🔬 Did you know Icodextrin, now key in #PeritonealDialysis, was developed at Manchester Royal Infirmary
Originally a dietary glucose polymer, it became a CAPD breakthrough after the MIDAS trial & used globally.
An innovation with real impact – & a twist in the tale.

A day of shame for the UK. A political party proposes mass deportations and the response from other political parties is not to condemn this as going further than even Mosley or the National Front.
No10 spokesman not prepared to criticise anything about Farage speech today.
Not his description of "invasion", not his prediction that the UK on brink of civil war, not plans to pay the Taliban or Iran to take back migrants, or indeed to rule out doing so themselves.
