It will be a shame if #medtwitter dies due due to the Musk-up. But there is a community building at med-mastodon.com.

Couch to 5k is excellent as @Andywebster says. And then you’ll be ready to try out #parkrun which many find really helps sustain their new running achievement. There’s a warm welcome waiting at Potternewton parkrun Heidi. (The park is just about visible from L9 GW). @pottyparkrun
Good idea. I need to do something defintely. Will give it a go! #nothingtolose

'Commuting is often reported as one of the least pleasant daily experiences and as a source of massive environmental impacts' But, it doesn't have to be that way. Supporting active travel with routes that allow 'flow' could make commuting enjoyable! 👇tandfonline.com/doi/full/10.…

The consequence of tolerating pseudoscience is that people die when its legitimatization becomes baked into our culture, health care systems, and institutions.

Read this- and tell me how we collude in the #NHS - and how much work there is to do regards #race issues @JohnAmaechi @AntonEmmanuel2 @Prerana_Issar @yvonnecoghill1 @DrHNaqvi @adilray @Asma_KhanLDN @KamranAbbasi
For those shocked by ‘white-led care’ in paediatrics – here’s more detail of a case where ‘white-led care’ was presented as exemplar of patient centred care to the wider hospital. I will NEVER work in a hospital that facilitates 'white-led care'. #RCPCH21 1/

💥 Calling NHS staff 💥 Would you trust Dido Harding as the new CEO of @NHSEngland. If not, why not? There are 1.3 million of us. And I for one - in the strongest terms possible - say #NoToDido

In my view Simon Stevens has been an excellent head of the NHS: including promoting the national diabetes prevention program and standing up to the politicians to protect NHS funding. And I can’t believe Dido Harding is in the running to replace him. #SayNoToDido
NEW #matthancock (And I REALLY suggest you pause and watch this) In a pool interview Simon Stevens, head of NHS England, reacts to the question ‘Do you believe the Health Secretary hopeless’ 🤔🥶😱🔥🤯👁

I love grandstanding on the ward round; telling the team the importance of weighing patients with heart failure on a daily basis, as it is the most robust and reproducible measure of fluid balance. And then we all peer at the chart: Monday: 95kg. Tuesday 75kg. Wednesday: 85kg.

Interesting study on 200 participants who stopped/stopping #statins because of #muscle symptoms Randomised to placebo & #atorvastatin over 6 two month periods ▶️No difference in muscle symptoms between periods! ⏩Most restarted statins 👉🏽bmj.com/content/372/bmj.n135 via @bmj_latest
Huge pressure on us all now. Keep doing what we now know works and the reward is in reach: 5th June is just 98 days away. #loveparkrun #newnormal blog.parkrun.com/uk/2021/02/…
