Here are 5️⃣ questions you can ask your healthcare professional to help #PreventSideEffects: – What is this medicine for? – When and how should I take it? – How should I store it? – Can it interact with my other medicines? – What are the side effects? #MedSafetyWeek

This is powerful. This is courage. This is heartbreaking. Democratic senator @EvaBurchAZ announced on a floor speech that she needs an abortion. She shared her story and gave remarks about how cruel Arizona’s laws are to women. CNN aired a short clip last night, but it’s important for folks to hear all of her remarks. Please take the time & consider sharing.

@PNewlandJones @UKCPADiabetes @ABCDiab @pcdsociety @DHSCgovuk Thank you, this will save us all so much duplicated time.

Very happy to share the updated GLP-1 RA shortage guidance from @ABCDiab and @pcdsociety. Released alongside the updated MSN by @DHSCgovuk today. diabetesonthenet.com/wp-content/upl…

There are lots of so-called facts claimed about HRT - some reliable and some not so. We researched some recent claims made on social media. #menopause #perimenopause #HRT menoclarity.com/known-facts-ab…

To honour the legacy of the late Nina Barnett FRPharmS, the Barnett family seek to create a lasting impact by establishing a £30,000 annual bursary to support pharmacy or medical students facing financial challenges. You can contribute here: bit.ly/49xWOnf

Supporting people to make wise decisions about their health and care. Wouldn’t it be fabulous if an organisation like, let’s say @NHSEngland or @NICEComms did this for most healthcare decisions? 😊

#Gaza: an entire population depends on humanitarian assistance for survival. Very little comes in & restrictions increase. A truck loaded with aid has just been turned back because it had scissors used in children’s medical kits. Medical scissors are now added to a long list of banned items the Israeli Authorities classify as “for dual use”. The list includes basic and lifesaving items: from anesthetics, solar lights, oxygen cylinders and ventilators, to water cleaning tablets, cancer medicines and maternity kits. The clearance of humanitarian supplies + the delivery of basic & critical items need to be facilitated & accelerated. The lives of 2 million people depend on that, there is no time to waste.

“I’m tired Lorraine of having to justify my existence by the worth I bring to this country” @DrAmirKhanGP responds to the immigration and NHS claims made by Nigel Farage in last night’s episode of @imacelebrity #Lorraine #ImACeleb

For those who state “you only care what’s happening now because it’s in the news”. My reply could be silence, as I don’t owe a justification. But my work for the Palestinian people and their rights, freedom, and justice goes back to when I first learnt of the atrocities happening in the West Bank and Gaza. I have researched these atrocities, the history and the brutal fight over land. I lived briefly in Palestine where I was welcomed with open arms. And I have continued to speak out loudly and consistently of these injustices since then, now and I do not intend to stop. I have spoken and worked with Palestinian officials at the @unitednations and beyond. But this is NOT about me. Let me make that clear. It is about allowing people to speak out for truth and justice, when they became aware of it. It is about being getting off their high house and critiquing people for not knowing every single date of every war with the region. If you just learn of this conflict on Oct 7th and are now speaking out loudly, consistently and openly for justice, truth and freedom - then your voice is needed and no less worthy. Don’t let anyone tell you - this issue is too complex. There is nothing complex about watching the slaughter of innocent civilians and knowing it is wrong. Saying it is wrong. There is NOTHING complex calling for the return of innocent Israel hostages. There is NOTHING complex about knowing the difference between bombing schools and hospitals or not. There is NOTHING complex about seeing an entire region of land, 25 miles long, and 3.5-7 miles wide, flattened and levelled by an occupying force. You know what is right, and what is wrong. You don’t need a PhD to speak out for justice, truth and the right to life. So to all the phenomenal people in the world. Using their voice, their platforms, no matter how small, be it an account with a 1 million followers or a family dinner table, keep going. As the wonderful Seamus Heaney once penned concerning the Troubles in Northern Ireland: History says, don’t hope
On this side of the grave.
But then, once in a lifetime
The longed-for tidal wave
Of justice can rise up,
And hope and history rhyme. So hope for a great sea-change
On the far side of revenge.
Believe that further shore
Is reachable from here. Believe in miracle
And cures and healing wells. Call miracle self-healing:
The utter, self-revealing
Double-take of feeling. If there’s fire on the mountain
Or lightning and storm
And a god speaks from the sky That means someone is hearing
The outcry and the birth-cry
of new life at its term.

Every word of this from @BarackObama
