After our initial excitement that we were finally getting a flexible season ticket, we've been left feeling somewhat disappointed! These new tickets do not offer the kind of savings needed. Feels like a real missed opportunity to get people back on board.

1/ We welcome the delay to the @NHSDigital plans to gather GP patient data #GPDPR. We feel it is essential that people feel comfortable to remain "opted in" to sharing their de-identified health data, which has enabled research to improve public health and NHS services @useMYdata

👉New paper in @ARD_BMJ by @ehr_lshtm and @OpenSafely
We followed 2.5M people who ever used NSAIDs from the general population and 1.7M people with rheumatoid arthritis/osteoarthritis) in England
We found no harmful effect of NSAIDs on COVID-19 death in either population
Fantastic news!!!
Delighted to announce the appointment of Professor Liam Smeeth as our Director 😀

Useful addition to the growing evidence base although what is of most value is @rob_aldridge commentary on what it means in terms of action and the key point we must ensure the 'new normal' addresses these inequalities directly with good jobs, good housing & strong communities

JAMA rejected this letter from my colleagues & me ("low priority"), so we're publishing on twitter, hoping JAMA will take it more seriously.
