1/17 Important thread 🧵 on the unnecessary complexity of pensions taxation and why it's unreasonable to expect individuals to "estimate" liabilities when administrators struggle. Please read to the end. #NHSPension #PensionTax

This National No Smoking Day, let's encourage our patients to quit smoking for good. Smoking is the leading cause of lung cancer, responsible for about 85% of cases. 10% of people survive lung cancer for more than 10 years: Let's break that cycle together. youtube.com/@cancer_east

1/ Oh dear @drlukeevans In Feb👇 you were told 70,000 RPSS issued with remaining 60,000 "majority should be issued by end of Feb 25" That position was itself a *complete disgrace* - all *should* have been issued by the statutory deadline October 2024. So today's update...
NEW: Appalling performance from @NHSBSA 👇 60,000 NHS RPSS statements still outstanding. NHSBSA said they were meant to start coming out in April 2024, the *statutory* deadline was Oct 2024 Thank you again @drlukeevans for highlighting the mess around pensions admin and AA tax

Something free and genuinely useful you could do this World Mental Health Day is to share this information. You never know who might desperately need to see it. #NoMindLeftBehind @MindCharity

Well done to ward 3 at Queens Hospital Burton on receiving an EOLC Achievement award, for going above and beyond for a dying patient. Complex arrangements were made for the patient to meet some of their final wishes and give their family some beautiful memories. Great work!
