@felicitydevere @Keir_Starmer I got so excited at the first part of that sentence, ‘I didn’t know she had a cat?!!!’ 😂

@GarminUK Thanks, sent!

Hey @GarminUK why does the @dexcom app not work on devices in the UK? Just bought the Venu for my husband with #T1DM and it’s useless for him without this app! We don’t want to swap back to Apple…

[Vicky Shaw @vcs672]

@GarminUK Sadly when we try it through the app it says ‘sorry, this app is not available in your country’

Considering we get our most robust political advocacy from footballers (@GaryLineker) & ice cream (@benandjerrysUK), it is no surprise to anyone that this article is tosh

👇🏻This👇🏻 is the real story, & pretty hard to spin

Afternoon all

What a handy graph.

In light of #MedTwitter's latest binfire (teabag-gate)

I think it's useful to note that in an environment in which trusts are directly employing insufficient numbers of staff on unacceptable rates of pay; they need to consider non-pay factors which they can affect... 🧵

Men’s Football “it’s coming home…”

Women’s Football “well, actually…”

A huge day for 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿 sport, & a win of greater impact than many perceive

#Football came home & they were the ones to do it

@OrthopodReg God, spare me the sanctimony of people who say “back in my day it was one in two” when that referred to both the rota and the number of drugs to chose from in the BNF.

I’m not gonna use *the hashtag* but:

Newly qualified doctors, here’s some rota nuggets that I didn’t realise were true for YEARS.

#medtwitter I have just been mugged off by cons microbiologist as they ‘only speak to SpRs or above’- my q was straight forward and I had been well briefed by the cons (I’m end FY1) thoughts? Should I have pushed back harder? #howamimeanttolearnifyouwontspeaktome

Demand in General Practice remains extremely high
In no small part it is due the 1/10 of population waiting for hospital appts/surgery/investigation
It is impossible to provide more appts 1.4million a day
If you can’t see/speak to a GP it’s because someone else is

Excellent ‘script’ from the @TheBMA on how to address the usual toxic attitudes & bullying that emerges when asked to work non-contract hours

It may be for @BMA_Consultants but I’ve used these & similar when pressured to work outside my hours

Share far and wide #medtwitter!

@ollieburtonmed I always find the skin is weirdly thick there, and so I end up wiggling around with variable success so now I don’t tend to bother but will generally take what I can get!

Did you know?
11th Jan 1922: 1st #Insulin dose was given.
BUT it didn’t work & Leonard Thompson nearly died

Canadian biochemist James Collip then purified insulin & the 2nd injection given on 23 Jan 1922.

100 years to the day.

It saved his life - and the rest?
Is history.
