@Azeem_Majeed I first came here on an Erasmus to Scotland in 2003 @QMUniversity

It’s excellent news that the UK will be rejoining the Erasmus study scheme, which provides funding for students to study at partners universities overseas. The return of the scheme will expand educational opportunities for UK students and promote international collaboration.

No comments allowed on this @pulsetoday article? Not at all biased? Sounds like a promotional piece. 🤯 Hoping assisted dying gets firmly rejected by MPs. This legislation in the U.K. would undoubtedly be abused, & harm some of the most vulnerable. pulsetoday.co.uk/analysis/clini…

@doctor_katie @jkaffash Thanks Katie! Very excited about my new role 😃

A barnstorming editorial from @jkaffash here “A cruel anomaly” indeed Congratulations also to @sofialind_Pulse and Jaimie on their new roles

@doctor_oxford My friend died by suicide during lockdown and I had to watch her funeral on Zoom. In November 2020.

I see Boris Johnson’s new book is full of self-serving justifications of his behaviour during #Partygate. Please read this Guardian letter from 2022 - & never forgive, never forget that man’s reprehensible contempt for the people he governed 💔

Great story from @AnnaColivicchi pulsetoday.co.uk/news/practice-…

'Without this regulated – statutory – scope of practice, it begs the question how any PA can be held to account without their error ultimately being a doctor’s fault.' pulsetoday.co.uk/views/editors-… #physicianassociates #editorial #GMC

As of today, this is how women must dress in Afghanistan, according to the Taliban's Supreme Leader. The following rules are now in effect: The full face must be covered—no hands, nothing visible. The black veil was presented as a "recommendation" a year ago, now it is the law.

@caitlintilley @HSJnews Congratulations, Caitlin! Welcome back to the beat 😊

I’d like to talk about my Dad. He came to England from India at age 17. He had a brutal childhood- he’s refused to talk us kids about it but part of his childhood involved living on the streets as a child in India Coming to England saved his life. Literally. He has worked - shop keeper, then taxi driver & has contributed to tax his whole life here. He refused to charge people for his taxi service when they visited hospitals, students who felt unsafe walking at night etc. He worked 7 days a week, and we lived month to month. My Mum, at the age of 64, still works full time as an insurance broker & has also paid tax her entire working life. My Dad retired at the age of 70 during the pandemic as he was diagnosed with cancer. Thankfully he’s currently in remission 🙏 As soon as he was given the “all clear” he could finally pursue his dream - to feed those in need. At the age of 70 he asked my Mum to teach him how to cook. Every Tuesday he buys food to feed about 100/200 homeless people a week. He wakes up at 3am every Wednesday to cook the food, package & distribute it with a team of volunteers who also provide them warm clothing, cut their hair etc with nothing but love. The volunteers are from all backgrounds, all colours, all ethnicities as are the people they serve. He is the kindest, most compassionate person I know. To have people judge him based on the colour of his skin breaks my heart beyond measure.

Can't say this enough; Elon Musk's menace to democracy is intolerable. He's using the largest & most influential platform in the democratic world to stoke racial conflict and civil breakdown - in his own posts & what X promotes. Democracies can no longer ignore this.

A shout of profound support & virtual hugs to every GP GPN PM & practice staff members… Who may be feeling unsafe in their home, workplace, town, community & country at this foul and febrile time due to the actions of moronic animals, and the scum goading them. 🫂😞🕊️ @BMA_GP

I’m proud that people from nearly 200 countries work in our NHS. I completely condemn this racist violence and stand with our staff and the communities they live and work in. Thank you to our emergency services who are working hard to keep everyone safe.

Peace be upon us all towards each other and from the 70,000 angels that watch over everyone who tends to the sick. Proud and blessed to be a British Muslim and a GP. We will not be divided. Love our NHS❤️
