[Hedgehog Cabin @HedgehogCabin]

I've had 7 phone calls this morning already, all saying the same thing - "I found a little hedgehog out in the day so I brought her home and I've got her in a box. She's fine really, just hungry, because she's eating well, shall I just release her in the garden?"
Please remember a hedgehog out in the day is a dying animal, desperate for help.
Hypothermia is a stage of dying, when the body redirects blood flow to the heart and lungs, to give them as much oxygen as possible in a desperate attempt to stay alive.
This leaves the extremities feeling cold, forcing nocturnal animals to come out to get the day's warmth, whether the sun is out or not.
But when we see a hedgehog out in the day, even if we've read somewhere that this means they are seriously ill, we like to prove ourselves right - offer food, see if she eats.
Yes! She's eating, so must be okay, just hungry, right? WRONG!
Wild animals are completely different to domesticated animals.
They have a survival imperative to eat, even when dying, because there's no telling when they may find food again.
This has been bred out of our domesticated animals. So appetite is NOT an indicator of heath.
You can only tell a hedgehog is ill because of their abnormal behaviour.
As nocturnal animals, being out in the day is abnormal - no matter how 'healthy' they look.
Once out in the day they are dying.
It's an emergency.
They need urgent treatment from a good rescue (not a vet).
Sick hedgehogs don't always look sick.
But the fact they are out in the day tells you that they are.
So please don't waste precious time offering food or taking photos, please #BeTheirAmbulance and get them to a rescue urgently.

It’s crazy technology like this exists and people still don’t understand why it’s important to question what they see online every day.

[Farrukh @implausibleblog]

Today in a side room in parliament the government pushed ahead with policy to increase the number of, and role of, Physician Associates

PAs are not doctors, nor GPs, and yet they are being phased in as doctor substitutes and GP substitutes - read that again

This will create a two tier system of health service, those seen by qualified doctors and GPs, and those seen by PAs

We desperately need more doctors and GPs, but instead of training and hiring them (Brexit has made it difficult to bring more in), this Conservative government is watering down the quality of service being offered by the NHS

In 2010 the Conservatives inherited the NHS as one of the world's best health services. Since then they have underfunded the NHS, outsourced so we pay more for the same service, and now they're watering down the quality of staff.

Shame on anyone who still votes for the Conservative party, because they are destroying our NHS

@bazmoult Seems to be a trend to keep to 2/3 headline topics….. so much going on but no mention.

[Lisa Nattrass @lisiwilson]

@bazmoult Grow by removing legal duty to have DPO….. SRI won’t have any impact and a backwards move reminds me of 1984 & 1998.
