@cathnoakes.bsky.social please would it be possible to have an update on the Bradford schools trial? Was it published? You shared a summary, it looked promising. Last time I asked, way back in 2024, I was told it was still undergoing review, wouldn’t be published as a preprint and to keep waiting.

I need something to keep my hands busy & calm my mind but I have NO energy and a melted brain. Embroidery? Too complicated, weak hands. Puzzles? Paint-by-numbers? Can’t do either in bed. Crochet? Can’t count. Knitting? No arm strength. Oh and no fundage $

So this is the new great idea🤔

I’m pretty sure if Sarah had seen a GP she wouldn’t have needed to have a CT scan, no need to speak to the ENT registrar & yes it could be managed in the community

Why does NHS England always underestimate the skills of GPs?

We're only now heading into what is normally the worst of Norovirus season here... and our rolling annual total of cases of Noro is already unprecedented.

Why?

Winter crisis - GPs are not to blame

By providing 20% more appts with 20% less funding than 2016
1/7 of population waiting for hospital treatments or investigations they are overwhelmed
GPs have 2300 patients up 500
Funding not matching demand & some GPs unemployed

We’ve got a hard hitting #ThereForME substack out today from Karen Galpin, writing about caring for her daughter Sophia, who has very severe ME.

Karen describes their daily reality, responding to narratives that downplay the impact of #ME

I'm uncomfortable sharing #ME related personal info but the level of disability #pwME experience always needs exposing.
Sometimes I type when I can't bring food to my mouth or put on another layer of clothing.
Typing uses fingers & eyes, eating & dressing require limbs & more energy.

I have just been judged by someone with LC/ME much milder than mine for not ‘seizing the day’ and making the most of opportunities like they do. It was someone who should know better. Gobsmacked.

While waiting in a ward to see someone in hospital this week, I carefully watched a doctor who went from patient to patient handling them and handling objects and not washing or sanitising their hands between patients...
*and coughing*
Not into their elbow... just into the air.

THIS IS HUGE! Researchers at TAU and the University of Lisbon have developed a groundbreaking nano-vaccine against COVID-19, delivered via nasal spray WITHOUT requiring cold storage. Preclincial studies show the vaccine was effective against ALL major SARS-CoV-2 variants. Let’s talk about that! 🧪🧵⬇️

A "stocktake"? wtf does that mean? Also very telling that he uses the outdated term "CFS/ME".

And just who is in this "working group"?

They shouldn't need to determine *if* [whether] extra support is required. Archer has told them it *is* required and that something needs to be done about it.

Well thanks to this interview (see end of longer video), it's now clear who is doing this "stocktake" audit of ME services for NHS England.
