Oh dear. 7:27 and I’m already shouting @BBCRadio4 there are very few “forever drugs” most people in their later years need a medication review to reassess the risks/benefits of medicines taken for “prevention”. As we age, our physiological reserves to metabolise meds changes.

This is good news. Well done to all involved and fingers crossed it leads to wider recognition and better treatment for the many women and girls who are suffering with it. theguardian.com/society/ng-int…

@wendyburn 👍🏻 I’ll get on with it! Thanks Wendy. Much appreciated.

@clarehm123 I don’t think we know but bearing in mind that Alzheimer’s disease begins many years before there are symptoms it seems best for me to get on with it. NHS is working towards giving it at 60.

Just had my shingles vaccination, had to pay as not eligible on the NHS. Told the vaccinator I was doing it to reduce the risk of Alzheimer’s disease and she said her last customer was a neuroscientist there for the same reason. 💉

@doctorxisme Brilliant! 👏👏👏👏👏

I couldn't hold it in😂😂😂😂

@ShaunLintern Ahh lovely.

Newly diagnosed with #MND I asked mum what she wanted to do. She said she really wanted to see where I worked. So a year ago today she was treated like a VIP at The Sunday Times and then we had 2 days in London seeing the sights. Laughing and talking. So glad we did that.

@mgtmccartney Oh that’s awful. 😞

about 5yrs ago was driving in a car, on the opposite side or a road a mother duck was leading her little tribe of ducklings across and a car ran through them all. I still regularly feel very sad about this

@mancunianmedic Oh David - take a bow 👏👏👏 Outstanding sir!!!

@MichaelRosenYes @DigitalPhamcist I’m so sorry you have to endure this madness. As if your loss wasn’t awful enough. What is wrong with people?

Today on X. I tweeted about my son's death from meningococcal sepsis caused by Men C, and people are tweeting at me about how bad vaccines are. One problem: Eddie hadn't had the vaccine that might have prevented him from dying ie the Men C vaccine.

No - the UK has not legalised “abortion up to birth". We will not let misinformation go unchallenged. An important mythbuster from us 🧵👇

Today is the 33rd anniversary of the day the IRA bombed Warrington town centre and killed my son Tim and 3 yr old Johnathan Ball. Words can never describe how losing a child leaves a huge hole in your heart and your family. Eternal love Tim ❤️❤️

@lucypgeridoc Oh how lovely. I get it- I’ve always wanted a cherry blossom tree so a few years ago I planted this. It doesn’t really get enough sun, it’s in the wrong part of the garden but it’s pushing thru and each spring it gives me such joy to see it blossom.🌸 😊

Small things to make the heart sing. I love this little fern. I’ve had it since I was a medical student (pre 1990!) It gets almost no attention and its tiny shoots appear about now every year. 🌱

@danny__kruger Oh give it a rest.

Nick Timothy and Nigel Farage are right, and Sadiq Khan and Keir Starmer are wrong. Small groups of people, of whatever religion, praying in public places is fine. And as a Christian country we should allow a special privilege for churches to lead services in our national spaces, like the Palm Sunday celebration that happens in Trafalgar Square. What we don't want is mass ritual observances intended to claim the civic realm for another religion, or assert the domination of another culture over our own Christian traditions. What happens in our national spaces is not neutral. People use Trafalgar Square, for celebrations and demonstrations, to make a point about the kind of country they want us to be. The Palm Sunday pageant reminds us of who we are - not as individuals (many or most of us don't identify as Christians at all) but as a national community, with the roots of our institutions in the ground of the Bible and our most solemn communal moments, from coronations to funerals, mediated through the liturgies of the Church. A mass Adhan held there, or in any town square, is making a different point: that Britain is not a Christian country, and that - inshallah - one day it shall be Muslim. This is unacceptable to the British public and indeed incompatible with our constitution. As ever with these debates, the issue is partly one of kind and partly one of degree. There is an issue with Islam itself as a religion which in most interpretations does not admit of pluralism or freedom of conscience, and therefore is inherently aggrandising, including over territory. But with a bit of confidence and a bit of toleration we could handle that - if it were not for the issue of degree. It is the scale of Islam in Britain, and the ambition of its leaders for greater scale, that makes the problem. The numbers of people who assembled for the adhan in Trafalgar Square, clearly and openly claiming the territory for a faith with no connection (indeed, with strong doctrinal disagreement) with the model of Western liberal democracy that Britain has developed and exported to the world - that is the problem. The numbers, whether everyone there understood it this way or not (and I suspect many did), convey an explicit threat to the foundations of our country. Being relaxed about other people's religion is a good thing, a very British thing. I don't mind modern druids dancing around Stonehenge in my constituency (arguably, though the historicity is tenuous, they have a claim to the place). I don't mind small groups of Hindus or Buddhists or Muslims demonstrating the reality of Britain's religious toleration by worshiping in Trafalgar Square. But let's not kid ourselves about this adhan, or pretend that we're just seeing another harmless expression of Britain's religious diversity. We are seeing an abuse of liberalism, led by people who are not themselves liberal; or - let us imagine they are acting in good faith - who are themselves deceived about what they are doing. It should not happen again. And it would be good to hear the Church of England say so.

@DrSdeG @LucyGoBag Thanks. Keep up the good work. It’s appreciated.

I just want to say that I talk about work and how hard it is sometimes. I am one person in a team, and it’s my job and I still love being a dr. I don’t talk about it because I think I am special or deserve sympathy, but because it is a voice for people who can’t, and to explain what it is like to work in a system that often works against what is good for patients and staff. And to try to hold politicians and those at tops of organisations to account.

Important finding. Beware SGLT2i in thin people with HF. Not only do ‘benefits not translate’ , looks like active harm #DoNoHarm

@GoodNewsWigan How funny. We stood outside Smiths bookshop to see the Queen in Wigan. Got a great view of her as she drove past.

Happy Mother's Day.. Throwback to my angry mum when the Queen came to Wigan in 1977 🤣 #mothersday #MothersDayUK #wigan #history
