We've all probably heard about the planned emergency alert test on Sunday, but we're sharing this with anyone experiencing domestic abuse and who has a hidden device.

Like and share to get the message out there to everyone that might need it 💙

[NHS England @NHSEngland]

AHPs are the third largest workforce in the NHS and play a vital role in treating, rehabilitating and improving the lives of patients.

This #AHPsDay we want to say a huge thank you to AHPs across the NHS for all your hard work looking after our communities. 🙏

Our @BAPENUK analysis showed identifying & treating #malnutrition saves at least £123,530/100,000 people, a £65m net saving for England alone. A large proportion of these savings is due to the clinical & cost effectiveness of nutritional support reducing healthcare use #UKMAW2022

Original (cancelled) flights:

[David Podbur @davidpodbur]

So now it turns out the flight we had been told was cancelled (necessitating additional night’s stay in Barcelona at short notice) is still going ahead??? What is this? Some sort of sick joke? BA 475 Barcelona to Heathrow. And we still have no luggage #shambles @SimonCalder

[David Podbur @davidpodbur]

@British_Airways please help! Our bag was lost en route from Heathrow to Barcelona on Saturday night (BA406). We are in France for a week without our clothes and essential medication. There is no update to the website and no one answer the customer helpline. PLEASE HELP!

[David Podbur @davidpodbur]

Great news that our cancelled flight has now landed at LHR. Thanks for completely ruining our holiday and LYING to us @British_Airways
