Use public transport they said. It'll take the stress out of Christmas shopping, they said. Here's the road I have to walk down with my baby & pram, and the park & ride car park at Moira train station at 5pm. Good work @Translink_NI

This video makes emotional. Humans in the UK are more likely to murdered in the first year of life than any other time. We believe most are a moment of loss of control. More than one victim really. This video illustrates what the pressure is and how ICON could help.
Did you know that April is Stress Awareness Month? If you've had a stressful day at work, it may be hard to cope with a crying baby. But if you know your baby is safe, it's OK to walk away, and take a breath. Never Ever shake a baby as this can cause brain injuries. #iconcope

Fascinating thread for anyone working with acutely unwell children I think advice in VIW (especially in new/recent diagnosis) very different from established asthma. Watch out for @PERUKItweep survey on wheeze discharge advice (spoiler alert: it’s variable!) later this year. – at East Midlands, England

Thanks to everyone who has signed this. 🙏 Amazing response from the UK paediatric emergency community & little need to point out the importance of this today. #Mariupol Not too late to sign if you are a UK doctor dealing with paediatric emergencies: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F…
