Alison Hemsworth @HemsworthAlison]

It’s definitely helped to accelerate both my career and my ability to have real influence. I’ve also used it to help others develop their own influence. It’s great for out of the box CPD opportunities too. The best thing I’ve used it for is international networking.

Important to remind patients and carers to inform hospital staff on admission, and to mention in any healthcare consultations and appointments.

I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written

I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases).

Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton @UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis.

She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved.

The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C.

As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature.

I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias.

Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F
