"How is it possible that they have this stuff in it, which is bad for nutrition and causes obesity, and yet there is no government guidance. What is going on?"
＠charlottehawkns and ＠robbierinder speak with award-winning nutritionist Charlotte Stirling-Reid and consultant paediatrician Dr Ronny Cheung about baby food manufacturers being told to cut the salt and sugar in their products to tackle the UK's high childhood obesity rates after nutritionists found that more than two-thirds of children aged 18 months to three years are consuming too much sugar.

The recent criticism of the Cass Review, misrepresented as "Yale critique," is not a genuine scientific effort but an attempt to influence U.S. litigation in youth gender medicine, new BMJ peer-reviewed paper by leading UK medical professionals finds. /1

We are pleased to see our evidence reflected in the #Darzi Review and welcome the long overdue focus on children's health and the workforce.
We now call for swift action to address the specific challenges identified in the review. Read our response: rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/news…
ALT Infographic with blue background and white text that reads: "The findings of the Darzi Review confirm the concerns our members have been raising for years - our child health services are in crisis. Despite the best efforts of the child health workforce, chronic underinvestment and a lack of focus on children in health policy, has resulted in children in the UK having some of the worst health outcomes in Europe". The quote is signed by Dr Ronny Cheung, Officer for Health Services.
Children have been left behind, and are sicker than ever before. While adult waiting lists come down, children languish.
#Darzi points out the problem, but we have solutions at @RCPCHtweets - read our Blueprint to transform CYP services rcpch.ac.uk/resources/transf….

Conservative MP and ex-minister Dr Dan Poulter defects to Labour, telling BBC he could no longer look NHS colleagues, patients and constituents "in the eye" bbc.in/3JF2LD2
Still slightly bemused to be invited to ramble on about my pet subjects at my favourite conference #RCPCH24, to an audience of colleagues and friends: about how we apply evidence, lifelong learning and art of practicing medicine. I can't wait... Now I just have to write it....

The benefits of investing in child health are well established, yet the physical and mental health of children is in decline.
In our new Editor's Choice, @KamranAbbasi looks at how this comes from wilful neglect and short term policy making

Delighted that the #UNCRCScotland Bill received royal assent on 16 January after being voted for unanimously in @scotparl in December. Implementing the Bill into Scots law is a huge milestone to safeguarding children and young people's rights.

We welcome Labour's announcement on the Child Health Action Plan. We are clear that investing in a healthy and happy childhood for all has never been more important. This plan would be a useful starting point.

ALT At present the UK has some of the worst child health outcomes in Europe, and child health inequalities continue to widen. It is therefore welcome to see the Labour party’s intention to publish a dedicated Child Health Action Plan, which outlines many of the calls paediatricians have been making repeatedly – including tackling paediatric waiting times, supporting the health prevention agenda and providing support for child mental health.
Ronny Cheung retweeted
It’s wholly unacceptable to have so many children waiting over a year for treatment. These plans are welcome, but we need action now to ensure children do not continue to miss out on important aspects of childhood.
