In Scotland no cervical cancer cases have been detected in fully vaccinated women since the 2008 introduction of human papillomavirus (HPV) vaccination. Public Health Minister @jenni_minto encouraged those eligible to take up the vaccination offer. See - bit.ly/H_P_V

Are you involved in primary care big data research? Do you need to validate medical condition codelists? If so, you might find our new paper particularly helpful as we explore an innovative approach to do this!

Good to welcome @AngelaRayner to one of our homelessness hubs to see how we are supporting rough sleepers.
This funding from government will make a big difference as we approach the coldest winter months.
No one should be sleeping rough in our city. Let’s end it - for good.
The Deputy Prime Minister, @AngelaRayner, has just launched an emergency fund for rough sleepers this winter.
This fund will save lives and support thousands of the most vulnerable in society.

Don’t ask whose fault this was. Plenty of time for second-guessing and recriminations. Ask instead, what can you do? For my part, that means telling the truth as I see it, as long as I can. The media will be under a lot of pressure to toe the line; don’t capitulate in advance

Our nation’s democratic system functioned last night and we have a new President-elect. All Americans are bound, whether we like the outcome or not, to accept the results of our elections. We now have a special responsibility, as citizens of the greatest nation on earth, to do everything we can to support and defend our Constitution, preserve the rule of law, and ensure that our institutions hold over these coming four years. Citizens across this country, our courts, members of the press and those serving in our federal, state and local governments must now be the guardrails of democracy.

I don't like to tweet much about politics, but if you respond to an overwhelming victory for people you profoundly disagree with by saying, "everyone is clearly stupid/evil", instead of triggering profound curiosity and reflection, you are part of the problem

To my friends in the United States: You've already put your clocks back an hour this weekend; don't put them back eight years on Tuesday.

It's easy to forget how insane the stuff Trump says is sometimes because there's so much of it. Thanks, Jimmy Kimmel.
