People naturally choose the easiest and simplest transport solution for their daily journeys. For decades we engineered streets to make the car the easy choice. For the climate and health, we now need bikes and walking to be easier than driving. It's as simple as that #BikeIsBest

Do you prescribe LMWH to patients during pregnancy & puerperium? @sheffielduni & Dr Sarah Davis are conducting research on how clinicians would feel about recruiting patients to clinical trials to improve data for these patients at risk for VTE.

At 9:15am today, Wales will fall silent to remember those who were taken from us in the Aberfan disaster.
55 years may have passed, but we will never forget them.

To Haematologists: If you are using anti-PF4 for VITT confirmation, be aware that many of the standard HIT assays will be negative. The HIT ELISA assays are positive but we do not know if they all perform equally well. This is under investigation.

Another common Q: Does a personal or family history of thrombosis or thrombophilia increase the risk of VITT after AZ vaccination. No it does not.

The amazing Marsh family from the UK are back with a new musical video trying to persuade people to get vaccinated against #COVID19. Have as look even for a few seconds and you will be hooked. youtube.com/watch?v=ZnbOKH9O…
So lucky to be able to cycle to places like this from my home in Cardiff #HandsFaceSpace #keepwalessafe
This is such an important mesage. Lockdown measures are not just about saving the lives of "vulnerable people". Long COVID seems to be able to affect previously fit people of working age. #HandsFaceSpace theguardian.com/commentisfre…
