"Children's wellbeing sits between health, education, the environment. It straddles govt departments & their needs falls between the cracks." That is why we call for a Cabinet led response to child health. @CamillaKingdon on the unequal impacts of climate change #ShiftTheDial 👇🏼

@mikeythenurse Thinking of you in supporting them into their chosen profession. It sounds as if they will make an important contribution to the health workforce. I hope they find allies and support to complete studies

@SarahFairley7 Thanks Sarah for your professional evidence-based advocacy.

Thanks to everyone who contributed to this thread. Can't reply to every comment individually as I'm finishing a talk on rheumatic heart disease, a 3rd world condition that affects māori and pasifika children in 95% of cases. Best wishes to you all and thanks for the discussion

Radical change is needed. And that means all governments need to commit to better support for the most vulnerable children in our community.

It also has a fairly clear fix. Ensure all our whānau have the resources they need to thrive. This is bread and butter politics at its best. We dont get more basic than making certain that every child has food on the table, a roof over their head, access to good health care

He calls on us all to ‘where you can, please help improve the life chances of all our children’ Definitely concur. #RCPCH23

Australian medical students! 🤗 Just two weeks left before data collection closes. Please tell us how the thing called 'surgery' is being taught (or not), whether that works for you, and what changes you'd like to see! 🙏❤️🙏❤️ #MedEd

@nicholasphilp Heartland Bank is not on the list.

If you don't use a fully owned NZ bank, why? Co-operative Bank Kiwibank Southland Savings Bank Taranaki Savings Bank Unity Bank

@PaulineDawsonNZ @TeWhatuOraSouth @otago So well deserved Pauline. Congratulations

@Phil_Tanner So tough

@taramcallister4 @LeaskMegan A good idea to check. Colleague needed high power antibiotics to get over strep throat

@keraoregan @dairnemorrigan Yes I support that Kera. I'm about 3 weeks out. Tired (but doesn't really qualify as severe fatigue like yours). Bedtime by 9p.m. Thankful yesterday was a public holiday as I spent most of it sleeping. Cough is persistent and clinically chest clear. Rest it out seems key

@dairnemorrigan It sounds like I’ll just have to keep taking as much time off work as possible and keep taking things super easy - which I can do but it’s just not the easiest with finances and living situation etc. I’m privileged to have the flexibility though

Day 11 of Covid and I’m absolutely wiped. Fatigue is next level, and the cough has come back which of course brings the headache too. Anyone have suggestions?

I'm asking those who love the outdoors to post a picture. A picture that YOU took. Just a pic. No description. The goal is to regain peace and harmony without negativity. Please copy the text, put a picture on YOUR page, and let's look at these beautiful pictures. Here’s mine:

@lyndalpn I only saw this one by heading directly to your timeline
