Rosie & Jim have arrived upon the River Seine representing team GB at the flag ceremony at the #Olympics #Paris2024
Fellow AHPs, has anyone ever arranged a walking group for patients and would be keen to share any learning outcomes with me?

Can you imagine how furious you would be if you developed polio and lived, but had lifelong side effects, and when you turn 12-13 find out that all of this could have been avoided if you had been vaccinated but mom and dad saw a youtube video and their facebook group said not to

It’s extraordinary. Protesters demanding an immediate ceasefire — echoing the call of 71% of the public — are presented as a threat to democracy, but a Prime Minister who ignores the public and erodes their rights says he’s protecting democracy.

10 rules of biscuits:
1. When opening a packet, any broken biscuits must be consumed immediately.
2. Never dunk a biscuit for too long, you will ruin both your biscuit and your tea. Double sadness.
3. Always offer biscuits to guests, even if they claim they're not interested (they're probably fibbing).
4. Don't be the person who snatches the last biscuit of a kind unless you're prepared to face the consequences - i.e. a new enemy.
5. Always offer a hot drink with biscuits, obviously.
6. Bring out a posh selection of biscuits (metal tin, two layers separated by a sheet of springy purple cardboard, usually called a “collection”) for special occasions.
7. Always pretend you haven’t seen a plate of biscuits being passed around until they’re offered to you, then act pleasantly surprised.
8. Utilise the phrases “I really mustn’t”, “ooh, go on then” and “if you’re having one”.
9. Wrap biscuits up when not in use, either by pushing the open packet up against a wall, or by using a jar, tin or box.
10. Always have more biscuits in stock than you think you need. Never run out. Running out of biscuits is like running out of air: not ideal.
There are many more rules, but these 10 provide a good starting point.

Bristol Green Party have issued a statement regarding the protection of Yew Tree Farm

This really is excellent, with clear call-to-actions for Bristol Council, the developers, the agents and the land owners.
Chapeau @bristolgreen!

Balloon releases are one of the worst ways to remember someone who has sadly left us. You wouldn't chuck a load of plastic bags/bottles down the street and balloons are the same. Plant some flowers/trees or something. You can see that every day if you want to.

Where’s that iron clad commitment? Why are you not here? Why are you silent? Why did you give a lease to the person responsible for this damage?

Would like to know which MPs could vote against an immediate ceasefire in Gaza after watching this visualisation of the children killed so far. Feel free to tag your MP. #ceasefirenow

“I’ll expect you to feed me, bathe me, brush my hair, hold my hand, recognise me when I have ceased to recognise myself and be the last human touch I may feel before I die.
But I do not think, at the same time, that you deserve a family life.”

Now there is an incredible woman right there. Jo Bateman is taking @SouthWestWater to court, she's simply "Had enough". 👏👏👏
If I can help in anyway just shout.
'I feel like they need to be held accountable - I've had enough!'
Retired NHS physiotherapist Jo Bateman explains to @DavidParsley50 why she is suing South West Water for sea sewage discharges at her local beach in Exmouth

This is the exactly what my GP trainer taught me:
“For you as the doctor, the consultation starts when the patient walks through the door…
For the patient, it starts from when they think about making an appt, the call with reception, waiting for the date & lastly seeing you”

1. Exactly one year ago 1 posted this tweet which went rapidly viral and gained 7m views within 7 days. I think it is time for a review.
Overall morale within the NHS is, if anything, considerably worse...

Pls share. Many are worried after reports that Etsy, eBay, Vinted etc will start automatically passing sales info to HM Revenue. To set your mind at rest, best to read our full guide at moneysavingexpert.com/news/2…, but in brief
1. There is no new tax
2. Unless you're 'trading' selling your old stuff isn't taxed
3. Only sales over c£1,700 or more than 30 items a year are reported
