Melanie McDonagh spells out the inevitable slippery slope into full scale euthanasia: always incremental.We need world class palliative care for all who need it. To die with dignity we don't need a doctor to kill us.@thelizcarr @Tanni_GT @Live_Die_Well spectator.co.uk/article/the-…

Powerful speech from @Plaid_Cymru Deputy Leader @DelythJewellAM against assisted suicide🔥
Assisted suicide is not a progressive policy.
👉 Ask your MP to stop assisted suicide being rushed into law. It only takes 30 seconds here:

the biggest miscarriage of justice this country has ever seen: I just signed the petition calling on Paula Vennells, the former CEO of the Post Office to be stripped of her CBE. Will you sign too? #MrBatesVSThePostOffice you.38degrees.org.uk/petitio… via @38degrees

Politicians and pundits need to stop parroting the myth that pay rises are driving inflation.
Inflation is soaring amid the longest period of wage stagnation since the Napoleonic wars.
According to the IMF, corporate profiteering is the single biggest cause of rising inflation.

Sometimes we don’t change lives by changing outcomes; sometimes we do it by impacting the narratives our patients hold about those outcomes. So grateful to JAMA for sharing this piece. jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…
With 100 million displaced people in the world, (700,000 more in the last month in Sudan) I want to see my country leading the international campaign to tackle root causes. Not scapegoating vulnerable people. As a nation, we are better, much better than that. 1/2

🚨 It's crazy that the NHS has told 350 doctors training in anaesthesia that the NHS has no job for them after 3 years training.
At the same time we have massive shortages of, you guessed it, anaesthetists. These self-defeating bottlenecks defy logic. Statement from @RCoANews

It’s really very simple….
#JuniorDoctors are highly qualified, motivated & resilient professionals. Their skills are in demand across the world & they could easily find employment outside 🇬🇧which would give them a better quality of life & significantly increased pay.

For everyone who is morally ambivalent over junior strike action read the data. Absolutely clear the sector has been singled out for wages suppression (? Pre privatisation) Have we asked repeatedly for change?Yes. Any response? No. Will THEY stop? No. So striking only option

'If we want to retain our doctors then we do have to pay them properly'
@DrAmirKhanGP speaks to @GMB about yesterday's announcement of the next round of #JuniorDoctorsStrikes
Junior doctors are to stage a four-day walkout from 11th-15th April in the fight to get a 35% pay rise in England.
'They are referring to this as a pay restoration not a pay rise.'
@DrAmirKhanGP explains the reasoning behind the junior doctors' request.

“The state of Britain's rivers: Slurry, silage and sewage.”
A lethal cocktail by anybody’s standards. @newscientist continues on its quest to clean up our rivers.

“Exceptional situations”?
Now what exactly might those have been?

I only watched Paul White house’s documentary, “Our Troubled Rivers” on Monday. I am deeply shocked by the horrendous mismanagement and wilful destruction of our beautiful rivers, lakes and coastal waters through greed and callous indifference. Shame on you! @YorkshireWater
