“Universities are for learning, not credentialing; we should not simply teach for tests. Students are not customers in an academic supermarket.” @UniofOxford Chancellor Lord Patten: ox.ac.uk/news/2023-01-1…

We are excited to be named top in London and 6th in the UK for #Nursing and #Midwifery in the @guardian University League Tables 2022! 🎉🎉🎉

If you can think, and speak, and write, you are absolutely deadly. Writing is thinking formalized. You gain the ability to think by first learning to write very, very carefully. Then, when you can write effectively, you can do anything you want, and no one will stop you.

Following the UK Government’s roadmap for easing lockdown restrictions, we can provide an update on the return of athletics and running here: bit.ly/3sBnb5F

@readinghalf This survey is now closed, have I left it too late?

@ChangJachang Yes, the application is still open for runners who wish to defer to 2021 - though the race will be early April - exact date TBC. Here is the link: surveymonkey.co.uk/r/FMT2ZPW

@readinghalf is it still possible to postpone my half marathkn entry to the March event? And what date is that March event? Thank you.

@readinghalf Thank you. Brighton Marathon is April 18th.... might be quite close 😯

He’s done it! @Therunningdan runs Land’s End to John O’Groats in 9 days, 21 hours, 14 minutes and 2 seconds.

We think it’s time to start paying our NHS staff properly. Please RT if you agree and help raise awareness of the shocking differences below. Hourly wages for nurses by country: 🇸🇪 £23.95 🇳🇴 £18.64 🇮🇹 £14.86 🇦🇺 £14.80 🇩🇪 £12.60 🇬🇧 £11.63 #NHSPay15

📣 parkrun events will continue to be suspended until at least the end of April This is to keep all parkrun countries following the same timeline, but we expect suspensions to go beyond April We will get through this, together ❤️ More 👉🏾parkrun.me/covid19 🌳 #loveparkrun

So, I made a little animation trying to explain how herd immunity works. When enough of the population has been vaccinated, a disease is no longer able to spread effectively, protecting even the unvaccinated. The percentage needed varies with the disease. #VaccinesSaveLives

alternative route into nursing? As a nursing associate you’ll gain generalist experience which you can put towards a shortened nursing degree once you qualify. wearenursingassociates.org.uk   #nursingassociates #wearetheNHS

First tweet for ages, but I wrote about my latest, somewhat mind-bending marathon experience at Manchester this weekend and need to post it somewhere otherwise it won’t have happened - the wall....... themilestonepursuit.com/another-marath…

@sainsburys if I use your home delivery service can I still have Lego cards?

I have to agree: BME is a terrible label to be lumbered with. BME label insulting, says ex-minister Priti Patel - bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politi…

Tomorrow will be busy at YMCA Hawker due to the Thames Meander half marathon and marathon. parkrun is on as normal but we will be sharing our start and finish areas plus the parking. See you on the towpath.

The ability to race is different than the ability to be paced to a fast time. Anyone with ability can hang on and be pulled to fast time the medals are won by those who can race. Those who are race hardened, who understand tactics and are fully adaptable to variety of situations.
