And the Abortion Services (Safe Access Zones) Scotland Act is now in force across the country, bringing to an end the harrasement of patients and staff.
A huge thank you once again to everyone who has campaigned for this or shared your story, we wouldn't be here without you.

My girlfriend knows I'm a SciFi fan and she recently discussed dressing up, suggesting, obviously, the Princess Leia slave outfit. Now, I'm not unreceptive, but I'd rather she wore Colin Baker's multi-coloured sixth Doctor's coat—though I'm not sure if I should tell her.

This 17th-century panel from our archive, laden with metal threads, is stupendous. It glimmers in the light, aided by gold spangles sewn onto its silk ground. When it comes to this panel, all that glitters IS gold! ✨

An excellent interview by @nazirafzal in respect of the #NMC review. There is a huge question mark re the performance of so many regulators which has a devastating impact on lives. The Govt needs to take a hard look at regulators and take urgent action,

I hear people criticise the NHS a lot but I’m currently having health issues and everyone I’ve dealt with from GP to hospital has been so helpful and kind.

Please consider signing this open letter expressing your dismay at the leniency of the MPTS’s sanction on NHS surgeon James Gilbert who, for over a decade, sexually harassed female trainees.
The letter is from the 4 brave women who testified. (1/4)

This piece and a few others really similar to it are interesting because they combine very English elements with very Italian ones. The combo seems to be more than just an English person influenced by Italian pattern books. Many questions here about where it was made and by who

In the 19th century Thomas Stevens developed woven silk pictures known as ‘Stevengraphs’. They were made in England and sold as souvenirs. This one, probably from the 1890s, shows Scotland’s Forth Bridge.

When I went to Glasgow last week @rpzquinton kindly showed me a very poignant object in @GlasgowMuseums’ collection which I can’t stop thinking about. It’s a tiny pocket embroidered in hair by Margaret Deas in Glasgow’s Duke Street Prison in 1851. She embroidered “forGet Me not”

Keep seeing posts about immigrants who are surgeons or highly qualified consultants in our NHS etc, & how great they are.
Of course they are & I know these are well intentioned.
But immigrants shouldn’t need to be brain surgeons to be a valued and treated with basic humanity.

Sadly, some staff are reporting an increase in racial abuse and hostility from a small minority of our patients. We're taking action to help make sure they are safe in the line of duty 🔽

ALT Graphic reads: 'Abuse is not part of the job. If a call handler is racially abused, they can end the call. If our crews are racially abused by patients, they can leave the scene (unless it's a life-threatening emergency).
