Time for Wales to wake up

Wales, @reformparty_uk have shown you their true colours. They would defund Bangor University and drain the life out of our community to score a political point back at Westminster. Shame on you @Nigel_Farage @ZiaYusufUK @SuellaBraverman @LeeAndersonMP_ @TiceRichard

I repeat. If you are vocal about nurses being replaced by lesser qualified staff- and don't bring the same energy when doctors are being replaced by lesser qualified staff? You lack consistency That could be due to hubris. It could be due to professional jealousy It could be due to politics Either way? You either believe in qualified people doing the designated roles Or you don't. Thanks for coming to my (1st) TED talk of 2026.

In 1952, inside a New York City delivery room, a baby was born blue and silent. Doctors hesitated, unsure whether to keep trying. Then a calm voice broke through the panic. “Let’s score the baby,” said Dr. Virginia Apgar. That moment changed medicine forever. Apgar had once dreamed of being a surgeon, but in the 1940s few women were allowed into the operating room. Told that no hospital would hire her, she turned to anesthesiology instead — a decision that would save millions of lives. Working in Columbia-Presbyterian’s maternity ward, she saw newborns die within minutes of birth because doctors had no system to judge which babies needed help first. So one morning in 1952, she grabbed a pen and paper and designed a five-point test measuring heart rate, breathing, muscle tone, reflex response, and skin color. She called it the Apgar Score. The idea spread faster than anyone expected. Within a decade, almost every hospital in America was using it. Infant mortality fell sharply. Doctors finally had a language for newborn care — and babies once thought lost were suddenly being saved. Apgar never stopped pushing forward. She earned a public health degree, joined the March of Dimes, and became a global voice for mothers and infants. When asked how she had thrived in a man’s world, she laughed, “Women are like tea bags — they don’t know how strong they are until they’re in hot water.” Dr. Virginia Apgar passed away in 1974, but her test still guides every delivery room on Earth. Every two seconds, somewhere in the world, a baby takes its first breath — and someone quietly calls out a number that honors the woman who refused to give up on newborns or on herself.

I’d like to see a Wales where everyone can afford to heat their own home rather than sticking plasters like warm hubs, already locking out so many who aren’t able to get to them

@JamesEFoster @zarahsultana It’s really such a shame. Try harder. So much hinges on this.

After last week: there should have been a joint video (and statement) released at the same time. It just looks exactly what @ZarahSultana said: that she was being “sidelined”. Now, once again, there’s endless questions. Sheer incompetence.

Two disgusting events.

The Welsh NHS structure is immensely convoluted. This makes driving system wide change challenging. Let me explain just how complex the NHS in a country of 3m is... [Thread]

@RuthWalker_ I am so sad to hear of Ruth’s death. Ruth was especially kind to me when I came to Cardiff. She took time to meet with me and supported me as we worked through our shared challenges. She was a very special person and a true leader. A powerful advocate for nursing and midwifery.

Dear all, Please join me in wishing the wonderful @riotgrandma72 the very happiest of birthdays!

@Keir_Starmer England only?

Our new Neighbourhood Health Centres will benefit every community across the country. Better GP access. No more 8am scramble. More dental care for your children. Better care on your doorstep. Everyone you need to see under one roof. Closer to home, open on evenings and weekends.

My era. Changing times then. For the best for women and their families. A very special woman.

A truly amazing woman. Thank you for everything that you have done for women everywhere. RIP. theguardian.com/society/2025/j…
