🫁 There are huge inequalities in respiratory health across the UK
🛑 Impact does NOT mean academic papers!
🚨 Every research project can and should be designed to inform policy and improve patient outcomes

YES! This is so lovely to see!

Children being welcomed at scientific conferences!

👏👶🔬🧑‍🔬

I'm really proud to be part of a society who are not just normalising but supporting #parents in #science to bring their children to conferences if they want to.

Well done ESPID - thank you for listening!

The children's hospital in #Glasgow lost an amazing doctor recently.

Ian Ramage passed away suddenly and left a huge hole in the #renal team and the whole hospital. He was totally an incredible clinician with acerbic wit, huge warmth and loved by all.

The world is awful. The world is much better. The world can be much better.

All three statements are true at the same time. Understanding this is key to solving big global problems.

We believe data & research can help us understand both the problems we face & the progress that’s possible. 🧵

I'm doing some #MentalHealth First Aid training today and came across this.

This is a really beautiful, powerful representation of #depression which is really accessible to adults and children.

Does anyone know a work-around to get University and NHS email on an Android phone? They fight with each other when I try ...
I know it's possible on an iPhone and others that I have spoken to have also managed on their Android.. What am I missing?

Right, it's about time I moved properly to Bluesky but sad to loose the networks I have followed previously.
Can anyone point me to good follows for:
#InfectiousDisease
#Paediatrics
#Housing
#Retrofitting
#NetZero

Thank you so much!
