Feeling so emotional reading these stories of people dying but being saved by paramedics/ A&E/ ITU… why are we not funding the NHS like the Premier League? If it were your mum/ dad/ wife/ husband/ child where would you want the money to go? #NHS NHS Million

What I’ve learned / had reinforced from this crazy few weeks:
- fight for the people you love
- defend the NHS at all costs
- my friends and family are amazing
- my husband is the bravest, strongest, hardest-fighting man I know
- we should all know CPR

We welcome this decision. Data from our membership shows surgeons and dentists need more, not less, mental health support. The wider review must ensure that any changes to the existing service are well planned and improve the mental health support provided.

When I was a CMT1 I was in a godawful post where I ended up driving to a lake to drown myself after work one late night after finishing.

The Trust's Occupational Health sole suggestion was that I talk to my non existent supervisor 'if I was struggling'.

Here we are again with men killing women. My sons know the value of life, and the value of the women who give life. Misogyny and violence against women are a sickness that must be irradicated. More women in visible positions of power would help. Women are the future for peace

When will men realise that they live a completely different life to women? We are always vulnerable to an offhand attack. I still feel the hand of a stranger who grabbed an intimate place on a train 6yrs ago. #WomensRightsAreHumanRights #WomenAreSpeaking

Great tips gents to spice up your formal wear. I am enjoying not being constrained by ‘black suit and heels’ mentality. I even have a neon sequin blazer now… please feel free to express yourself and liven up boring old conferences with some personality 💃🏻🕺🏻👯

Shocking PR. All female patients? If you are a Senior white male surgeon, for the love of God please ask to see who else is on the panel and what the press release will be!!! 🤬 SO embarrassing! 🫣 Let’s drag these idiots into the 21st Century… #manel I Love Manels The Royal College of Surgeons of England

Really interesting 🧵on #TransDayOfVisability
