🤳 Is social media causing youth self-harm—or just an easy scapegoat?

This balanced article from the MJA breaks down the weak evidence, moral panic, & addresses real harm risks for young people.

It offers sensible health and policy recommendations (see pic) 📋

Findings from @foodfoundation.bsky.social's 2024 report inc:

5 companies responsible for >80% of TV ads for snacks & confectionary aired before the watershed

42% of businesses don't transparently report on net zero/Scope 3 emissions targets - 17% have seen their emissions increase rather than fall
🚀 We've just launched our 2024 State of the Nation's Food Industry report!

It looks at how 36 major UK food businesses are performing when it comes to supporting #health and #sustainability

I came to the UK from Aus (to do my PhD) and I was excited to work as a GP in the NHS.

The most common thing people say to me?

You went to the wrong way. Go back to Australia.

I hope #primarycare can be revitalised in the UK, it’s heartbreaking to watch its decline as a new GP fellow. #medsky
Can’t get an appt with a GP?

Yet there are 1000s of GPs out of work or struggling to find work
NHS England have cut the equivalent of 2 full-time GPs in funding from an average practice, whilst funding ‘additional’ roles via ARRS

£2bn cut in real term

Not additional then🤷🏻‍♂️ youtu.be/tI69wqP1_3g?...

AI in Primary Care by Dr Jessica Morley (Oxford/LSHTM webinar):

😲 Only 2% of AI algorithms move from lab to frontline (GP&hospitals)
📊 Statistical accuracy ≠ clinical efficacy
❓ The key question for any AI in healthcare project: WHY?

Benefit must be the metric, with evaluation cycles to prove it

Map of AI equity in healthcare:

The move from Twitter to Bluesky is an exercise in social change that political campaigners should pay attention to and let into your thought orbits. It appeared to happen suddenly, but it was filling people's disapproval buckets over a longer time that caused it. 1/3
