@northernassist is the train to Manchester Piccadilly leaving Sheffield or is it cancelled?

@Halfords_uk this suggests that escooters are an alternative form of transport! Only on the price label does it state it is illegal to use in public places! This is poor advertising and the reason we are seeing increasing number of escooter injuries in our A&E’s! @ObserverUK

@DrRJWebb @pepemac27 @NJBanbury Newcastle - it was a long wait for the transport team when you needed them acutely!

[Rachel Tricks @racheltricks]

@DrRJWebb @pepemac27 @NJBanbury Back when they were last pushing for a big change in the number of paediatric cardiac centres I remember people complaining how far they were now going to have travel- and thinking that’s less than my current Whitehaven patients have to travel currently!

@drruthannharpur @theodoraclarke For no2 was moved but more due to the fear of not being ready at home ( I’d finished work 2 days before). Again it’s knowing it’s the right thing to do! We need to support and educate women about all possibilities better!

I had a failed induction with no1 with poor CTG but having the understanding that the right things were happening to protect the baby I was ok. But that was only due to my paediatric background.
