Patient care is so important to us and our members and we love to celebrate those who work to develop a specific piece of work or project that benefits patients. Congratulations to John McLean for his great work in this area as he is awarded the Roy Ellis Patient Benefit Award. On winning the award John said; "I have been a clinical scientist specialising in MRI in Scotland over the last two decades. MR safety is one of the fundamental parts of the role of a clinical scientist and I’ve always felt this was more about enabling people to get scanned safely rather than not performing scans. In that respect I think we’ve shown clinical scientists can add value to imaging departments by supporting radiography and radiology colleagues to improve patient access to MRI." You can meet all this year's winners here ipem.ac.uk/news/prizes-an… Applications and nominations for our 2025 awards open this spring.

This all feels like when you used to get bored of a SimCity save and start randomly moving taxes up and down, and setting things on fire. Except with an actual country.

Why are we not doing more to fight climate change? New study surveys 40k people in 20 countries to understand 1/ what drives support/opposition to important climate policies 2/ how much people know about climate change & 3/ how info can change perceptions scholar.harvard.edu/files/stantche…

Hi @MFTnhs, I received an SMS from an unknown number purporting to be "From Manchester University Foundation Trust". It may be a phishing attack. But there are hints it might be genuine. A thread. #Phishing #SMishing 1/20
