Picture from yesterday at #BSR24 - our fabulous Western Isles nurse Alison MacIver presenting her research poster on social engagement in people with rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease
ALT Woman with brown hair standing to the right of a screen showing a slide that says "measuring social engagement in rheumatic and musculoskeletal disease"
Fabulous talk from @KlaireConnor this morning to kick off second day of #BSR24 - we are so grateful for her input with our under 25s in the adult service
ALT Slide says "young people: what do they want" and then "included, listened to, educated, a future, to be seen as their own person"
.@USC this is an appalling decision - Asna Tabassum sounds like the most inspiring and talented student, she is valedictorian, she is a biomedical engineer and sounds like EXACTLY who we need to be listening to and learning from just now
Sad decision from @USC
A Muslim woman who minored in resistance to genocide is the USC Class of 2024 valedictorian — and USC is BANNING her from speaking at Commencement.😐

Excellent work from today @MishalHusain #r4today trying to pin Schapps down. It's clear to the UN that it isn't possible for Palestinian civilians to get to safety with the removal of resources and 24hr deadline given by Israel, why isn't it clear to the UK government?

The other thing I have to say about this is one I've said before:
If you as a consultant develop a significant acute or chronic illness, often you get support and can write a BMJ column about it (I'm fine with this, it's the contrast that's problematic) but if you are a trainee..

I gave up doing nightshift after 5.5yrs of doing them as a junior Dr. They made me unwell, and I stopped waking up for night time hypoglycemia episodes. This carries a mortality risk. I still had to argue my case with occupational health /1

We are all for teaching that #selfcare is important....but apparently not when it means things like attending scheduled hospital appointments. #selfcare but not like taking time off when you are sick. #selfcare but please don't have a chronic illness.
Appalled to receive a letter on my daughter (with #cysticfibrosis) poor school attendance (due to clinics & illness). Subtle threats incl legal action if we do not take steps to improve her attendance next year. Grossly insensitive & upsetting. You can imagine my reply.

This is a major issue on many levels. Attending hospital appointments is important for many children and young people, but also being off when sick is important.
Presenteeism of other kids also negatively impacts those with chronic illness.
