@oliversgardner Thanks so much for sharing Oliver. Mentoring care leavers is such an important thing to do - it’s something I’d like to do too at some point

Why isn't a single western government or campus or student union or city march or celebrity ally protesting about this obliteration of Afghan women, ever, let alone every Saturday? https://t.co/RATZnv79Xu

[Mariella Frostrup @mariellaf1]

Don’t want to beat the gender drum but if a nation of men were stripped of their basic human rights I’m pretty sure there’d be a louder chorus of disapproval. We can’t abandon Afghan women. No talking in the street: how the Taliban silenced women like me

Valproate (VPA) is teratogen for women. Evidence to NOT prescribe VPA in men & those with severe ID given benefits on seizures/mood is lacking. Our recent r/w discuss inadvertent harm of raising doubt without good evidence. FREE ACCESS/DOWNLOAD @CiderCft

@kate_rackham Je-zus Kate . Your posts are always so positive. The bastard cancer may be making moves on your liver but absolutely does not take your spirit 💪

[SUDEP Action @SudepAction]

It’s alarming that supply issues and policy changes are leading to more people having uncontrolled seizures. Asking people to switch, mix and match meds is no strategy for controlling seizures. SUDEP Action is concerned this will lead to increased epilepsy risks and more deaths.

[Sandie Scrivens @SandieScrivens]

My heart goes out to all families featured in last night's BBC doc who lost children to SUDC. But @BBCPanorama why oh why when featuring children who died from seizures didn't you mention #SUDEP*? From a SUDEP-bereaved mum who feels let down💔*Sudden Unexpected Death in Epilepsy

[Dr. Ron Daniels BEM @SepsisUK]

This week I discharged a young person with mental health issues home from ITU. The very best help - in fact the only health as NHS MH services weren’t interested - we could give them was offered by a charity: this is NOT RIGHT.

[Justine Hancock @health_justine]

Don’t miss this piece - and definitely don’t miss this terrific new series for @BBCSounds - the idea that exercise ‘steals’ energy from harmful body processes is a revelation … and you don’t have to do that much!

[Caroline Scott @scottcaroline]

@kate_rackham Thinking of you so hard today Kate ❤️❤️

[Caroline Scott @scottcaroline]

@JaneFCSupport Having now adopted a child who was at one point driven away I can see a lot of her trauma is to do with the sudden severance of that attachment with us. As a foster cater you have no say and no rights

[Caroline Scott @scottcaroline]

@JaneFCSupport Jane this is awful. Just awful. Have been in that situation too . It’s so messed up you can’t believe it’s happening. Yet they do it and will continue to do it

[Caroline Scott @scottcaroline]

@OncoloJo would you mind if I DM'd you? writing a piece for @mailhealth and would like to ask you for your thoughts on something. 0r please email me on [email protected]

Tomorrow, at 15:45, my short story Mudlarks will be available to hear on BBC Radio 4.

Set on the river Thames, Mudlarks is about what it's possible to find, and what we may lose, which is ultimately beyond our control...

Ultra-Processed People is the @thetimes science book of the year.
Hard to express how much this means to me - thanks to the hundreds of contributors and collaborators who did the research it is based on, and who continue to demand that real food is made affordable and available.

[Caroline Scott @scottcaroline]

absolutely beautiful work by @CatherineECarr listen if you can.

[Catherine Carr @CatherineECarr]
