@Smithkjj @HealthFdn All good thoughts - thanks Kev. Making it convenient for staff definitely helps but I think we're seeing low take-up even in hospitals which are offering on-site vaccination and I'm worried by anecdotal reports of clinical staff being actively resistant/sceptical.

Excellent analysis of NHS winter pressures from @HealthFdn
From a public health perspective it's troubling that we're struggling with the most basic prevention measures.
Genuinely looking for answers to explain this trend and what we can do about it 👇

If you’ve ever wondered what I do or fancied having a go: these roles don’t come up very often. Lovely RDPH and dRDPH and a great team well cared for by the peerless @Drmbaker for many years. Come and join the people that oversee the nation’s health and the nation’s health budget

Really useful context for discussion of tax burden...

[John Burn-Murdoch @jburnmurdoch]

The main reason is demographics.

Ageing populations everywhere mean more older people living longer lives (read: more healthcare use) and being supported by fewer young people.

So the healthcare bill (where most tax revenue is spent) is rising virtually everywhere.

@RobbButler2 Answer below 👇 now. The trick is spotting that white's only legal move makes its position worse.

[Tim Elwell-Sutton @tim_esPH]

For any chess buffs out there. This came up in a game I played the other day and it's so neat, I have to share it. Black to move and mate in 2.

[Tim Elwell-Sutton @tim_esPH]

@RobbButler2 I didn't either! Saw it in the post-game analysis.

The UK will become the first country in the world to roll out a national vaccination programme against Respiratory Syncytial Virus (RSV), protecting infants & older people from becoming seriously ill. RSV accounts for 39,000 hospitalisations each year.

Don't #missell #prevention. I've recently seen people using the spend £1, get £14 back statistic. This is not about magic cash-saving, but return-on-investment, v different, see below. I worry about this. https://t.co/kZqUVRwAK4
