We’re facing unprecedented, urgent, complex challenges—and there’s no one better prepared to lead us through them than Prime Minister Mark Carney. His depth of experience, steady hand, and bold vision are exactly what this country needs right now.

Great orientation from the brilliant @ox.ac.uk Primary Care Prof Trish Greenhalgh. Joined two months ago, forget about it and reset my password today. Great to see so many old friends on here, feels more welcoming and safer already
