It’s Maternal Mental Health Awareness Week. Please know that you are not alone and that there are people and organisations to help you. #MaternalMentalHealthAwarenessWeek #MaternalMentalHealth

Hello. How are you? Thank you. I love you. Please. Some of the most frequently translated phrases of the past 20 years! Google Translate began twenty years ago with a mission to help people understand one another, regardless of the language they speak. What started as a small experiment has become a global tool that helps over 1 billion users every month. In that time Translate has evolved from simple pattern matching to true understanding. In 2006, it relied on statistical machine learning to look for patterns in small word clusters. By 2016, we pioneered a shift to neural networks to move beyond literal word-for-word translations, and today we’re using our powerful Gemini models to make Translate even more helpful. We are moving from text to fluid, real-time conversations. With our latest models, you can even use your headphones as a personal interpreter that preserves your original tone and cadence - it’s an amazing experience! One of the interesting things about AI is that as we make progress, we begin to take it for granted. If you met a person who could translate across a hundred languages faster than any human can, you would be so impressed. Today, one product does that for nearly 250 languages, and we kind of just shrug. Being able to say thank you in 250 languages is not something I take for granted. So to the 1 billion who use Google Translate - merci, dhanyavaad, arigatō, gracias, and thank you! Let’s see what the next 20 years will bring.

Merry Christmas to all of the emergency services, care workers, social workers, the armed forces and everybody else working and spending Christmas Day away from their families and friends. #Christmas

On Christmas Day, NHS staff will continue to do what they do best, looking after us when we need it most 💙 We don't stop for Christmas. NHS staff will be dispatching ambulances, delivering babies and serving Christmas dinners. A huge thank you to all our staff.

Thank you to all our incredible NHS staff working over the Christmas period 💙 From nurses, doctors and midwives to paramedics, pharmacists and porters, thank you for continuing to care for our loved ones each and every day.

Earlier on Xmas Eve, Genuine vehicle stop, a jolly chap, produced this licence, said he had some thing important on tonight could we hurry up. You can not make this up ! Advice given but the driver certainly gave us a laugh! Merry Christmas from all of us at @gmptraffic

“The recent industrial action has distracted from the fact that large parts of the NHS and social care system more or less shut down for several days over Christmas – and this just stores up trouble for the weeks ahead." RCEM President Dr Ian Higginson speaks ahead of the annual shutdown of parts of the health service due to Christmas. Read more here: rcem.ac.uk/press-release/…

EDs in Wales are under significant strain as new data revealed they experienced the worst November on record for four, eight and 12 hour waits. It's left RCEM's Vice President of Wales asking "when will the record setting end?" Last month, one in seven patients (10,107) waited 12 hours or more to be admitted, discharged, or transferred.

Emma K, Age 6, said it best.

Sky's health correspondent @ashishskynews visited the Royal Berkshire Hospital to speak to doctors about the pressures facing the NHS with strikes and flu. Some 30,000 resident doctors voted against the government's offer to resolve the strike, leading to today's walkout.

‘How is overcrowding affecting your ability to run the Emergency Department today? What is the impact on your staff?’ This was the question we asked lead consultants across all nine all ages EDs in Northern Ireland on the morning of 8 December. These were just some of their answers… Read more, including recommendations to address the overcrowding and corridor care crisis, here: rcem.ac.uk/press-release/…

"So-called ‘corridor care’ can only be stopped in the corridors of power" That's the message we hope MPs will take from the festive greetings cards RCEM has sent every single sitting member in the country. Read more here: rcem.ac.uk/press-release/…

The dire state of corridor care and overcrowding in Northern Ireland’s EDs has been revealed following a new survey of lead consultants. Carried out on the morning of 8 December, across all nine all ages EDs, it revealed staff are dreading coming to work, departments are over capacity with patients being cared for in non-clinical areas, and there’s no resuscitation spaces.
