@drjen_w @nhsuhcw @FrimleyAnaes @DCAAnaes @disableddoctors Fantastic news Jen! Many congratulations! Good luck with the new job! X

@HMRCcustomers I must say that is unsurprisingly, disappointingly unhelpful

[David Timbrell @drdavetimbrell]

@HMRCcustomers Have called multiple times in last few months about a refund I’m owed. Last two times you’ve promised someone will call me back within 14 and then 3 days. Nothing on either occasion. ie. You have been outright lying on the phone to me. Will you listen and help me??

[David Timbrell @drdavetimbrell]

@HMRCcustomers Personal tax. Unfortunately, it is a somewhat complicated situation. It is not a formal refund but a returned cheque from yourselves which has not been processed for some reason.

@brianmoore666 I have the same problem but Samsung’s Galaxy Buds have been great. Researched for ages.

[David Timbrell @drdavetimbrell]

@drjen_w Congratulations Jen! 🙌

@dr_doddle Your tweet has really resonated with me. I went through this exact experience a couple of years ago and know how difficult it is. Making the decision is a great relief and I’m sure you will feel much more in control of your life having made it. All the best for the future!

This is not an important study. Neither its findings nor its methods are clear. It is flawed to the point where it has no use.
I’m sympathetic to David Davis not understanding cluster randomisation, bias in trials, t-tests and Kaplan Meier analyses, but...

[David Timbrell @drdavetimbrell]

@JonHolb At best, hugely ignorant.

At worst, deliberately misleading.

Both make for a poor barrister.

Very promising data from Israel. 25% population vaccinated. 33% reduction in infection rates in over 60s.

"It's been one of the worst shifts of my entire life"

The BBC has been given exclusive access to a London hospital to see how doctors and nurses are coping with Covid

A good thread balancing science + pragmatism of extending the 2nd dose timeframe...

[Sandy Douglas @DouglasVaccines]

This issue is, appropriately, contentious. As a vaccinologist - & citizen & relative of people in at-risk groups - I fully support the UK decision to increase dose intervals of both our Ox/AZ product and the Pfizer product. I'd happily receive either with a >8w gap. Here's why 🧵

[Paul Bieniasz @PaulBieniasz]

I can't be the only one who is unexcited by the prospect of a purportedly more transmissible SARS-CoV-2 variant, possibly with mutations conferring partial antibody resistance, propagating in a UK population that is 'semi-immunized' for 12 weeks. Experiments in viral evolution...

@davidschneider I just had to do it.

[Marina Amaral @marinamaral2]

For 60 years, medical students have practiced CPR on a dummy doll. The face of that dummy, it turns out, isn't made up. It's based on the face of a teenage girl found dead in the Seine river in Paris in the late 19th century.

@cobhamfreeschl Great, thank you!

As a frontline @FrimleyHealth NHS employee I feel very fortunate to have received the #COVID19Vaccine today. Relieved I can protect my family, friends and help get us out of this mess. #VaccineDay @FrimleyAnaes @RCoANews
