Sharing our deepest and heartfelt condolences today with the family and friends of Jo Taylor along with @METUPUKorg. The team at Paxman had the pleasure of partnering and collaborating with Jo over many years, her unending passion to drive change made a true difference.
Last night, to celebrate October Breast Cancer Awareness Month, The Nightingale Centre at Wythenshawe Hospital held an open information session. Participants learned about the breast screening process and how best to encourage people to attend breast screening. A mobile breast screening unit was also present and participants had their questions answered by the breast screening team.

A letter from the Israeli detainee, Danielle Aloni, who was released by the Al-Qassam Brigades, that she left for them:
To the soldiers who accompanied me in recent weeks, it seems that we will part tomorrow, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart for the extraordinary humanity that you showed towards my daughter, Emilia. You were like parents to her, you invited her to your rooms at every opportunity she requested. She confesses to feeling that you are all her friends and not just friends, but real good companions. Thank you, thank you, thank you for the many hours you were like a nanny. Thank you for being so patient with her and showering her with sweets, fruits, and whatever was available even if it wasn't available. Children should not be in captivity, but thanks to you and other good people we have met along the way, my daughter considered herself a queen in Gaza, and in general she admits to feeling like she was the centre of the world. We have not met a person on our long journey, from the soldiers to the leaders, who did not act towards her with kindness, tenderness, and love.
I will forever be a prisoner of gratitude towards you, because she did not leave here with psychological trauma. I will mention your kind treatment of us, despite the difficult situation that you were dealing with yourselves and the difficult losses that befell you here in Gaza. If only in this world we could be truly kind.
Friends, I wish you all good health and love to you and your family members.
Thank you very much.
