@zabouartist This is brilliant. Where can I see it?

[Neil Ranasinghe @n_D_ranasinghe]

There were some prescriptions from Bounds Green, N11, London. If you know any doctor that had their car or bag stolen recently then please tell them to DM me. Thanks all #medtwitter @TheDA_UK @Doctors_net_uk

[Neil Ranasinghe @n_D_ranasinghe]

Help needed to get a back back to a doctor. This AM I found black leather bag lying in the street in N21, contents all over the road. I guess stolen then dumped. Inside the bag there was a stethoscope, a book with lots of medical notes #medtwitter @TheDA_UK @Doctors_net_uk

[Neil Ranasinghe @n_D_ranasinghe]

Great @talent_tap showing the amazing work they are doing to help students get the interns and jobs they deserve. Thank you @LSEGplc for your support and hope they/we we can do more in the future. Great views from the event and at least one very clever supporter @TheShaunWallace

Tobacco kills one person every five minutes in the UK - this is outrageous. Great to be supporting @CRUK_Policy @BobBlackman @marykfoy and many other decent MPs pushing for more tobacco and vaping controls. @CancerPOINTE @UKIGlobalCancer

However, the fight isn't over. And today they came back – to continue campaigning for a #SmokefreeUK. 💪
