🎉 Congratulations to FMLM Senior Fellow Professor Ramani Moonesinghe OBE on her appointment as Deputy National Medical Director at NHS England. A respected clinical leader and advocate for improving patient outcomes, we wish her every success in this important role. 👏

There's not a linear relationship between medical symptom severity & experience of psychological distress. A person can be very ill but psychologically OK; someone else can have a less severe medical situation & be very distressed by it. This is something to understand, not to judge.

This is brilliant.

Brilliant letter from Stuart Thompson to Jeremy Clarkson about his comments that benefit claimants should write weekly thank you letters to tax payers detailing how they spend their benefits each week.

If the past is a mystery, the future is uncertain and the present is bewildering, how do we make sense of it all? I think it begins with a sincere and unrelenting search for truth. Keep your curiosity. Speak your mind freely and plainly and listen to others.

(4/4) If you work in oncology, cardiology, or patient advocacy, today is a good day to ask: how well-integrated is cardiac monitoring in your lung cancer care pathway?

Lung cancer treatment saves lives– but some therapies carry cardiac risks too. On #WorldLungCancerDay, let's talk about why heart monitoring belongs in every lung cancer care plan. 🫁❤️ 🧵(1/4) #CardioOncology #LungCancer

When the story of why humanity didn't stop climate change is written, it will feature front pages like this. Even as the skies blacken with climate change-induced wildfires, right wing media continue their relentless crusade against measures to tackle it.

Is there any other highly predictable event where we know that literally hundreds and hundreds* of people are going to be beaten up, yet we do not take serious preventive public safety measures? I guess it's just not fun to spoil the game 🙄 *probably 1000s, these are only the reported incidents

World Cup: Domestic abuse reached record high in UK

there are so many examples of people quietly getting on with it in the background, just doing the right thing, with care, with values. It's so easy to get drawn into thinking everything's shit & nobody cares, but there's actually loads of examples of decent, kind, caring people when you look for it.

Omission of sentinel lymph node biopsies for women over 50 is one of the new updates made to the @ascocancer.bsky.social guidelines. Omitting SLNB from the treatment of early-stage #BreastCancer did not affect 5-year DFS. A promising step in surgical de-escalation! 📊 🔗 bit.ly/4wPWw5Y

The 150-minute weekly exercise target for adults in the UK is not an absolute threshold. Smaller amounts of exercise will still have important health benefits. If you can’t meet the 150-minute target don’t be discouraged. Aim to build some regular exercise into your daily routine.

Person centred care starts with understanding what matters most to patients, service users, families and carers. We welcome the #NHS Quality Strategy's recognition of patient experience as a core aspect of high quality care, alongside safety and effectiveness. [1/2]
