@morag_burton @NIHRresearch It's research closer to people - so important to grow alongside other parts of yhe #NHS! So all to play for...

I’d like to inform the Labour Party that women can have fully-fledged thoughts and views about policy too. Our brains aren’t just filled with jealous feelings about our partners. 🙄

@FaustinaYang6 @CambsPboroICS @PeterboroughCVS @NIHR_RSS @NHSEngland You're doing such great work to give local people a chance to get involved in how health and care research is designed and delivered, supported by @PeterboroughCVS and @NIHRCRNeoe - real trailblazing stuff, thank you!

[Dr Philippa Brice @PhilippaBrice]

Call to make @NIHRresearch research maximally inclusive, widening recruitment and reducing inequalities, from @LucyChappell2 speaking @UKRDLeaders summit - absolutely! Great to hear this from the top...

@charlot_summers And rightly so...

🔬 We have a new partnership with @CEPIvaccines for rapid diagnostic tests for Nipah virus and Lassa fever. We'll be leading a project to identify the most reliable tests, empowering healthcare workers to swiftly respond to outbreaks.

@_RoseGray It's good to start practising point blank refusals while they are still young (and I love books...)

The @royalmarsdenNHS and @NorthThamesGMS @Automata_tech build was inspected by @CSOSue and @NHSEngland chair Richard Meddings today.
"The #NHS comes in for a lot of stick, but people don't appreciate how world leading we can be."
He is spot on.

We are calling on policymakers to take urgent action to address the declining physical & mental health of children under 5 in the UK.

Our new report outlines five recommendations for governments & policymakers to #PrioritiseChildHealth and act now:

@davewalker So true...

[Dr Philippa Brice @PhilippaBrice]

Good news, but where is the provision to support research in primary and community care settings? Hope this follows. Much smaller amounts can be transformational and enable many more people to #bepartofresearch...

[Dr Ben Bowers @Ben_Bowers__]

Trailblazing and literally changing the rules this year has been tiring but important. Hope 2024 is kinder

The doors and opportunities are firmly open for clinical academic nurses and AHPs who follow now - through collective change

[Dr Philippa Brice @PhilippaBrice]

SPOT ON! Genomics is great, but nothing is too good to be subject to evidence and evaluation - and (over)selling potential benefits before the evidence is available does not justify skipping over it...

[Clare Turnbull- Prof/NHS Dr @clare__turnbull]

Today in the @TheLancet, we UK geneticists argue: "Population screening requires robust evidence—genomics is no exception"

Don't run before you can walk? @clare__turnbull @Policy_Projects
#cancer care conference acknowledges the potential of #pharmacogenetics, but cautions that adjusting drug doses to sex and weight might offer cheaper and more rapid benefits...fair point!

[Dr Philippa Brice @PhilippaBrice]

What does a 'genomically competent' health system look like? Especially in primary care? Jonathan Miller @SWGLH has some very practical ideas with a clear view of how busy GPs are and how important patient trust is @Policy_Projects cancer care conference #genomics panel

[Dr Philippa Brice @PhilippaBrice]

There wasn't a very illuminating answer unfortunately...commercial confidentiality, noted that might not be this particular test taken forward, direction of travel, etc. But these questions will definitely need answers!

[Dr Philippa Brice @PhilippaBrice]

Superb question to NHS Cancer Programme Driector from @clare__turnbull: why are we pouring money into the GRAIL-Galleri trial for multi-cancer early detection without evidence of improvements in clinical outcomes / capacity for follow up and potential for patient & NHS harm?
