NHS staff across the country are, as always, playing their part in response to this week's riots. But we shouldn’t let dedication to duty disguise the fact that seeing this flare-up of racism will leave many colleagues feeling afraid and unwelcome. ➡️ england.nhs.uk/2024/08/state…

The key points about vaping (E-cigarettes) can be easily summarised. If you smoke, vaping is much safer; if you don’t smoke, don’t vape; marketing vapes to children is utterly unacceptable. I expand on these points in the article below. gov.uk/government/news/chief…

5 years ago, today, I started work at @HWHCT_NHS as medical director. There have been ups and downs (with a pandemic thrown in), but what a rewarding journey it’s been. In my view, best decision I made to work in the best Trust with the best colleagues.
