“I overheard a nurse saying there were no ‘real patients’ in A&E that night… I was sent home feeling guilty for wasting their time.” This is a shocking read, but no surprise. It’s why my sister’s dead. @_1aura doing amazing work to bring change. #Cancer theguardian.com/society/2022…

Hi Twitter, is anyone a primary care policy bod who might spare a couple of minutes for a 'what happens if...?' type question please?
Looking for recommendations please! We don't use Instagram very much for Mission Remission and we're looking to change that. We're planning to use the stories etc. for campaigning (but I'm a total Insta newb.) Can you recommend anyone over there who you like to follow?

Keeping a diary of your symptoms before an appointment could help prevent doctors missing vital signs, says writer @_1aura founder of @mission_rem (whose cancer went undiagnosed because she was ‘too young’) dailymail.co.uk/health/artic…

Deathbeds. Some thoughts. A thread. Most of us haven't seen somebody die in real life. We get our inner pictures from TV dramas, cinema screens, media stories. We've had more of those media stories than usual during Covid19. But we haven't been there for real. 1/n

This is a great piece. We should be clear as patients that our choice to have company when it comes to medical care is never just about "support" - it's about advocacy, translation, back-up, and a whole range of other things that we have a right to as patients! ❤
I’m not pulling any punches on this. People should never be alone when they face death, recover from childbirth, or hear the words ‘you have cancer’. We're 7 months into the pandemic... why are we still here? Something I wrote over the weekend 👇 telegraph.co.uk/news/2020/10…
