You only have to look at the current state of our health service, to realise that modern medicine, so good at treating acute illness but without as much attention on prevention and long-term illness, is failing our patients. There is an inextricable rise in demand for medical care which is unsustainable. Unless things change, this situation will only get worse. And more and more patients will suffer. As an A&E Dr, in many ways, I provide a sticky plaster to societal problems. We need to move our mindset from treatment to prevention of illness. Only lifestyle changes can truly reduce demand and in the medium to long term preserve a healthy service for all and not just those lucky enough to afford private care. Doing regular exercise is the single most important thing that anyone can do for their health and thus reduce demand on health care systems. Two new studies have shown that even small amounts of exercise both for adults and kids can make a massive difference to both physical and mental wellbeing. In this week’s mail health article, these scientific papers are reviewed and the importance of exercise examined. In summary, get out there, walk or jog; even small amounts are so good for you - you don’t have to do a 10K or a marathon. But if you want that as a goal, as the medical director of the @BrightonMarathn I can thoroughly recommend our races!

'[The past] is repeating itself. It's hard to believe it's 2022.' @RobbieRinder is at Przemysl station in Poland, meeting refugees fleeing the war. He poignantly tells @susannareid100 and @richardm56 about what the situation is like where he is.

I just heard a shocking statistic on @BBCNews - 1.3 million children have fled Ukraine in the last 2 weeks. That’s more than double the total number of children in the whole of Wales. All our children. Twice over. I have no words. 😢

*MISSING PERSON APPEAL* It only takes 3.2 seconds to RT this, and help locate Sue Gray, 63, of London, last seen on the 18th February 2022.

If everyone who has ever been grateful for a doctor followed and retweeted we would reach a million in minutes and be able to show all NHS staff the support they continue to need. It will take just a few seconds of your life but could make such a difference.
