One teaspoon of the neonicotinoids pesticide could kill 1.25 billion bees. And yet the Government could be about to let it back on English fields. Sign the petition: tell Ministers to keep this ban on bee-killing pesticides in place.

Why aren’t we doing more to acknowledge that flu covid RSV and noravirus are spread in a large part by aerosols?

Thanks @epatientdave.bsky.social I was referring to your International Patient Summary that you developed and the IPS QR code. It would be interesting to know if you have used your IPS when on your travels. It is a nice demonstration of the utility of SNOMED CT in health records.

@nayib-bukele.bsky.social can El Salvador’s use of #SNOMEDCT support health delivery. The terminology is the medical equivalent of Bitcoin for helping populations use health care systems effectively and efficiently

If you want to see the International Patient Set using #SNOMEDCT in action check out @epatientdave.bsky.social example on the web. Great set of real examples of mobile health data in action.

Belize has joined #SNOMEDCT community as a member country. They join El Salvador and Jamaica as a group of countries. Travel between these countries is common and the opportunities for use the International Patient set of concepts in portable EHRs is there for everybody.

WORLD’S RICHEST MAN BUYING OUR DEMOCRACY! Elon Musk is set to pump £78m into Nigel Farage’s party—a sum that would allow Reform to flood our politics with targeted ads. Maybe other countries allow billionaires to buy elections, but not here!

Preparing for #SNOMEDCT discussion with our clinical informatics lead in pathology. Deploying terminology in #BartsHealth digital pathology system in @sectra.bsky.social to move towards computable synoptic reports. Old SNOMED codes have to go - compute for health

Really great afternoon with #JohnGrimes @csiro.bsky.social talking and planning #SNOMED LLMs use of semantic triples and embedding for EHR data analytics. Visualisations of data and feature development for machine learning.

Big data used for analysis, manipulation and then control extending far into the future. Read the whole thread…

Drax Biomass Power Station is burning the equivalent of 27 million trees a year and getting paid public money to do it! Tell the UK government to stop subsidising forest destruction.

Just going off-piste for a second. I swim all year round along the Dorset coast but usually at South beach in Studland. I have just completed a questionnaire for a public consultation on quality of bathing water organised by the government. The questionnaire is one of the worst documents ever.

@caabtor.bsky.social good to see you here Carol. Computation on standardised terminologies feels a good way forward for @bsky.app folk and to make semantic interoperability a reality

When the word Reckless is not strong enough

@carloprina.bsky.social can we find a way to build an engaging digital health network for east London on @bsky.app It starts with structured data in the problem list….

@dermotor.bsky.social good to see Professor Sudlow has published her review: the arguments for point of care data recording getting stronger as we get older. Hoping @martinmckee.bsky.social will join us on using SNOMED CT for population health
