inpatient guest wifi is not working at Northwick Park Hospital. It has not been working for a minimum of the last 5 days. This means patients with no/limited mobile data are unable to access the internet for basic tasks. Can you fix please? CNWL NHS FT

A long shot but we got on a train at Surbiton (final stop was Guilford). It was the 17.06 from Waterloo. Anyway, there was no one in the 1st carriage but there was a bag of presents, all for ‘Holly & Dan’. Pls retweet if you can, hopefully these can find the recipient 🤞❤️

Leaked emails reveal that the tech giant Palantir has hired Topham Guerin to pay influencers to attack Good Law Project on social media – but the source of the money is to be kept “confidential” 👀

MPs are in line to receive an above inflation pay rise of 7.1%

Yet the government don’t think junior doctors deserve more than 6%, despite a decade of real terms pay cuts

Please RT if you agree health workers deserve so much better

Dementia training often has too much biomedical bias. Rather than focusing on deficits or fighting dementia as a disease, we work positively with the condition as a disability.
Book now for Jan or April start.

Just a reminder, the evidence-base for everything that is evidence-based is that:

It works for some people, some of the time, in some circumstances.

There are always other options.

No one should be written off as a 'hopeless case' cos one approach hasn't worked.

Hi Twitter, please help me do the thing.

My Dad is terminally ill, we don’t have long left.

I am trying to find a recording of an old show that aired on ITV in 1997 - It’s called You Bet. If anyone has access to the ITV archives or knows anyone that does, please get in touch

15 days since @EasyJet broke my wheelchair.

9 days since I signed the agreement EJ gave me, but no payment yet.

4 days since their last contact with me (an email saying I will get back to you in 24-48h).

It's really getting to me... 1/2.

'If OT associations around the world did not make actions, we can and will do '

I'm in the process of creating a volunteer group, who are native Arabic and English speakers, that will go through intensive training webinars to be ready to do rehab for our brothers and sisters…

Ever thought the main problem with laxido/movicol for patients on fluid thickeners was that they’d be even more disgusting to drink? Turns out it’s actually dangerous. I hadn’t been aware of this 2021 safety flag in the BNF until a speech & language therapist alerted me to it. ⬇️
