After great success in the UK final,Dunbotics have been invited to the World FLL Robotics Final in Massachusetts, USA!
It is a huge achievement being one of a few state schools competing against the top teams in the UK, now heading to the world stage! crowdfunder.co.uk/p/dunbotic…
This is absolutely appalling! How many lives ruined being told they had failed, yet they passed? All those that failed being made to resit! Time doesn’t stand still! They may no longer practice! #NHS #bma #traineedoctors #medicine

Wow! Think she needed to be removed from the court at this point! Disgusting behaviour from a pro tennis player! Using a child to vent frustration will never be ok! #DoBetter
Ugly moment in the Putintseva vs Paolini match at the US Open.
The ball girl tries tossing the ball and Yulia watches it bounce on the ground without moving.
So many ball kids look up to these athletes. Let's try to treat them kinder.

I collapsed, and my heart stopped. Waited two hours on an ambulance. As I was out of the area, I was sent home to see my own GP. When I did see him a week later,I was in heart failure. Transferred to hospital to get emergency open heart surgery, I had a heart attack in the way.
Such a tragedy for everyone involved. 🥲

This is Jamie.
He won’t be able to watch Scotland play this summer.
That dream was snatched away when he died in 2013.
He was only 13 years old.
Each week, 12 young people are lost to sudden cardiac death in the UK. We’re funding lifesaving research to help stop this tragic reality.

Every week 12 young lives are lost to sudden cardiac arrest in the UK. Many are preventable. Let's urge party leaders to include a National Strategy for the Prevention of Young Sudden Cardiac Death in their manifestos. Sign here: c-r-y.org.uk/election2024 #PreventYSCD #12AWeek
Thoughts are with the family and friends of Michael Mosley. He made a difference & will be missed greatly! 💔 #thoughtsarewith

Cardiac screening for young people is cost-effective and can save lives – conditions can be treated, securing a future for those identified. All young people should have the choice to be tested. CRY offers screening for 14-35 year olds across the UK via testmyheart.org.uk

The British Society for Heart Failure (BSH) is calling on all political parties to:
• Adopt, UK-wide, the 25in25 initiative, supported by 60+ healthcare organisations, which aims to reduce deaths due to heart failure by 25% in the first year of diagnosis within the next 25 years, saving 10,000 lives every year
• Prioritise patient care by supporting clinicians across specialities and healthcare systems to work together to prevent avoidable heart failure deaths, making every contact count
• Fund recruitment and retention of more heart failure specialist clinicians
• Prioritise the heart failure training, education and upskilling of clinicians delivering HF care across specialities and healthcare landscapes, supported by the British Society for Heart Failure, to expedite diagnosis through better symptom recognition, earlier testing and collaboration
• Direct funding into systematic case-finding of undetected heart failure through the 25in25 implementation programme which will lead to optimisation and equality of care for all those in communities who need it.
