@ChicCaro @EnglandNetball Fran named defender of the series…….but taken off!

Hi @EnglandNetball it may be time for an extraordinary board meeting, unless you’re okay with us coming 5th in Glasgow. #RSAvENG

@JoSAldridge @laurawright25 Not to my knowledge, but I'm happy to be corrected.

Guys, who is our backup C? Is it supposed to be Jess Shaw? Does Emma play C? I have so many questions about the midcourt selection
English
@sadietrent_92 @harryjonesgrey_ I feel she didn't finish the season very strongly, sadly. Perhaps that's influenced the decision? Although as Cardwell is in there and she hasn't played at all...
English
@harryjonesgrey_ Berri can play GA/GS and has done previously

Id assume that this is now the outline of the CWG squad? Scholes/Neil/Rattu seem to be the big omissions given what has been invested in them over the cycle

@appleblossomBe @JuliaCoombs8 @SaulStaniforth Cancelled mine a year or so ago. Complete waste of money for a rubbish, biased service.

On Saturday over 500,000 people marched through London to protest against Israels genocide. BBC London News that day didn't bother reporting it (they did have time to mention new cycle lanes on Shaftsbury Avenue though)
The problem at the BBC isn't a sports presenter

@Edinburgh_CLW @ScotCLWnetwork @PiltonComHealth @healt Lovely picture! Congratulations to two fabulous people! You've both done Edinburgh proud. Really wish I could have been there to help celebrate your win Dawn. Helping keep @CG_CarrGomm and Craigmillar on the map!

@missD_price @BeardedSaint93 @MartinSLewis Not if you have health issues which rely on consistency of sleep pattern.

Today's Twitter Poll: Would you support the UK staying on Summer Time year round? I.e. we wouldn't have turned the clocks back a week or so ago - so it's dark till later in the morning, but light till later in the evening.
What's closest to your view...

@IvanIvanovichC2 @BeardedSaint93 @MartinSLewis Same - it's the changes which are a nightmare. I have to try and stick with a routine for sleep because of migraines so it plays havoc with it.
English
@BeardedSaint93 @MartinSLewis Just pick one and stick to it, I don't care which it is really.

@letsmakeslinks @IanMWelsh What a terrible experience and response. No-one should have that. She had no way of knowing your background or resilience. It's everyone's job to be sensitive and trauma informed in their approach.
English
@IanMWelsh I definitely will. It completely perplexes me that type of interaction. 🤷🏻♀️
I just don’t get it!! I sometimes think I’m missing some secret memo 🫣 because there are far too many behaving in this way unfortunately

A thread… So the other day I went for a personal appointment, nothing major, just a scan. My name was called, as I walked through the waiting room, the NHS person looked at me saying “are you wearing a bra?” Middle of the waiting room, everyone looked at me, v awkward 🫣 1

So well-said @MistryTej - the third sector's role is life changing and vital. @VHSComms @evoc_edinburgh @deependgp @CompassHelena @DrRJSimpson @EwanAitken @SCDC_Org @RoisinHurst1 #wearevital

VHS Chief Executive @MistryTej has commented on the recent cuts being proposed by Edinburgh IJB. What will it take for recognition of the crucial work the third sector are doing to reduce health inequalities? #WEAREVITAL

“What we need is political will.
“We’re looking for an understanding that the third sector is a huge part of the system delivering health & addressing health inequalities.”

@Stewmercer Carey Lunan was saying just this yesterday at the VHS annual conference - along with Prof. Andrea Williamson. A great double act & powerful message which we've heard before but which needs to keep being put out there.

Time to reverse the inverse care law!

Much higher levels of healthcare needs in most deprived practices are not reflected in funding model, and % going to general practice has been falling EXC GPs in deprived areas fear impact poverty having on patients' health heraldscotland.com/news/24668965.… heraldscotland.com/news/24668965.…

Community Link Workers are unsung heroes! Thank you @JCJudson we @CG_CarrGomm and @Edinburgh_CLW couldn't agree more. #VHS24 #wearevital

Missingness- an important cultural shift from DNAing, moving the emphasis from frustration and blame to curiosity and concern. Great quote from @careylunan #VHS24 #wearevital
English
Excellent description of research on Missingness in Healthcare from Professor Andrea Williamson #VHS24 Some wide ranging findings which could have some really positive implications for the vulnerable patients we all support #wearevital
