@63grussell63 When I flew from London to Monza for the GP in 2019 I was on the same EasyJet flight as Lando Norris. Makes more sense now why he was flying on a budget airline 🤣

@Kareno38 @SianElizabeth0 @BBCNews I went to the GP when I was 14,15,16,17,18. I finally got diagnosed with stage 4 endometriosis at 27. I would not have the ‘medical proof’ required during school to be ‘allowed’ to be sick. When I had my period I literally couldn’t walk for the first day.

@RobertD95258624 @marcusveniquis @doctor_oxford I’m non medically trained…and part of a profession that contributes to over 90% of diagnoses in the NHS. Are you saying that the NHS only needs doctors and all the rest are a waste of money?

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@pabloteuk @D_Blanchflower And do I then get a refund because I have no kids and therefore don’t use the schools? And do those who don’t see a GP for a year get a refund for not using the NHS? That’s just not how tax works…we all pay for stuff we don’t use 🤷🏻‍♀️

@Architect9991 @Victoria_Spratt It’s already starting - Barnet Council are coming after ~500 freeholders for £23k to replace timber cladding: https://t.co/NXuSyeV5Oa

@sallykettle Thank you my dear - I will!

@bishy29 I can’t abide cucumber - the taste of it contaminates everything else it touches. So if it’s got cucumber in, it’s not getting eaten. It’s a genetic thing https://t.co/Tpx84TXQFD.

My house is apparently a fire hazard, but not eligible for the same funding high-rise buildings are. Please sign this petition to try and change that: Extend cladding remediation funding to buildings under 11 metres https://t.co/BHSNNuzls9

@smizz Hep A: If you can get a booster then great, if not, your B-cells know how to make the antibody- you’ll be grand. They just won’t be floating around ready to go. Tetanus is not my area of expertise but I know it’s not worth messing with!

@guardian It was Barnet council that told us when we extended our timber clad, timber frame house in 2020 that we MUST use the same materials as the current building…the same ones they’re now telling us are a fire-risk and must be replaced or they will take legal action…

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@rscrase We’ve got timber (not UPVC) cladding in Barnet. We’ve still received a letter saying we must replace it at a cost of £18-23k (council will give us a loan only if we use THEIR contractors to do the work).

@Liztweets_ @EmmaSzewczak Exactly my mothers point when naming me Becky not Rebecca 🤷🏻‍♀️ other than the usual ‘we can’t find R Haywood in the system’ when I give my name, it’s not caused me any hardship.

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@NationalHols auntie and uncle booked a trip with you to the Edinburgh Tattoo in a few weeks…just found out their accommodation is a Holiday Inn at Glasgow Airport?!? Please tell me that is a mistake? How can you run a holiday to Edinburgh and accommodate people in Glasgow?

@NHSBT you might want to post some comms about this - lots of posts showing this screenshot circulating…can’t find it on your website so seems like a photoshop job to me

The ramifications of this are HUGE.
These are the potentially intermittent Long Covid symptoms that make you 🚨unable to donate blood🚨 now in the UK due to the ongoing damage of SARS-CoV-2:
🔥Fatigue 🔥Shortness of breath🔥Headaches 🔥Dizziness 🔥Confusion 🔥Brain Fog 🔥Pins and Needles🔥Skin Rashes

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@1goodtern Do you have a link to the actual page or just a screenshot? I can’t find this on the NHSBT website 🤷🏻‍♀️

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@PhillipaBurns I 100% agree!

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@PhillipaBurns It could cause issues if non-registered are kept on CS scales - the JDs are usually the same as registered staff and they’re doing the same work. It’s going to be tricky to balance I think.

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@PhillipaBurns There’s talk that the clinical ring fence is being expanded soon to include registered BMS/CS staff, but we shall see.

[Becky Haywood @TeslaGirl]

@PhillipaBurns I’m not sure the pension contributions are factored into people’s decisions to move - they see the salary offered: £37,295 CS band 7 equivalent (with no pay progression!) to £40,588 for an AFC band 6 after 5 years in post…
