@docrobberts 😥 how horrible

[Salema King @salema_king]

@Docoff3 Omg I get that! I have a friend from Jamaica have you met?.... er... No

[Salema King @salema_king]

@Docoff3 As a med student a patient once introduced himself by asking what part of Africa I come from. I muttered that I'm from Norfolk... didn't know if I should mention I'm actually half Jamaican or was he wanting to know which African country my slave ancestors were trafficked from?

This is awkward 😳

Trainees! Have you seen our education webinar tomorrow Friday 21st May from 15:30? There will be case studies and practical approaches to managing the unwell presenting child. See you on Teams! https://t.co/zOWfwWxbbY

This article says “we cannot forget the youngest children.” but in focussing on 2-4 year olds it does just that #babyblindspot https://t.co/EC3lXzdr6D

@gavinoattes Yep

@nationaltrust @dr_cscott @makesmilk @ncdalliance I know @nationaltrust has suffered financially in the pandemic. But breaking the @WHO code on promotion of breast milk substitutes is not okay. Breastfeeding rates are low enough as it . Very disappointed 😞

[Salema King @salema_king]

"You may be seen but you will not be heard" ... so on point. This pandemic has been disastrous for so many children and young people.

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

Our incoming President @CamillaKingdon and @russellviner have written to @thetimes about the UK government's failure to speak with and listen to children and young people throughout the pandemic.

@NeoResearch_Net @NICU_Musings Yep.... tea=life

[Salema King @salema_king]

Looking forward to seeing the new training programme in action, hopefully more modern and more flexible #RCPCHprogressplus

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

We’ve now submitted our plans https://t.co/LGdz7lTx6q to reform paediatric training to the @gmcuk. Subject to approval, we will introduce a new two-level, run through specialty training programme by 2023, ensuring it is flexible, fulfilling and fit-for-purpose #RCPCHProgressPlus

[Salema King @salema_king]

@LaurenDhugga Yep... no zero days from motherhood

[Salema King @salema_king]

@Docoff3 Disappointed, yes. Surprised, resoundingly not.

[Ernestine Ndzi @ndzitina]

This really has to stop. We need a clear national policy on breastfeeding. Let mothers freely chose not forced on how to feed their babies. @PregnantScrewed @NBHelpline @BfN_UK @NCTcharity @Prof_AmyBrown @BorisJohnson

[Salema King @salema_king]

@LaurenDhugga @KeepJesClean @jesmondlocal That is shocking! Why aren't @NewcastleCC doing anything about this?

[chris dewhurst @cjd77uk]

This is going to be amazing. The first NICU in the UK to have "single family rooms" keeping families together when they need it most. The Liverpool Neonatal Partnership @PiPforpaeds @AlderHey @LiverpoolWomens
