No-one has done more to champion cancer patients, demystify dying, raise funds for cancer research & break down the barriers between the lab, the clinic and the patient.
Thank you, wonderful @bowelbabe, for your magnificent spirit & thirst for life 💙

Just another ‘lazy GP’ ready to see West Wirral’s unwell, both face to face and remotely at 8am on a Saturday (& honoured to do so). Public, please get behind us, we went into medicine to help, i don’t know a GP who isn’t working late/starting early; feeling tired and demoralised

👇 More on hierarchy of evidence...
But remember, everyone, this hierarchy is focused on research aimed at inferences of causality. Not all research addresses questions of causality, and therefore, this hierarchy doesn't make sense for all forms of research!

How the men at my work leave at night:
Walk out & leave
How I as a woman leave work at night:
1. Make sure I have my phone in hand, just in case
2. Wear a hoodie to look more masculine
3. Make sure I’ve parked under a streetlight
4. Get in & immediately lock the car

To fight Zoom fatigue, give people the freedom to turn their cameras off.
New experiment: videos off reduces exhaustion and boosts engagement—especially for women and newcomers.
Cameras off doesn't reflect disengagement. It helps to prevent burnout and promote attention.

Chart plotting the change in #Covid19 cases in England latest 7 days vs previous 7 days by age
1⃣ Rates significantly higher among younger people - lower risk of illness
2⃣ Rates among older people are hardly moving - good news
Cases make headlines but less important than past
