@thetrainline Thanks I’ve done that. This train was booked for me by a booking agency (business travel) so I can’t use your app. Your website is very difficult to navigate in these circumstances.

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

Train delayed so missed my connection. @thetrainline says refund with @TPExpressTrains and transpennine says claim with Trainline. Which is it!!??

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

Thanks for the replies but neither of you actually answer the question!

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

@TPExpressTrains @thetrainline My ticket was not accepted on lner and next train wasn’t for 2.5hrs so I brought a new ticket

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

@thetrainline I could wait 2.5hrs or buy a new ticket so I brought a new ticket.

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

@jfdwolff @acutemedicine Yup it’s hit up north too.

@dolphin_fitness help! You have taken money for two orders from me but there is an issue. My email isn’t recognised by website and I can’t put an enquiry in as your verification code isn’t coming thorough so I have no means of contacting you to sort this. Please get in touch

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

@MarekBidwell I didn’t know you’ve written a book. Amazing!

[Jane Atkinson @leglessjane]

Yup. Agree with this. Also support and encourage appropriate self care.

The NHS may be broken, according to @UKLabour @wesstreeting, but here’s how to fix it.

Prevention, Prevention, Prevention, Prevention….

1. Prevent poverty. It’s the single biggest determinant of ill health, and health and social care demand, both now and in the future. Blair and Brown made good progress in reducing it. So it can be done.

2. Prevent illness, with a relentless focus on living well, self-care, mental health support and tackling the commercial determinants of illness. Dental disease is the commonest cause of childhood operations, and yet it’s almost 100% preventable.

3. Prevent existing risks and diseases getting worse, with evidence-based screening and a substantial shift in resources to primary, community and social care

4. Preventing waste and medical harm, by ensuring patients receive the right care, in the right place, from the right people at the right time. This is the toughest nut to crack, as it requires adequate numbers of well trained and well rested staff working in safe, clean environments with the right equipment. We currently spent three times as much litigating harms from maternity care than we do on maternity care. This is a permanent disaster and would be a very good place to start. Instead of repeating our mistakes, we need to learn from them.

@OrkneyUncovered Makes you feel like you are paddling uphill when you kayak here.

A quick reminder that our next #GreenThinkers Book Club is on 23rd May at the Tyneside Cinema in Newcastle to discuss 'FALSE ALARM' by Bjorn Lomborg. All welcome. It's sure to be a good debate.
