Great care last night for my wife from ED consultant Katy Ritson @KatyMAJones - kind, cheerful, thorough, everything one could wish for in an ED doc despite patients waiting and junior staff on strike @RCEMpresident @RCEMPolicyVP @iwgc

@Gatwick_Airport How are the queues in departures at Gatwick today?
English
🚧 Travelling this week? Due to planned rail strikes, significant disruption will affect train journeys to and from Gatwick Airport between 21 and 26 June.
Arrange private transport where possible and plan your journey in advance

@Scotti8550 @cstanaway It's not horrendous optics for Australia at all - good for them for sticking to their rules. I think the decision will be widely respected and saves the embarrassment of Djokovic being constantly booed while he plays.

Novak Djokovic has been transported to a quarantine hotel in Carlton where he arrived a short time ago. It’s understood he’ll depart on a flight later tonight. Whilst he’s being deported, he can re-apply for a Visa - although that now appears increasingly unlikely #AusOpen

It was a joy to see @ProfRoland receiving the @rcgp Foundation Council Award at the RCGP AGM. Martin is a master of translating research & evidence into health policy, & of criticising authoritatively when policy isn't evidence-based. Martin, I & others helped develop the GP QOF

It's very important to take on board the messages from this seminal paper by fab Jenny Newbould & @garyabel @DrCLSaunders @ProfRoland
showing telephone first results on average 8% increase the mean time spent consulting by GPs bmj.com/content/358/bm…

Triage is also being done very differently in different practices, and process for booking appointments is variable too. Rapid learning opportunity - where is this working well, why? Sharing best practice.

@rupert_pearse Do we know who the very sick / people who die are? Are they broadly unvaccinated? Or, if vaccinated, immuno-suppressed? i.e. do fit vaccinated people get seriously ill?
English
@ashishkjha One block is getting the 18-25 year olds to be vaccinated. Our govt, against their natural instincts is talking about making vaccination compulsory for night club entry. Very ‘un-conservative’.
English
I know I sound like a broken record
But here's the thing
The vaccines are largely working as expected
We had an outbreak in P-town with lots of vaccinated folks infected
No one died. Very few got sick
And things have returned to normal
This is how vaccines work folks
Alex Morse@AlexBMorse
The vaccines are working. Of the 900 cases related to the Provincetown cluster, there have been no deaths, 7 hospitalizations, and the symptoms are largely mild. Our positivity peaked at 15% on 7/15 and was only 4.8% yesterday. The outbreak is contained and Provincetown is safe.

@ashishkjha Hope you’re right Ashish. Here in the UK, big experiment of lifting almost all restrictions with loads of delta still about. Early days, but reasonably promising so far.

Really nice summary of the evidence!

The rising personal and collective burden of living with multiple conditions poses one of our most significant public health challenges. Read the review to understand the existing evidence, what it offers and the gaps that are left to fill.

This woman hit my car. Her husband was nasty & tried to intimidate me. 5 men in plain clothes jump out of the car to help because he was so awful & he shouts "Don't get involved, I am calling the Police."
They whip their badges out and said "We are the Police, leave her alone."

@trishgreenhalgh Sorry to hear about all the trouble you’re having, but please don’t block me. I’m not a great Twitter poster but I do enjoy reading your and others’ posts. Best wishes, Martin

We’re tired. We’ve had multiple policy U turns on everything from PPE to social distancing. We’ve been asked to deliver the undeliverable. But....
We will keep going
We will look after you
We will look after ourselves
There’s no alternative

@CarlRMay I'm trying to get this hacker's account deleted. Alas I can't tell you how to get your hands on $150,000!

🗞️ BREAKING: Prostate cancer has become the most commonly diagnosed cancer across the UK.
While it's great more men are talking to their GPs, we must secure the future of research now at risk from the Covid-19 crisis.

@trishgreenhalgh I find this very convincing, thank you Trisha. Evidence that wearing a mask would help me might be weak, but evidence that it might protect others if I was unwittingly excreting virus makes a clear case for wearing them.

@CambridgeJBS I heard there's a talk on art investing at the Judge tomorrow? Is it open to members of the university?
