THE EMBLEMS ARE HERE 🙌🔥 Consider this your official reveal 😉 Inspired by our reef, beaches, hinterland and everything in between, they bring together the places, people and spirit that will take us to 2032. Distinctive. Unmistakably Queensland. And just a little bit cheeky Brisbane, Queensland, Australia - this one’s yours 💗

Great news for new parents: intensive care admissions for RSV in babies have halved in England, thanks to the maternal vaccination programme. 👶👶🏾👶🏼 If you're pregnant, don't miss out. Contact your maternity service or GP practice to get vaccinated & help protect your newborn.

My flight was 3:40pm. It’s now 8:05pm. Still haven’t left. This incident has caused so much disruption. Worst of all, if our flight hadn’t been late inbound and then also an engineering fault, we’d have left before the security incident happened.

Confusion everywhere now at Brisbane Airport as re-screening starts: individual flights being called over the loudspeaker to come forward but on arriving at security staff instead giving different information and wishing different flights to screen. Lack of consistency.

Massive crowds as Brisbane airport evacuated. Unclear what will happen next and how they plan to re-screen the several thousand passengers here.

Entire Brisbane airport domestic terminal being evacuated. Have just been deplaned to leave and re-screen. Report is that security screening device was used whilst in fault mode and thus some passengers not screened. Now entire place has ground to a fault.

All flights grounded at Brisbane domestic due to an airport security breach. Unclear when things will get moving or what will happen next. Stuck on my already delayed flight at the gate. Staff on board lovely while we wait to hear more.

Just finished nights where we had zero catheters in ED, no working MRI, no aciclovir available for my patient, and skeletal nursing and HCA staffing. I had to scour three stores for a blue cannula… But no… difficult conditions because of the strikes 🤡 #FullPayRestoration

"We did not need to be in this position. These strikes were unnecessary." @WesStreeting explains why 👇 Watch his message to NHS staff continuing to work during strikes.

Imagine someone nicks £40 from your £100. They give you £20 back, then call you greedy for asking for the rest. That’s what doctors are facing. They are being paid 20% less in real terms than they were in 2008. Full pay restoration is not an unreasonable demand.

90% said yes to strike action. PAs are paid more than doctors. Sort it out.

After a 28.9% pay rise thanks to a Labour government, patients and the public will be dismayed that the BMA is choosing to strike - and so am I. I have written to the BMA today reaffirming our preference to work together to improve their working lives and rebuild our NHS.

@TheBMA4 Mar 2025
1/ Today the BMA has started legal proceedings to rectify the disastrous decision to unilaterally withdraw applications to higher specialty training for those doctors affected by the @MRCPUK exams debacle. Read the press release: bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

🧵/ This heartbreaking case highlights why so many doctors like me have begged @NHSEngland & @DHSCgovuk to stop endangering NHS patients by substituting doctors with non-medically trained PAs We've been dismissed & smeared as "toxic bullies". Please read this thread & decide.
