“Silence [on Israel] undermines our credibility”.
Well said @LDFPalestine members Jonathan Brown & Brian Austen👇 in today’s international security policy debate at the @LibDemConf.
Extraordinary, embarrassing, short-sighted avoidance of the Middle East crisis.

Johannesburg, South Africa, is where my patient journey of surviving antimicrobial resistance (#AMR) took place.
In November, I had the immense pleasure of joining researchers at @WitsUniversity and @CityStGeorges as part of their community advisory group, contributing to a clinical study called COMBAT Candida.
The study, taking place across several major hospitals in Johannesburg (private and public), focuses on the treatment of Candida bloodstream infections and the growing threat of antifungal resistance.
With the incredible nurses and doctors at Charlotte Maxeke Johannesburg Academic Hospital being the team that saved my life initially at the time of my accident in 2004, it was an immense honour to return, this time as a former patient, contributing to research that matters so deeply to me.

Forgiveness is often overlooked in therapy, despite its mental health benefits. In the latest Thresholds journal, psychotherapist Chris Wake discusses how therapists can mindfully guide clients through forgiveness without pressure.

ALT Thresholds Journal “Therapists interested in using forgiveness may find it helpful to increase their knowledge of the process – and be self-reflective about how their personal perspectives influence whether and how they use it” Chris Wake

Fantastic to see NHS leaders such as @TotterdellJac recognising the need for improved local cycling. Would be great to have similar letter @Merton_Council, as imagine plenty of staff come from this direction too! @CyclingMerton @MartinWhelton @LMaufe @killicktom @MertonLibDems
What a brilliant letter from @StGeorgesTrust CEO asking to work with @wandbc to create a walking and cycling network for Wandsworth
Thank you @TotterdellJac for adding your voice to this effort - it is so valuable 👏

For 'debt' read 'underfunding' and remember that this doesn't begin to scratch the surface. We have had a decade of demand outstripping resources with entirely predictable consequences.
We’re writing off over £13 billion of NHS debt as part of a wider package of NHS reforms.
This will ensure the NHS has the necessary funding and support to respond to #coronavirus.

Those who volunteer for studies will help others in the future

If viral swab tests are around 70% sensitive 95% specific then a patient with fever (pre-test probability estimate 50%) who has a negative test still has a 24% chance of having the virus.
