It’s good to have an older sibling.

Developmentally speaking, the presence of an older brother or sister offers many benefits that first borns and only children may lack.

Linguistically, older children provide their younger siblings both an added conversation partner and…

Quick Covid update - small increase in Covid hospital admissions in England over last week (almost all regions and age groups).
Some European countries showing (small) uptick in wastewater.
Probably at the start of a new Covid wave but hopefully will be relatively small.

Every day as a GP I see the untold suffering of patients:

- waiting 2 years for a hospital appointment
- 24 hour waits in A&E
- struggling to see a GP
-waiting hrs for an ambulance

It’s unbelievable that the NHS has fallen so far so quickly

The only way to change things is by…

I truly believe that if it had been mentioned to me when I did start to become unwell I would have found it less daunting to reach out! This is why I’m proud to have managed to get perinatal mental health within our Making Every Contact Count training! #EveryContactCounts

Important discussions at today’s Maternity & Neonatal Stakeholder Council meeting.
Recognition of the importance of resourcing the whole pathway & better system levers needed to ensure quality of provision postnatally‼️

I’m blind & I just had to say my voting choices out loud in the middle of my polling station.

Voting is inaccessible for many blind & visually impaired people.

Blind citizens deserve accessible, private & independent participation in democracy.

Personal reflection:
It’s hard to be the only ethnic minority woman in a decision-making room. It’s hard to speak but also hard to stay silent. Hard to bear the weight of representation on your shoulders but also hard to dismiss it. If nothing else let’s acknowledge that burden.

Oh, my goodness, what's wrong with people? There's is no way on this planet that #SusanHall should be any where near a position of power.

New report from The Michael Marmot Institute of Health Equity UCL shows that every community is not affected similarly when it comes to health inequalities.

We need a cross-government responsibility for addressing health inequalities and to ensure everyone has access to the building blocks of health.

I'm now starting think that the government believe if you work, you don't need PIP. But guess what, you're still disabled even if you work and you still face extra costs. They don't all magically disappear, in fact they can increase! 🤦🏽‍♀️

Sending love to Sangita Myska - Absolutely terrible behaviour from LBC casually announcing a new presenter in her place without even addressing her disappearance from the airwaves.

Hope she's ok and knows how many of us are appalled at her treatment & proud of her journalism.

I'm not starting to think Shani should be PM.🤔 The Chancellor does not know what #PIP , introduced by his colleagues, is for. Worse, from this clip it appears that Robert Peston doesn't know to challenge him.

I'm 'eyeing' winning the lottery and buying an island to live entirely off grid on. Considering I don't play the lottery I've got about the same odds.

My hobby is making pretty little graphics! 💜😂

Jo and her team's work is important. There is so much I relate to here as a parent/carer, the trauma caused by lack of support from services, lack of understanding is lifelong. Journo friends, there's a strong health piece here. #SEND affinityhub.uk/userfiles/docu…

I used to get irritated by the dawn chorus - West Country Voices westcountryvoices.co.uk/i-used-to-get-…

77% of Covid in hospitals in Wales is GIVEN TO PATIENTS WHO ARE ALREADY SICK IN HOSPITAL.

Why isn’t this headline news?
Why is the NHS ok with this?
Why are patients? Families?
