I tweet quite a bit - but this one is different and perhaps the most important I’ve ever written I hope it gets shared as much as possible, so new parents don't make the same mistake I nearly made (even as a dad of five, having worked in A&E for 23 years and someone who teaches about not missing a diagnosis because of cognitive biases). Our 6 week old baby is getting discharged today from @TheAlexBrighton @UHSussex after receiving the best possible care for meningitis. She is doing really well and as a family we can't begin to express our gratitude to all involved. The day she came in, she was not herself but nothing which particularly worried us. But my wife did her temperature, and it was over 38C. As she was under 3 months, it meant she needed to be seen in A&E ASAP. By the time we got to A&E she was really quite sick even though it was only 30mins after taking her temperature. I initially dismissed her signs and initially even questioned why my wife did her temperature. I had a cognitive bias, twisting my thinking to believing she was ok because that is what I wanted her to be, when she wasn't- a positivity bias. Please if you are worried about your new baby - be like my wife and not me, check their temperature, use your gut instinct and don't delay getting the help your baby needs. @M_R_F

Completely support this @Donnasoutham2 it's disgraceful that this happens to teenage girls
Please can we have your support @GillianKeegan and @VictoriaAtkins on schools allowing girls to use the toilets freely when they are on their periods. Many schools have implemented toilet passes and some schools have declined toilet passes when girls are in their period.

Email from my boys’ school about World Book Day. Because of the cost of living “instead of coming to school in costume, we are having a ‘Get Comfy and Read’ day”. Home clothes and something comfy. I love it! The MONEY the parents will save and the WASTE that will be avoided

This week we laid out a memorial to the more than 11,500 Palestinian children and 36 Israeli children who’ve been killed since October 7th. It was a line 5km long of children’s clothes. Huge thanks to the volunteers who came to Bournemouth and made this happen #CeasefireNow
