Public Health England missed a post pandemic golden opportunity to educate re cross infection and reduce sick days taken off work - more importantly immune compromised people remain at risk from general attitude that it is ok to be out and about and spread infection.....

This is an excellent letter. Resident doctors should not be pressurised to sign prescriptions for patients they have not assessed on the say so of a PA.
Resident doctors should not be instructed to sign-off potentially unsafe prescriptions.

Today, council chair Dr Phil Banfield has written to Mark Hackett, Interim Chief Executive University Hospitals Plymouth NHS Trust to raise serious concerns about unsafe working arrangements.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history.

Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.

Proud to be a co-signatory on this amendment, which was in Labour’s manifesto - to make hate crimes against people due their sexual orientation, transgender identity, or a disability, an aggravated offence.

Fully support @racheltaylormp.bsky.social on this.
I’ve tabled NC122 to the Crime and Policing Bill to make hate crimes against people because of their sexual orientation, transgender identity or disability an aggravated offence. We must treat these offences with the seriousness they deserve. Please ask your MP to sign NC122.
