We have raised concerns about existing deficiencies in the Terminally Ill Adults (End of Life) Bill. We believe the bill in its current form lacks adequate protections for patients and professionals. Full statement: ow.ly/EOhP50W692q

THIS just happened.👇   Wishing @RememberMonday_ the very best of luck in the @Eurovision Final in Basel this evening! 🎶 Band of the Irish Guards #Eurovision2025

This is so true. Any bill giving rights to some to seek assistance to end their lives, must not enable the inappropriate loss of life of any vulnerable people in our society. It should only be made law when this safeguard is in place. There is no need to rush.

A snippet of my contribution yesterday on #AssistedDyingBill

We must listen to what the experts are saying. @RCPhysicians joins @rcpsych in sounding the alarm on #AssistedDyingBill. Vulnerable people are at risk of great harm from this Bill.

There are some days in Medicine that make you so proud. Today was of those days in our hospital. Compassion everywhere I looked. I love working at @sashnhs

The votes are in and we’re happy to announce that Dr @Mumtaz_Patel_1 has been elected as the 123rd president of the Royal College of Physicians👏 Learn more about Dr Patel: ow.ly/BU2K50VAmps An official start date will be determined as soon as possible.

Today @KemiBadenoch and I have written on @ConHome about the need to select potential MPs who can not only be local champions but also be effective in running the country as part of a future government: conservativehome.com/2025/04/09/kem… And congratulations to @ClareHambro 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

An excellent lecture by Sir Gareth Southgate. bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episod…

Exactly, Jenni, lots of great collaborative work underway @GeriSoc @RCEMpresident @UKHaHSoc and many others. Great to see scale up work by @GeriSoc members being supported by @NHSScotland @CMO_England @NHSGIRFT @RCPhysicians @RCPEdin

@Jennife10651535 Sure.

@BenMearns May I send you a DM re your father in law?

Absolutely spot on. I’m proud to have such a sensible, thoughtful and constructive MP. This is how the job should be done.

The incredible work of the Frailty Same Day Emergency Care across @sashnhs on @BBCBreakfast this morning! 80% of patients are able to go home the same day they are treated. Catch up to see our Vice President for Education and Training @geriatricsdoc being interviewed

Please stop queuing at the bars in pubs. I know we have a Nobel prize for lining up, but this is un-British.

It was great showing @ChrisHopsonNHS around East Surrey Hospital today showcasing some of the important work our team are doing – including our Same Day Emergency Care unit for our most frail patients and how our digital team is transforming service delivery.

@adamgordon1978 And we need a much better rehabilitation offer.

1/14 🤔 Why do we use iodine as an intravenous contrast agent? The answer requires a review of the composition of the human body and a brief tour of one of my favorites, the Periodic Table of Elements.
