Deaths of people sleeping rough up 42% according to @our_MoH
This rise is tragic. It's important that every death is investigated with a safeguarding adult review so that we can prevent people from prematurely losing their lives in future.

Husbands coming to see me today- as every day- the sheer love and outpouring of support also taking about death and living in a hospice is a brilliant thing - people need to have more dialogue around death and how families are affected at this time- it’s scary I know

"I was hospitalised with marasmus (severe malnutrition) and muscle wastage at three months. The doctors grew increasingly suspicious when I was hospitalised with a burn on my foot around the size and shape of a cigarette end that had become septic."

Would be grateful for a RT. My daughter was not a celebrity, she was just a normal individual who unfortunately died from a brain cancer. I'm trying to raise awareness of glioblastoma, a grade 4 tumour that took her at the age of 19 yrs 5 days.
With thanks (Charlotte's mother)

Migraine halted play but this happened - I was awarded the Humanitarian award by @futuredreamss charity
Still groggy. Videos will come.
Humbled to my core

Yesterday I received the Humanitarian Award from @futuredreamss
The award honours remarkable individuals who have dedicated their time to raising breast cancer awareness, support, and research, while demonstrating deep compassion, advocacy, innovation, and making significant contributions to improving the lives of those affected by breast cancer.
I was humbled and honoured and a little bit weepy to accept it. I cannot tell you how incredible it felt to stand on that stage with a room full of people cheering me and thanking me for everything I have done since I was diagnosed myself with breast cancer
There are so many people to thank and to mention, and I will do a separate reel with all the fun photos to try and remember as many as I can.
I’m post-migraine and a bit hazy - huge thanks to James the security manager who found me a room to sleep it off in after throwing up in the toilets of the @thesavoylondon
To Sam Jacobs, Louise and everyone ar @futuredreamss, @EsteeLauderUK , to everyone who hugged me and said Hi yesterday (and all of those who didn’t), to everyone on here who’s congratulated me - THANK YOU from the bottom of my heart.
To Mum and Dad (RIP) and my incredible husband Dermot who has stood by me through thick and thin. I couldn’t do any of this without you.

Thank you to the many thousands of people across the whole of the NHS & social care who helped deliver the care during the pandemic. Has been a strange and difficult day. But felt it was important to give witness to some small part of the enormity of the challenge we all faced.
Prof @Kevin_Fong (Former National Clinical Adviser in Emergency Preparedness Resilience and Response) is giving evidence to the Inquiry today.

This makes me so angry. I’ve known Kev since I was 18, and I’ve never seen him like this. I don’t believe in hell, but these medics and carers were in it, and the bastards who made light of this plague, denied it, called it a flu, and made it worse for everyone, you deserve it.
Prof @Kevin_Fong giving the most devastating and moving testimony to the Covid Inquiry of visiting hospital intensive care units at the height of the second wave in late Dec 2020.
The unimaginable scale of death, the trauma, the loss of hope.
Please watch this 2min clip.

Some things I’ve learnt over the last few days as an inpatient that I will use in my clinical practise - staff work hard and are trying their best, that a smile to a patient makes all the difference, to flush cannulas gently because it can sting at the start, that being told you’ve got to have an operation and biopsy that day you come in thinking it’s a quick review and then home when all you’ve got with you is your school bag and no family with you is scary and lonely, that being told news is scary, that coming out of general anaesthetic can make you a bit weird - I was very chatty and a bit grumpy, that going into theatre on a trolley is terrifying and you hand over your life to someone else’s care and that the ones that look after you when kind and patient to you are the best people in the world - they can really make a patient feel like the most important person in their clinical world in that moment. I’ve learnt more about medicine as a patient myself than I have in all my years as a doctor. #humbling

Labour conference somehow has the vibe of a Great Western train after the previous 3 have been cancelled. Crowded, hot, harassed staff moving people from sitting on the stairs. #LabourConference2024

It only takes 1 person in a system to stand up & say “This is wrong let’s stop” or “We’re managing decline let’s reform”. But it takes courage in a controlling culture. Finding another brave person & standing together is the start of a rebel alliance; creating impetus for change.

Why have we partnered with @bluelightcard?
We want to recognise and celebrate the homelessness sector across the UK, and the essential role they play in helping their local communities and beyond.

New free school meals analysis.
The UK and devolved governments must change the qualifying criteria so that every child who needs a school dinner has one, while working towards removing means-testing entirely from the dinner hall.
ALT Map of four UK nations with percentages of school children in each who are growing up in poverty but not eligible for free school meals. Scotland: 20% England: 33% Wales: 15% Northern Ireland: 20%
