I've shed tears of absolute joy seeing your report - best one yet to really highlight the shameful scandal of Primodos. We've a lot to thank @Malriel for. Not least because it was her advocacy that led to the #firstdonoharm review in the first place. Thanks Jason

the rapid adoption of AI with minimal education of how to use it is really astounding in medicine right now. the implications are going to be likely negative and longstanding.

Great to attend an event hosted by @UKSepsisTrust and hearing about plans to improve care for patients. More than half of mesh injured suffer constant UTIs, many end up in A&E and sadly some of our members have died of #sepsis Know the signs: sepsistrust.org/
