Today is #WorldPrematurityDay

Globally, 1 in 10 babies is born too soon – before 37 weeks of pregnancy. Complications relating to prematurity are the leading cause of child deaths.

Small and preterm babies everywhere need special care and attention, starting immediately after birth https://t.co/NLKgQcHy75

The @Conservatives, @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland have decided, rather than being the ‘stepping stone’ year to signal safety, stability, and hope - 2024 will instead signal reduced patient access to GP services as well as likely closures of GP practices across the country.

Great initiative which is appreciated by all the teams!

1/ NEW & IMPORTANT: OK on the eve of junior/consultant strikes, we need to talk about these charts (NEW data just in!) 👇

We need to look at them to fix waiting lists & its increasingly clear next GE will be won or lost on the NHS

Please read the whole 🧵 & share widely / RT

@CarterWendyE Happy new year Wendy!

@huhmaternity How did I miss a photo with Brioche? I was there the whole day!!! 😱😱

[Professor Claire Hopkins @SnotSurgeon]

NHS special - patients to be cancelled as no working lifts to get them down to theatres and then out of recovery. For all the talk of AI transforming healthcare, all we really need is a chair, a computer that works and a lift

A moving piece by @amitkatwala. 💔by their loss.

[Amit Katwala @amitkatwala]

In September last year, our son Rayan was stillborn. It was devastating, but was made worse by the silence around stillbirth, especially for men.

With that in mind, I wrote something for @guardian about what happened, and how we survived. Please read + share if you can

[Feryal Clark MP @FeryalClark]

16 Housing Ministers in 13 years

8 Home Secretary’s in 8 years

6 Education Secretary’s in 4 years

5 Chancellor’s in 4 years

4 Health Secretary’s in 2 years

3 Prime Ministers in a year.

The list could go on.

This circus show govt should not.

We need a General Election now.

519 babies! So proud to work with such an amazing team @huhmaternity during this incredibly busy time ❤️

[Homerton Maternity @huhmaternity]

It’s been hectic. We’ve had to make decisions that are challenging for people on occasion to make sure we keep things safe, and we’ve had to work our little scrubs, uniforms and socks off….

[The BMA @TheBMA]

"Are you prepared to sit down with the BMA?”
“Of course we are, we’ve tried multiple times”
@RishiSunak falsely claiming to have tried to negotiate with us when in reality we've now asked in 10 separate letters to meet with Govt to discuss pay and every request has been rebuffed.
