Well said @yasmin_khan on how poor the UK’s response to seeing mothers & their children starving in Palestine has been. The tactic of weaponising the supply of food has been going on for months & the lack of a serious intervention to stop it is shaming. @BBCWomansHour

bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c991… The terrible news from Gaza continues. The killing, starving & attempt to de-humanise fellow human beings has to stop. All it does is compound the problem, not resolve it. We stand with all those working for peace through peaceful means in this region.

Long overdue but very welcome. A more collaborative culture of care between health professionals & patients/ their families should be encouraged. Patients/ their families have useful insights about their loved ones that can be used to deliver better clinical outcomes
“We believe it will save lives.”
Merope Mills, whose 13 year-old daughter Martha died of sepsis because her symptoms were missed, speaks to @MarthaKearney as the NHS announces that hospitals in England will be offered funding from April to introduce 'Martha's Rule'.

At least 20,000 annual UK cancer deaths avoidable, says charity. Yup we’ve known for a while there’s lots we can avoid & prevent. The question is how do we change the culture we have so we make the change in a joined-up, sustainable way? bbc.co.uk/news/health-674867…

Wow. We worked on this idea 3.5 years ago but worried about the lack of capacity in both public & private sectors, the eventual ‘pass on’ cost to taxpayers & more of the NHS being ‘stealth’ privatised @BBCHughPym @wesstreeting theguardian.com/society/2023…

Rishi-in-La-La-Land! Sunak is a liar - he claimed Covid is the sole cause of waiting lists - not true. He also tried to sell a vision of future healthcare but had no idea on how. What’s needed is honesty, expertise, collaboration & a real plan @LukeTryl @wesstreeting
"You can pick some selective statistics, but overall, the experience that people are having on [NHS] waiting lists is dreadful" says #BBCLauraK
"It's because we've had a pandemic, Laura" replies PM Rishi Sunak

#notmyking While it seems the police acted very poorly it’s worth taking a wider perspective to understand why this matters & why it’s bad news for all of us who respect various democratic freedoms like free speech bbc.com/news/uk-65515769 nationalarchives.gov.uk/educ…

With this essay @soundboy fires a flare high up into the dark night of ignorance about what AGI is, what it offers & the threat it poses to illuminate us all. A great piece. Anyone interested in Ai &/ or human progress will enjoy it immensely!

A very thoughtful piece in FT on governance of AI, by Ian Hogarth ft.com/content/03895dc4-a3b7…
-- strengthens the argument I made in my Monday Mint column: The answer is to throw more human brain power at the policy problem.
Ryuichi Sakamoto was a lunar flare of a talent. He used music to take us out of ourselves, to create and illuminate spaces for us to think, feel and connect. We are better for everything he gave us. #profbriancox #richard_littler

Yes indeed. For those interested it could be worth checking a couple of projects running at the Royal College of Art service design course focussing on depression as these dial up social factors. Feel free to make contact & more here linkedin.com/posts/alexbarcl…
@joannamoncrieff
A useful graphic from a large clinical imaging study jamanetwork.com/journals/jam… showing how neurobiological measures do not (or barely) differentiate between people with depression and people without, but social factors do, substantially

Very sad news. Life is the most precious thing we humans have & if this news is true it devalues all that we are as human beings.

Excellent note @ReicherStephen on myth making. The Queen’s death surfaces the deep need humans have for connection, meaning, resonance & ritual & not that we’re all monarchists ‘Don’t be fooled everyone queueing in London is mourning the Queen’ theguardian.com/commentisfre…
