For 1 month, people across📍#GazaStrip have been denied aid, killed & bombed out of their homes.
Daily struggles to find bread & water. Blackouts cut people off from loved ones & the rest of the world.
This is forced displacement & humanitarian tragedy of colossal proportions.

Yesterday we went back to the hotel in Knowsley to visit the asylum seekers to see if they were okay. The most common things we heard were “We just want to be safe” “we haven’t done anything wrong” and “Please, can you help us move?”Full report:

The dehumanising language of hate, racism and hostility used by the Government, its ministers, and its departments against refugees is fuelling far-right violence against people who have asked us for safety.

Wrote a blog for @GeriSoc exploring the results of a survey about barriers to attending face to face meetings!
Has comparisons to the results from the GMC trainee survey
(Spoiler: trainees continuing to feel clinical pressures stop them taking study leave📚)
Have a quick read!
The @guardian and @ObserverUK investigation yesterday revealed appalling neglect of children who come to the UK alone seeking safety. We @refugeecouncil will be calling for urgent action to be taken to keep them safe
We are devastated to hear news of the incident in the Channel today, and heartbroken at the reports of fatalities. Our thoughts are with all those affected and we pay tribute to the rescue teams working on such a dreadful incident.
Pls share. There's a little known benefit for grandparents who look after their grandchildren while parents work.
If ur a parent of an under 12, if your parent (ie childs grandparent) do childcare so you can work, u can apply to get em "Specified Adult Childcare Credit"

It's devastating that so many people are missing after a boat sank off the coast of Greece.
Seeking asylum is a human right. We need more safe & legal routes to prevent disasters like this.
Our thoughts are with those on the boat & their families ❤️

Humanity, not nationality.
Prior to a single refugee fleeing Ukraine, there were already more than 82 million people displaced worldwide. Half of them are children.

Don’t let embarrassment stop you having a potentially lifesaving chat
YOU matter as much as your patients
Take care ❤️

Given the situation that has been developing in Afghanistan, we are keen to remind veterans and anyone from the armed forces communities to reach out and talk to family, friends and services for support. See Link for referrals @withoutstigma@SussexAFN
We are thinking of members of the #ArmedForces community who may be affected by events in Afghanistan. If you or a family member requires additional support, don't hesitate to reach out to your local Op Courage service 👇
