Absolutely horrified to hear this. I worked in the School of Nursing as an Associate Lecturer. ALL the staff are amazing and dedicated to training future nurses. How is Wales going to train the next generation if this goes?? its a shocking decision Sign the Petition

Important information on GLP agonists (#Ozempic etc) and surgery. Slowing of stomach action may mean there is still food in the stomach six hours after a meal. Glad to see there are still very few reports of aspiration. Stopping the drug probably not the answer either. www.gov.uk/drug-safety-...

Dear @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social You said that part of the reason you couldn’t vote for the AD bill was the lack of adequate palliative care in the UK. You are the health secretary. Will you now pledge publicly & immediately to fix that? Or are dying people not enough of a priority?

My direct appeal to @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social & Keir_Starmer in the light of yesterday's vote on AD. If they sincerely care about dying people, surely now they will publicly & urgently commit to properly funding our threadbare, neglected palliative care? www.theguardian.com/society/2024...

Making dying easier is not the solution when NHS, social and palliative care are simply not there for patients

While we’re talking about end of life care, I found this quite difficult as a junior doctor. I evolved a series of strategies for how to cope in this situation. Some of those tips are written down in a blog from a few yrs ago. Link ⬇️⬇️ #EOLC sharingandlearningonline.wordpress.com/end-of-life-...

A word on the Allison Pearson free speech row, and what she describes as a ‘Kafkaesque’ threat to it. We asked her on @thenewsagents.bsky.social to discuss. She said: ‘No. And if you get any aspect of the story wrong my lawyers will be watching.’ Gotta love a free speech warrior 🤷🏻‍♂️
