@shutcake @WYpartnership @SheffChildrens @NHS_RobW @AmandaPritchard @profchrisham @Davewwest @katejosephs @SYhealthcare @TracyBrabin @alison_4life So sorry to hear that Fatima. Sending love as you navigate this time. X

Sadly my father passed away a few days ago. Although he had been ill for a while, his death was still unexpected and a shock. I will be taking some time to be with my family and will offline for a while. Hug your loved ones, life is short

@shitscaredmum @BrainTumourOrg Neil & Angela were who we spoke to over 20 years ago when my brothers childhood tumour returned in his early 20’s- & Samantha’s fund who we raised funds for at his funeral. They have achieved so much and made an incredible difference to the lives of many. Happy retirement.x

Imagine losing your 16 yr old daughter to a brain tumour, only to find no research happening & no support - Neil & Angela Dickson found themselves in exactly this position - @BrainTumourOrg came from their tenacity & determination to make a difference. Enjoy ‘retirement’ Neil!

The universalism of 'anyone can suffer from antimicrobial resistance' never seems to translate to lots of people are suffering from antibiotic resistance. When you're treated with nitrofurantoin instead of trimethoprim for a urinary tract infection, that's because of AMR.

Our local young people helped us voice a series of animations to help bring our #LetsConnect campaign to life. It provides insight for parents and carers in how to support their young person and provide peer support using their own ideas and tips. Watch to find out more.

Fantastic 1st presentation from @ceriphi - & great to summarise with a celebration of progress despite significant challenges 👏👏
