For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

I’ve just written to my MP @RosieDuffield1 as this news is so disappointing.
Only 6 months ago @borisjohnson said Neonatal Leave and Pay would be introduced ‘one way or another’. Today it’s missing from the #QueensSpeech. We think this is unacceptable. Help us hold the government to their promises by writing to your MP: buff.ly/3youQdp

Witnessed heroics from a member of @TfL staff as I was passing through King’s Cross St Pancras this morning. Looked like he saw a passenger struggling and sprinted onto the escalator to prevent them from falling! #notallsuperheroeswearcapes

The first photo I saw of you. 10 hours until I could meet you, 2 weeks until I could hold you, 84 days until we could bring you home. Forever grateful to the neonatal team @EKHUFT for their expert care. 💜 #MyNeonatalStory #WorldPrematurityDay @Blisscharity

Bronchiolitis is everywhere. Most of us find it pretty easy to identify infants with severe bronchiolitis. What's harder is working out which infants with bronchiolitis are safe to send home, and which need to stay. Here are my 5 top tips on managing bronchiolitis well: 🧵👇

It’s time for @NHSEngland and @sajidjavid to introduce a National Neonatal Roadmap for parents with a premature or sick baby. Our new #LockedOut report shows nearly half of the units we spoke to didn't let parents see their baby together. These restrictions are far from over.
