Oh no, another “transformation” is coming We haven’t finished the latest “transformation”; I’ve been through at least 3 redesigns of services since working in the NHS The more it “transforms”, the more it reverts to how it used to be several years ago, as the latest sets of

Cycled to the gym and back, a bit of everything at the gym I listened to a podcast about how muscles and exercise help keep the brain sharp. Very timely! 😂

Most university courses I looked at for my daughter had separate entry criteria for students from underprivileged backgrounds Example in the screenshot below It’s called “contextual admissions”. Will this reduce inequity, or do we want to have actual “quotas” and admission

Thinking about it, social mobility was easier in Romania than it seems to be in England. My family was not rich at all, I could only afford to go to Uni in my hometown living at home. But Uni was free and I got a scholarship for most years. Many of my colleagues came from

Hilarious 😂 I think musicians and artists, in general, would better stay out of politics, so that enjoying their art is not corrupted by political views (I mean “art” in general, don’t listen to much modern music to comment on T Swift’s music)

STOP! It's OK. It's his wife's fault: "At the time of the offences, Mr Edwards describes an unhealthy lifestyle featuring excessive use and misuse of prescribed medication. He has expressed some disappointment that although family members had commented on these changes, there

The world of nutrition, “health optimisation” and longevity seems straight forward. Until you delve more into it. Then it’s a huge mess. Like everyone wants to re-invent the wheel to become an expert on a tiny piece of the pie.

I did a teaching session about PTSD and trauma last week and since then my feed has been full of PTSD and trauma stuff. I feel under surveillance now.

It's a massively important topic. Hard to discuss publicly as people feel victimised and not believed as a consequence. “Social contagion” explains many unexplainable conditions and “unusual” presentations. Noone will state it on a clinical letter, though.
