And see my book Good Faith!
This is probably something widely known, but I am learning that Richard Hooker never used the image of a three-legged stool
Also - a good piece by Professor John Barton here

£219... about £4.20 a week… 60p a day...
... roughly what the NHS spends on general practice, per patient, per year.

The NHS has become very good at measuring when a patient leaves a bed.
We need to become better at knowing when they have truly arrived home.
That’s the difference between discharge and nostos. myemail.constantcontact.com/…

pharmacists are great. no question. but the idea that 'minor illness' can always be separated from major or what will be ongoing needs are not true. Additionally, 'minor illness' is often the way that people get to know their GP; builds relationships, and creates trust;

‘Respair’ is a word recorded just once in the OED. It means ‘fresh hope’, a recovery from despair. I wish the world and the Church and human hearts everywhere respair in the new year. @thetimes @guardian @ChurchTimes @churchofengland

It is not too late to put the brakes on assisted dying, and focus on improved palliative, social and end-of-life care

Dear @David_Cameron
I know you mean well, but unfortunately screening for early disease may sound logical and sensible but can also be ineffective and harmful. Recommending a bad test leads to false reassurance, and harms through unnecessary or ineffective treatment that only /
I am disappointed by today’s recommendation on prostate cancer screening from the National Committee.
Targeted screening is a natural first step - but the recommendation today is far too targeted, not including black men or men with a family history, both high-risk groups.
Prostate cancer is the most common cancer among British men. We are letting down too many men if we don’t push for a wider screening programme that includes all high-risk groups - and not just the men involved, but their families too, who risk losing a loved one unnecessarily.
As I know all too well, prostate cancer can be symptomless early on. That’s why screening is so essential - catching the cancers early when they can be more effectively and successfully treated, like in my own case.
I urge @wesstreeting and the government to be brave and bold on this crucial issue. Make the first step more significant than what’s being recommended. Put in place a proper, targeted screening programme that involves all those at higher-risk. Without it, more men will die, more families will lose a loved one. This is avoidable and can be done.

How can we move from accumulation to abundance? What's the relationship between money & spirituality?
We've come to the end of this week's "Daily Meditations," exploring these questions. Revisit highlights from our meditations with today's weekly summary. buff.ly/CIvDLvV

I'm inspired by my colleague @brianmclaren's words in today's "Daily Meditations." He writes:
"We are free to understand Jesus as more than a prophet, but we should never understand him as less."
Join us this week as we explore Jesus as a prophet. buff.ly/SYYVrAf

This is Trevor Fisher, an inpatient in @ArthurRankHouse in Cambridgeshire, speaking to @Channel4News this week.
I am a palliative care specialist and Trevor’s interview has devastated me.
His hospice has just found out that in 6 months, Cambridge University Hospitals NHS Trust will withdraw its £800k funding.
This means that 9 of the hospice’s 16 beds will close, denying patients like Trevor the precious end-of-life care they need.
In total, 200 people a year in Cambridgeshire will now be forced to die in an overcrowded hospital instead of the hospice environment they so longed for. Some will doubtless end up dying on trolleys in corridors - we witness this far too often, these days & I can tell you, it is barbaric.
@CUH_NHS says it has made this “very difficult decision” following a “value for money assessment” - confirming what I have long known as a doctor, that too often, patients with terminal illnesses are treated as second class citizens whose lives simply don’t matter as much as other people's.
Yet the real responsibility here lies not with the NHS trust but with the current government, who is forcing the NHS nationwide to cut clinical services in order to meet impossible “efficiency savings” (what weasel words those are).
These cuts were necessary, say @CUH_NHS, “in order to maintain core services within a reduced budget” - that is to say, the reduced budget they are now receiving from this government.
So this is on you, @wesstreeting, and on you @UKLabour. You've chosen to do this & now patients like Trevor must live - and die - with your choices.
I believe that the measure of a civilised country is how well it cares for its most vulnerable members. The difference between politicians and me is that I look the palliative care patients they are failing in the eye.
So I will put it to you directly, Mr Streeting.
We are still a rich country capable of affording decent, humane palliative care for all. Do you really care so little for dying people that you are happy to fail them on your watch?
Thank you @channel4news for covering this story.
