[World Kidney Day UK @kidneydayUK]

A transplant is not a cure. Transplant patients have to take a lot of medication, and common side effects include: weight gain, high blood sugar levels & increased blood pressure.

Please share and help us raise awareness that #KidneysMatter 💛

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

Most people are aware of the main reason Nightingales were a calamity - there were no people to staff them - , but Nightingale hospitals were bizarre for other reasons

Well, bizarre when you assume the govt is acting in the interests of the public’s health…

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Every single time the Conservatives come to power they increase the size of NHS waiting lists.

Right now there are a record 7.5 million real people who are suffering due to political choices.

It cannot be allowed to continue.

How does this approach help the NHS at all? "Back to normal" would be vaccinating to ensure hospitals aren't swamped with people, who really didn't need to be that poorly in the first place.

"Flu and Covid booster jabs to be scrapped for under 65s"

Learning to live with Covid now appears to mean "dying from it" (and from flu too). Read the last paragraph of the screenshot below.

@foodycatAlicia Exactly this. I loved the flyer we got recently saying that our only local bus service was improving to have one bus an hour during peak times. Wow! How useful!

This #CordBloodAwarenessMonth, let's spread the word about the value of #cordblood as an allogeneic #celltherapy source material. RT this infographic to share the many benefits of cord blood as a graft source and help make a difference! 🩸

[Dr. Ann Olivarius @AnnOlivarius]

So, between them, police forces and @CPSUK manage a prosecution rate of rapes of ... 2%.

But they, somehow, find the time for this mother of four.

And, she'll be serving roughly as much time as a rapist who've used a weapon.

@meemalee To be fair, I've worked places where that would be an apt description 😂

[Dr Sharon Vivers @sharonfruit]

@meemalee OMG that cannot be serious 🤣

[Harry Eccles @Heccles94]

Litterally how dare you @SteveBarclay

Steve and his government are literally the biggest threat to nursing and the NHS this country has ever seen.

The cheek of it.

Retweet and comment to send a message to this corrupt anti-NHS government

@nationaltrust My mother in law's wild garlic. I feel some pesto might need to be made 😁

Absolutely fascinating thread. I'm really looking forward to reading the book!

[Rachel Hewitt @drrachelhewitt]

When I started In Her Nature, I kept being told that women didn’t have a long history of sport. I was told that we only started running, hiking & climbing in the 1970s.When I said I wanted to write about women 100 years earlier, even my agent & editor queried whether I’d find any

A new compound, motixafortide, can safely mobilize an optimal number of stem cells for collection and transplantation in over 90% of 80 patients with multiple myeloma with one injection, reports a phase 3 clinical trial published in @NatureMedicine. https://t.co/23bBzCyoor

📢 Today we’re launching our new five-year strategy: unlocking new ways to treat every patient

It underlines our determination to unite science and people more closely, so we can push the boundaries of what we can achieve for more patients: https://t.co/mxESWpFM66

[Dr Dan Goyal @danielgoyal]

If after learning that for the first time in NHS history, the total number of GPs have fallen, leading to the fewest number of GPs per head of population in history and you still blame GPs for not being able to see GPs, you are exactly the gullible voter the Tories are targeting.

@foodycatAlicia Someone I know posted a photo of a hot cross bun with bacon and egg in it yesterday. It's just wrong in every way.
