@JamesRice21 There is a young lady in Slough
Who’s developed a terrible cough.
She’s looking quite rough,
But I’m hoping though
That dear old thing will pull through.

@BucksArchives @PharmHist Bryony, I read that ???? as Ferri sulphatis — “of iron (ferrous) sulphate , one grain”. Quite the tonic mixture!

Oh-no-6-0 today. And I’m being spoiled with that rarest of treats — smoked salmon/scrambled eggs in bed. Mitzy has positioned herself for the champagne!

Welsh artist Gwen John, Self Portrait, 1902. She worked in France for most of her career and is known for portraits of female sitters. She was overshadowed during her lifetime by her brother Augustus and lover Rodin, and as with many women artists recognised more posthumously.

As our Emergency Unit gets busier, we are urging people to think what is meant by an emergency. 🤔

Most minor illnesses can be treated by self care at home. 🏡

4 days after an airline flight, I was “pinged” this afternoon. Negative LF/PCR tests post flight, but I did my civic duty and went for PCR test in Aberdare. So impressed by the organisation @CwmTafMorgannwg @PublicHealthW. Test booked and done in within 70 mins of pinging.

The Doctor Honoris Causa ceremony is one of the most prominent events in the academic life of the university. This year, 13 internationally renowned professors with close ties to the university were awarded honorary doctorates.
Congratulations!

A beautiful and touching ceremony in the historic library ⁦@semmelweishu⁩ this morning. With Vice-rector Professor Peter Ferdinandy , proudly wearing the blue silk stole of Doctor Honoris Causa over my DSc robes. ⁦@burgonsoc⁩

Last night, after a dimly lit dinner with Professors Peter Ferdinandy, Zsuzsanna Helyes and Manuel Mayr @Vascular_Prot, we had a dazzling ad hoc sightseeing tour! Today, I’m off to @semmelweishu to receive an honorary doctorate.

I’m en route to Semmelweis University, Budapest. An apprehensive flyer at the best of times, it’s unnerving to see the inside of Bristol airport after 2 years. Fingers crossed the vaccination passport works at the other end of the journey! 😷

@professorsheila I had to Google that……and agree with your father.

@Fiona_Kinghorn, my executive director partner for patient safety visits this year, is right! Uplifting to spend time with Clare and witness the work of the staff team. Thanks to all for the commitment to patient care on ward A6.

[Fiona Kinghorn @Fiona_Kinghorn]

Thoroughly enjoyed hearing today about the excellent team work & high quality care on patient safety visit with @ProfGFBaxter from Clare Smerdon, Ward Manager in A6 spinal & trauma unit, UHW. Well done to all the team 👏👏@clareacluck1976 @drstuartwalker @CV_UHB

@ProfAntIsles Oh dear god in heaven! I’d eat the chips, suck on the lime, swig a glass of water and run like hell out of there.
