Completely fabulous to catch up with a former student (2007), @dr_matheson, who now has a fantastic career in psycho-oncology research. @BPOSUK #bpos2025

Three @easyJet flights out of @GatwickAirportH and 3 smashed suitcases! Have you asked why your #baggagehandlers are so angry?

I'm unusually saddened by the news of a body being found in the search for Michael Mosley. A man who strived to use science to make people's lives better. Came across as a lovely,warm and kind man. Thoughts with his family, and hopefully they see how well thought of he was. R.I.P

What a fabulous, heartwarming event. The crowd support is phenomenal and the organisation second to none. Great to bump into @drhugodelapena and to receive my medal from @SueHaig7 for the second time! #londonmarathon2024 #LondonMarathon @LondonMarathon

Great article highlighting long term effects of cancer treatment
“We look OK on the outside, but inside our body systems deteriorate faster than the noncancer population”
“Cancer treatments leave permanent physical & psychological reminders”

This is a major issue and so unregulated. Desperate people resort to desperate measures and are ripe for exploitation. Challenging area in practice and a more common issue in the social media era @IrishCancerSoc @TheHPRA

In cancer care, use of alternative medicine is associated with increased death.
In this study, alternative medicine advertisements on social media exploited the hope of cancer patients by unethically sharing testimonials (anecdotes) of past patients who allegedly were cured: ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/article… by @caulfieldtim @marco_zenone @jeremycsnyder @spidermaani @maizie333 @BelislePipon

Had the misfortune to end up @UHSFT emergency dept. after stupidly breaking a finger. I was so impressed by all the ED staff and the orthopaedic reg. who came to see me. Fabulous care in such a busy department. @jennyloumilner
