I’m seeing tweets from nurses being denied access to drinks at work including a matron binning staff water bottles. I wonder about the legality of this. Health & Safety at Work act? Human Rights Act? Any solicitors out there able to advise? (@BarristerSecret, @theRCN)

One year ago, I protested outside Downing Street. I was six months’ pregnant, and working as a doctor on the frontline. 👩‍⚕️ Within hours, I knew my life would never be the same. THREAD:

TDoR is always so heavy. Transphobia kills. After a challenging meeting today I reached out and found solidarity with a stranger, now friend. Our community bears such grief with unbelievable dignity and grace. I feel endlessly honoured to be part of it. 🕯

Today is Trans day of Remembrance, a time to remember those who lost their lives to transphobia. Stonewall will be marking the day with a digital vigil open to the public. The vigil can be streamed online here: stonewall.org.uk/events/digi… Sending <3 to all. #Transdayofremembrance

*Reported* #homophobic #bullying has gone up 55% in the last 5 years, in London alone. We must do better. #HammerItOut #AntiBullyingWeek #Antibullyingweek2020 #antibullying #medtwitter @VirtualNHSPride @RainbowNHSBadge #medtwitter
Yesterday was the anniversary of #Section28 being repealed. Today, during #AntiBullyingWeek, we learn the Government has stopped funding projects to tackle anti-LGBT bullying in England's schools. Without funding LGBT kids will be left to suffer in silence bbc.co.uk/news/education-549…

Happy #Transawarenessweek all. Though we still have a long way to go, we are proud to say that the #NHS has recently signed the Trans Rights are Human Rights pledge, taking a stance and standing in solidarity with our #trans colleagues and patients. #TransAwarenessWeek

#LockdownEve... I’m definitely finding it harder - generally more tired, lower resilience. I thought this might be helpful for some:
