Well said! University promotes debate and academic inquiry. His bullish behaviour is he wants to shut down anybody who disagrees with him but this is debate!

Delayed discharge to ward is the problem in UK due to no ward beds available, not if patient was not originally for ICU care!! @BACCNUK @ICS_updates @niccjournal #nhs #criticalcare

But your tuition fees increase does not cover the NI increase!! With universities making redundancies across the sector might be very few left who can deliver this! ⁦@timeshighered⁩ #education independent.co.uk/news/uk/un…

Universities must deliver ‘best outcomes’ for students after tuition fee rise

The Government will set out its plan for higher education reform by this summer, Education Secretary Bridget Phillipson has said.

As an educator there is nothing more rewarding than when you teach students & they put their teaching into action to help people when they are at their most vulnerable! Well done to Zahra as your actions made a difference! #kmms @CanterburyCCUni @UniKent @BMAstudents
