Laboratory techniques in Clinical Genetics have seen some huge leaps forward in the past decade - but has it come at a cost to the speciality? A short viewpoint with @JulianBarwell at @ejhg_journal https://t.co/Sv6ltKNl33
#andthewinneris… @AgnesAyton from @OxfordhealthNHS.
The judges noted that there were several impressive nominations for Psychiatric Educator of the Year, but Dr Agnes Ayton’s application stood out for her contributions at national level. Her most impressive contributions have been her leading on the rollout of UK’s first Credential in Eating Disorders and Treating Patients Well (AoMRC, 2024 AOMRC Treating Patients Well ) - the first national guidance to formally recognise eating disorders as a required area of learning for all medical professionals are significant pieces of work which impact on training, leadership and patient safety. #rcpsychawards

Air purifiers in Finnish daycare reduced children's illnesses by 18% in a carefully controlled study. This implies huge potential for better public health and cost savings from sick leaves, with a simple intervention against airborne infections.

Jeremy Hunt, "Some Conservatives will wonder whether the scale of our crushing defeat is really justified, but when you lose the trust of the electorate, all that matters is to have the courage and humility to ask yourself why"
