I love my job as a geriatrician and have an interest in incontinence. I support @eatwithdignity a great charity for people with swallowing difficulties.

The fragility of life is so shocking. I’ve known Michael Mosley for many years - as a tv producer specialising in science and medicine. He was the executive producer of my 2009 series Human Journey. When he started presenting as well as producing, we made several science programmes together. And we met up at Hay Festival just 2 weeks ago. I can’t believe he’s gone.

100% support our junior doctors out on strike this week

A good pay deal is vital to ensure the health of the NHS going forward

They are on the same money than I was 20 plus years ago- funnily enough life is a bit more expensive now!!

[Deirdre Heenan @deirdreheenan]

Junior doctor starting salary in:

🇦🇺 Australia: £60,000
🇨🇦 Canada: £46,000
🇫🇷 France: £43,700
🇺🇸 USA: £41,900

🇬🇧 UK: £29,384

Any ideas why they might be leaving in their droves?

We simply cannot afford to lose these skilled dedicated professionals
