Two days to go until #BSEcho2025! The to-do list’s getting shorter, the excitement’s getting louder, and our suitcases are (almost) ready to zip shut
Next stop: Bournemouth!
Rich patients in rich areas are treated quicker than poor patients - reports @HSJnews
South Warwickshire @nhsswft is a strong performer on waiting lists, but among the worst 5th for patients who are most deprived.

🚨BREAKING: In a shocking moment, Trump says Gaza owes him a “thank you” for sending $60M for food: “You really at least want to have somebody say, thank you… And it makes you feel a little bad.” Millions are starving. Most are children. He is a SICKO.
A final piece of advice from Holly Butcher - written the day before she passed away from cancer at just 27:
“It’s a strange thing knowing you’re going to die young.
At 26, I thought I had time…
To fall in love.
Start a family.
Grow old.
But cancer doesn’t care about plans.
Now, I understand how fragile life really is. Every single day is a gift, not a guarantee.
I’m not writing this to scare you. I’m writing to remind you: really live.
Stop stressing over little things. Be kind to your body- move it, nourish it, stop criticizing it. One day you’ll wish you had appreciated it.
Go outside.
Look at the sky.
Feel the sun.
Just be.
Spend less time chasing “stuff” - more time making memories. Don’t skip moments with people you love.
Laugh more.
Write a note.
Tell someone you love them.
Complain less.
Give more.
Helping others brings more joy than anything you can buy.
Be present.
Put your phone down.
Show up - really show up.
You don’t need to have it all figured out. You don’t need a perfect body, or a perfect life.
Just follow what makes your heart light up. Say no to what drains you. Make changes when you need to.
And please - donate blood. I wouldn’t have had that extra year without it. And that year gave me memories I’ll hold close… forever.
Thank you for reading this.
Live your life well.
And maybe… we’ll meet again someday.”

@UPS can you explain how you can take an unauthorised payment and not respond to my report of this for over a week? I’m still waiting for an explanation for why this payment was taken and for it to be reimbursed to my account (1Z16VM1TD900920034). Customer service is appalling.
Another day of less than £100 sales...if you are in town and buying coffee, please consider us instead of the big chains. Our coffee is delicious and we use local suppliers, roasted here in Liverpool.

Reform UK MP Lee Anderson claims rioters 'aren't right-wing thugs' and 'probably got involved with the wrong crowd' – (photo shows example of 'the wrong crowd')
Amazing reporting from Tom Witherow: he tracked down the person who started the rumours that started these riots. She's a mother of three in her fifties who lives in a £1.5m house in Cheshire: https://t.co/x2nGB5AFQR
A short video made by the amazing @jwillis82 . He sent this to our echo team to help with atrial strain assessment. So important now for diastolic function assessment. 🙌🏾
