@NickyProctor @SkyNews @skysarahjane @RoryStewartUK @campbellclaret @RestIsPolitics The aims in the paper are very good. I'm not able to take up a more active campaigning role but very happy to support any efforts that improve understanding of Long COVID /ME CFS. Hope the campaign goes well.

@mrsromaine @VirtueOfNothing This is to benefit people buying uniforms. It is from a supply chain catalogue. Not sure it has much to say beyond what's available.

@VirtueOfNothing Who is this supposed to benefit? Patients? How do they expect me to remember what all the subtly different shades of blue mean. Surely just introduce oneself as ‘physio’ ‘nurse’ ‘matron’ … 🫣

#oneteam Yet one group of NHS workers seems to be missing. Can’t quite put my finger on it.

If not... It's ACOS not a useful term to alert patients and acute medics to a co-existence of diagnoses and therefore a different treatment approach? I work hard to determine co-existence but lack the language to covey easily to patients and colleagues...

@russell_doc interesting discussion on @thelimbicresp CPD summary regarding ACOS. Interested to know how you would code such a patient? Database research relies on such. Is there an "eosinophilic reversible airways disease with persistent obstruction on treatment" code? 1/2

In 1972, the Amsterdam neighbourhood of De Pijp saw clashes between parents who wanted safer streets for kids and drivers who wanted to cut through. I went to visit yesterday, 51 years later. The traffic filters and playgrounds remain. It is a place many people want to live. 🧵

I just don’t understand why they wouldn’t wait for @seppkuss - I’ve watched Sepp ride for them countless times while commentating these past years, I’m a huge fan of his. He’s class. I didn’t enjoy watching that today, and I love bike racing, it made me feel 😞😡 #notclass

E-cigarettes, varenicline and cytisine are the most effective stop-smoking aids, analysis of over 150,000 smokers reveals. #ERScongress #ERS2023 cochrane.org/news/e-cigaret… @CochraneLibrary @CochraneTAG /n

An incredibly important piece of work again from @CochraneTAG. ☑️ supports uk approach to vaping as a treatment ☑️ highlights the urgency with which we need cytisine available in the UK ☑️ highlights why we need varenicline back ☑️ why all clinicians must prescribe medications

🎉Excited this work is finally published. Grateful to wonderful colleagues! Breathing pattern disorder in asthma and chronic rhinosinusitis is far more complex than nasal obstruction alone👃Lots more at play 👀. @nose_sinus @HeleneBellas @TheACPRC @uclh pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/37668326/

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam." This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor. The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today. Better choices instead of excuses.
