Have you had genetic testing because of cancer, a personal history of cancer, or a family history of cancer? @SEgenomics would particularly like to hear about your experience receiving your genetic test results.

@British_Airways Hi. I appreciate it’s not BAs fault about flights but it’s a nightmare! We’ve booked a hotel through the BA portal. Will you reimburse taxis to and from the hotels you had on there? If not, how do we get there and back when this is unexpected expense? Thanks.
@British_Airways Also, our replacement flight (now two flights) is in two days time. We have accepted but might an earlier flight become available?
Today, @alzheimerssoc launched a vital campaign with @mailmetromedia and @dailymail to beat dementia.
Together, we are taking on the UK’s biggest killer.
It will take a society to beat dementia.

@Se_Railway Please could I send my thanks to Matt, who was the conductor on the 22.42 from Victoria to Gillingham. I will forever be grateful to him! I was in, I believe, an empty carriage when a man stood behind me for a few stops. There was probably nothing wrong, but I felt…
#Safeguarding is a proactive & preventative approach that goes far beyond merely responding after an incident has occurred. It encompasses creating a culture & environment where the safety & well-being of all individuals, especially vulnerable populations, are the primary focus.
'Safeguarding isn't just about responding when something goes wrong. It's about what we do before harm happens, the culture we create, the courage we show, and the conversations we're willing to have when something doesn’t feel right.'
As we mark #SafeguardingAdultsWeek 2025, the theme of Prevention: Act Before Abuse reminds us that safeguarding starts long before a crisis.
It begins with awareness, empathy, and a shared responsibility to speak up early, not after the damage is done.
Olatomide, from our EDIB team, reflects on how prevention also means building inclusive and resilient cultures, where people feel safe to raise concerns, challenge behaviour, and have the brave conversations that protect dignity and belonging.

@Orange_France Bonjour. Pouvez-vous m'aider ? Mon beau-frère est décédé il y a plus de deux ans, mais sa femme ne peut toujours pas résilier sa facture mensuelle de téléphone portable. Le téléphone est hors contrat, donc l'appareil est payé, mais le personnel de la boutique…
I’m so proud to be supporting @alzheimerssoc #ForgetMeNotAppeal to help raise money and awareness to end the devastation of dementia. I wear my badge for my grandparents and brother-in-law.

Bowel cancer is the fourth most common cancer in the UK.
Here are the main symptoms. Other health problems can cause similar symptoms – but it’s important to get them checked by a GP if you have any symptoms for 3 weeks or more.
#BowelCancerAwarenessMonth

The text reads; Bowel cancer symptoms are "Blood in your poo, which may look red or black; changes in your poo, such as having diarrhoea or constipation; needing to poo more or less often; often feeling like you need to poo; bleeding from your bottom; feeling tired for no reason; losing weight without trying; tummy pain or bloating. Contact your GP practice if you have any of these symptoms for 3 weeks or more.
