It is not fear-mongering or disability-shaming to state this is a genuinely pressing societal issue that needs untangling. 👇

Young people need purpose, activity & community. A diagnosis which comes with cash handouts (and discourages work) does the opposite. 😔

[Dr Katie Musgrave @dr_musgrave]

I agree - UK has huge levels of overdiagnosis. There’s money to be made in receiving a diagnosis, in running private clinics, and for big Pharma selling drugs.

Of course there are some who genuinely need support/ treatment, so most doctors prefer not to comment. And on it goes..

Honoured to join Woman’s Hour again. 💙

This time we talked about a huge new study linking earlier menopause and cardiovascular health — and why every woman needs to know about this.

Heart disease and menopause are inextricably linked. But most women have never been told that.

Especially women in communities already at higher risk — like women of South Asian heritage — this information could be life-changing.

We’ve somehow ended up in a world where women know more about collagen (consumerism) than about their heart health (survival). That has to change.

This is exactly why I wrote The Little Book of HRT — because too many women have been left out of the menopause conversation entirely.

[British Menopause Society @BrMenopauseSoc]

This morning, BMS Trustee Professor Anne MacGregor joined @Dr_Ellie on @BBCWomansHour to discuss the recent @TheLancet PURE study.

The prospective cohort study of 100,000+ women found that premature menopause is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease and provides important evidence from diverse populations across multiple countries.

The findings reinforce the importance of considering menopause history when assessing cardiovascular risk.

My brand new column in the Mail on Sunday launches this week 📰

Breaking away from the questions and answers format, it’s all going to be opinions and thoughts on health and the world from my lens in clinic.

It’s a fabulous refresh and I’m really excited about a new way of writing and speaking to my audience about health! ☺️

Watch closely new video showing the U.N. reaction: as courageous former hostage Ilana Gritzewsky confronts October 7th denier Reem al-Salem—by recounting the horrific abuse she suffered from Hamas—the U.N. rapporteur on violence against women sits there stone-faced. No empathy.

[Zac Goldsmith @ZacGoldsmith]

Not even a hint of empathy on her smug face. Not even a pretence.

Never been a member of the BMA ❌

50% of UK doctors are not members ⛔️

Thanks to antisemitism and militant strikes I’ll not bother 💪🏻

[Nicole Lampert @nicolelampert]

The doctor’s union, the BMA, has just voted that antisemites should be defended and that the definition of antisemitism should be binned.
This comes after @LordJohnMann has outlined issues of antisemitism among NHS staff.

My thoughts on the #socialmediaban 🧵

Tackling  online content is non-negotiable — but banning under-16s may be treating a symptom, not the disease

This policy ticks a box. But ticking the wrong box can be more dangerous than ticking none at all.

The real culprits? Algorithms. Infinite scroll. Dopamine hijacking. These are harmful at any age dragging vulnerable people into worlds, moods, illnesses, behaviours, actions and relationships they would never have entered without being algorithmically dragged there.

I have sat with someone living through exactly this. It is devastating, life-threatening, and extraordinarily difficult to escape.

I'm deeply concerned this ban points us in one wrong direction — and worse, it may slam the door on confronting the far bigger issues underneath.

'They're saying they've had enough.'

Former Conservative MP Mike Freer, speaks to GB News Home and Security Editor Mark White, about the 'outpouring of anger' from the Jewish community this evening in response to the stabbing of two Jewish men earlier today.
