Celebrate @RCPCH_and_Us Wonderful to be part of the 40th anniversary of the world’s first & leading rare disease surveillance unit @theBPSU , RCPCH at 30 & @ADC_BMJ at 100.

Inspire @RCPCH_and_Us Seeing medical students & trainees delivering high quality research in the plenary sessions 🙌. Chatting 2 several medical students was reassuring about the future of paediatrics. The voice of the CYP before every session was moving & inspiring to the max👏

Reflect @RCPCH_and_Us We must change the model of training med students & PG doctors on how to care for people but give them little understanding of the community & the system they serve. Hidden curriculum is not abstract. I envisage ICBs working with UG & PG 2 fix this anomaly🙏

Just returned from @RCPCH_and_Us . The voice of CYP must be heard for care to be holistic. They said…, and we must listen always. Look out for my other insights post 2026 celebratory conference.

Spot the difference?⚽️ puzzle in 2026. Papa Milla did his Makossa dance (similar to Lambada) 4 times during Italia 90 WC & received zero (0️⃣) yellow card for it. Just putting it out there. Anyone able to help me solve the puzzle? Pix are not mine but are online images 👍🏻.

Thank u @CDOWales @fwoleary1 & Dr Helen Stewart for a wonderful workshop on CYP’s oral health. Paediatricians agree that it is their business & we will see a ripple effect. It is the child’s right to access evidence based information & support 4 a healthy living. We’ve got this!
