Fellow AHPs, has anyone ever arranged a walking group for patients and would be keen to share any learning outcomes with me?

Can you imagine how furious you would be if you developed polio and lived, but had lifelong side effects, and when you turn 12-13 find out that all of this could have been avoided if you had been vaccinated but mom and dad saw a youtube video and their facebook group said not to

It’s extraordinary. Protesters demanding an immediate ceasefire — echoing the call of 71% of the public — are presented as a threat to democracy, but a Prime Minister who ignores the public and erodes their rights says he’s protecting democracy.

Damn.

Alabama is fucked.

10 rules of biscuits:

1. When opening a packet, any broken biscuits must be consumed immediately.

2. Never dunk a biscuit for too long, you will ruin both your biscuit and your tea. Double sadness.

3. Always offer biscuits to guests, even if they claim they're not interested…

Bristol Green Party have issued a statement regarding the protection of Yew Tree Farm

This really is excellent, with clear call-to-actions for Bristol Council, the developers, the agents and the land owners.

Chapeau Bristol Green Party!

Balloon releases are one of the worst ways to remember someone who has sadly left us. You wouldn't chuck a load of plastic bags/bottles down the street and balloons are the same. Plant some flowers/trees or something. You can see that every day if you want to.

Where’s that iron clad commitment? Why are you not here? Why are you silent? Why did you give a lease to the person responsible for this damage?

Would like to know which MPs could vote against an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after watching this visualisation of the children killed so far. Feel free to tag your MP. #ceasefirenow

Kids.

Understandably, there's a lot of focus on the King in the news.
But wouldn't it be appropriate to highlight how cancer services have been run down in the NHS at the same time? Or aren't the rest of the population that important?

When UK police tell you they can't share the outcome of a driver you caught on camera, and reported via Op Snap, claiming GDPR prevents it, or that you're somehow just a witness, THEY ARE LYING TO YOU.
Please read this updated post, and share it widely?

Now there is an incredible woman right there. Jo Bateman is taking South West Water to court, she's simply 'Had enough'. 👏👏👏

If I can help in anyway just shout.

This is the exactly what my GP trainer taught me:

“For you as the doctor, the consultation starts when the patient walks through the door…

For the patient, it starts from when they think about making an appt, the call with reception, waiting for the date & lastly seeing you”
