What kind of childhood makes a top scientist? Is it enough to have all the right traits (brilliance, grit, etc) or do you need the right family too?

And why should we care? A 🧵 on our paper on the Nobel Laureates.

CHPI's Director writes in today's Guardian on how almost no areas of health and care services are off-limits for investors seeking to generate large returns. At what point did any political party put this in their manifestos? https://t.co/9uEgldWpaY

We’ve been working with NHS England and the Royal College of Physicians on a new strategy for outpatient services. In the first of three blogs, we reflect on what we've heard from patients about their experiences of outpatients.

[Health Services Change Guide @HSEchange_guide]

'Developing Out-Patient Clinics within a Primary Care Network' was an excellent poster presentation prepared recently by Occupational Therapy in Cork North.
@CaseyHilar17606, Chloe O'Connell, @Olivia_Wall_ & Sarika Kaushik utilised the Change Guide poster presentation to demonstrate how they recognised a need for change and improvement within their service. They used the Health Services Change Framework poster presentation template to help guide them as they defined, designed and delivered the improvement outcomes.

Disabled woman, 47, from Cardiff, missed eight weeks of TV licence payments. She'd been struggling so much with the cost of living crisis that she gave up her mobility scooter.

Court imposed fine and costs totalling £204.

[Conor Gogarty @ConorGogarty]

This woman from Wales was recently prosecuted for not paying her TV licence.

She made clear she'd been in an abusive relationship and relying on foodbanks, but was now able to pay in full.

The case went ahead and she got a £146 court bill and criminal record.

This has increased – it was 54% in 2019.

[Joseph Rowntree Foundation @jrf_uk]

Destitution is when people cannot afford to meet their most basic physical needs to stay warm, dry, clean and fed.

Our new report reveals a shameful rise in the number of people experiencing destitution in the UK.

Wonderful submission from MP Fox Odoi Oyweolowo on why he voted against the barbaric anti-lgbtq bill! I'm so proud of him &the other MP who voted together with him. They were just 2 who stood up to bigotry. Over 100+ cowered!!

A sudden burst of people reading my explanation of why your typical Leaderist is completely bloody useless in a crisis 🤣

I can't find the reason 🤓 so a broad spectrum thank you to whoever, wherever, gave my ramblings a #BigUp 😘

1/16: Super thrilled (especially as a wannabe sociologist) to see our paper published in Sociology of Health and Illness today! We explore how NHS Trusts engage with online patient feedback ‘front’ + ‘backstage’. https://t.co/Kj7YRK29rz @Laurainbradford @janekohara @LawtonRebecca

Amidst the gloom at the NHS crisis its easy to forget one factor: sociomedical success

In the last 30 yrs UK health has been transformed.The predictable consequences required long term planning which appears absent
