The number of patients in Scotland waiting for more than 12 hours in A&E is 99 times higher than it was 14 years ago! Unbelievable. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

@suicideresearch Rory didn’t even tip the driver

This was a great way to get back from dinner 😅

Bowel screening uptake boosted with simple change to invitation letter. Adding a 2 week deadline could increase test returns by 2% - meaning an extra 39,000 people participating per screening round, & 23 colorectal cancer deaths avoided. #BowelCancer gla.ac.uk/schools/health…

A driverless taxi back to our hotel in San Francisco (with @suicideresearch & @repoc23). Zero humans involved. All very bladerunner & great fun 😉.

Dr John-Paul Loughrey, RCEM vice president for Scotland, said: "And for those who keep saying Scotland’s performance is the best in the UK – that may well be true – but is being the ‘least worst’ something to be lauding?

In 2011, 784 people waited more than 12 hours in A&E wards. Last year this number was 76,346.

From BBC News Scotland today about the Accident and Emergency Department at Inverclyde Hospital in Glasgow (where my daughter works). "The A/E department has routinely been operating at 400% capacity". I was going to say "unbelievable" but sadly it is not.

@HealthPsyScot Viv has been (and continues to be) an inspirational leader of Health Psychology in Scotland. Her modesty may result in her not getting the recognition she deserves. A brilliant colleague. We are very lucky to have her.

After over twenty years on our committee we bid a very fond farewell to Vivien Swanson at our ASM on Wednesday. As a founding member of DHP-Scotland, her contribution to the committee and to #HealthPsychology nationally has been immense.

@MikeBruceWHM Not changed one bit.

Love these - Niagra Falls 1975 and 48 years later!

@Jane1Ogden Sadly no. ICBM this year might be my last. Off for a hol to India for a month at the end of January. Hope to do more stuff like that.

@repoc23 So looking forwards to whatever is next! Maybe see you at DHP this year? X
