Forgot to say - that's it - I am done with X. 'Twitter' was nice but the neo-nazi symbolism and associated attitudes that permeate X combined with the tools to support pornographic images of children... I'm done with you

[Peter Griffiths @workforcesoton]

@FireBloke89 @bindelj There is a difference. You are not told to be ashamed of your sexual preference and you have never been (and likely never will) persecuted because of it.

Understaffing nurses is associated with a higher risk of sickness absence, highlighting that adverse working conditions can contribute to absenteeism and staff shortages. https://t.co/KJ856rieWJ @ora_dall @workforcesoton

Why vital signs observations are delayed and interrupted on acute hospital wards: delays occur regardless of their clinical priority because other tasks are accorded more 'temporal status' even if clinical priority is lower .https://t.co/O3liOgVeVE

I’ve just edited an academic article and replaced every mention of “paediatric populations” and “paediatric patients” with “children”. Using more complex language doesn’t make academic articles more scientific. It just makes them harder to read and understand.

Teamwork between registered nurses and unlicensed assistive personnel. There's need for clearly defined roles & responsibilities, better delegation practices, good communication & good interpersonal relationshipshttps://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S2666142X25000037

NEW PAPER: Nursing is NOT a set of tasks.

Our theoretical proposition elucidates the complexity of daily work.
Understanding the complexity and interconnectednes of nursing care (and expertise needed) reveals the risks of staffing by task allocation https://t.co/yxrfRujjX8

@CarryPliers @TheRustler83 @OpenVAERS I’ve checked now - 1/3 is about right - a bit less than that but pretty close.

[The Jo Cox Foundation @JoCoxFoundation]

The vitriolic abuse directed at @jessphillips over the past few days is unwarranted and unacceptable.

It is an example of the culture of abuse and intimidation that has become commonplace in our political discourse, disproportionately impacting women and people of colour.

@CarryPliers @TheRustler83 @OpenVAERS I’ve not checked the data source - tbh although it looks too high. Only a small proportion of population get the vax under NHS & I doubt that many pay. Also notice the right axis is % of tests positive not number. In flu season things that look like flu are more likely to be flu

[Peter Griffiths @workforcesoton]

@CarryPliers @TheRustler83 @OpenVAERS Or we just need to see some different data. Two things happen in flu season - early on a lot of people get vaccines then a lot of people get flu. Are they the same people? Let's see rates of flu in vaccinated vs similar unvaccinated people - then we can talk.

@TomJoudrey This post and its replies serve as an object lesson in the fact that X is not a good place for nuance or irony…. I didn’t get the joke - but now I do (thanks another reply). It’s funny and clever but ‘man’ you’ve paid a heavy price!

@mdbuckley I’ve actually been struck by the amount of informed public debate there has been. My sense is that the debate in parliament- the first of several stages before anything passes into law - was informed by and reflected that public debate.

The disappearance of smallpox remains one of the great medical mysteries of our time.

Can't possibly think how it happened.

We must research this more. No proper studies were ever done. I just want more data.
