"This was a vicious campaign but it wasn’t just a campaign against the professor, it was a campaign against all of us and that’s why it is so important to come together and fight for justice for Professor Jason Arday.” standard.co.uk/news/politics…

Professor Jason Arday was victim of ‘public execution’, vigil hears

Thousands gathered for a vigil to remember the former Cambridge professor and criticise the ‘racist witch hunt’ which preceded his death.

Dear @wesstreeting Comparing data between 2016 -2020 and 2020-2024? As per the @gmcuk The difference in employer referral rates between ethnic minority and white doctors has fallen by 61% For non-Uk versus UK graduates, the difference in referral rates has dropped by 69% The regulator says it is now on track to hit its target of eliminating disproportionate employer fitness to practise referrals by the end of 2026. From someone who works with the GMC on tackling referral inequity Let’s not encourage dog whistling 👍🏽 Much regards

Katie’s right. This is absolutely mad. Guess who created this mess? The Conservatives. Guess which Government has just passed emergency legislation to clean up this mess: Labour. Don’t worry, Katie. Lots done, lots more to do.

Hard truth: no Black African has won a Nobel in Phys/Med, Chem, or Physics. Not a talent gap. A systems gap. 🧪🌍 Fix it: fund African-led consortia; equitable IP/authorship; APC & visa waivers; mentorship + protected time; nominate relentlessly. ✊🏿 #AfricanScience #NobelPrize

Now…a few things about this new development in #T2D via @NICEComms Firstly? Good update in keeping with the science available Now the main points: 1. No way @NHSEngland can implement this AND #Obesity together with finances as they are. 2. One hope is the patent going (see legal case vs Astra Zeneca) and thus generic use of SGLT2i 3. Asking people to raise with GP or diabetes team is not appropriate. They can’t do anything till approved by local system - where point 1 will be important. I can’t stress this enough to comms teams of ALL national organisations There needs to be far more honesty about what the NHS can deliver. And setting of expectations @kamleshkhunti @GoggleDocs @DiabetesUK @VictoriaTzB

Millions of people are set to benefit from earlier access to newer type 2 diabetes treatments – the biggest shake-up in diabetes care for a decade. NICE's independent committee has expanded access to SGLT-2 inhibitors to first-choice treatments. 🔗nice.org.uk/news/articles/bi…

Great write up from @BT1DUK Is it really a subtype of autoimmune #T1D or a completely distinct insulin-deficiency #diabetes disease? More updates coming shortly 😉

@BT1DUK31 Jul 2025
Research news: A new subtype of type 1 diabetes (T1D) has been found in Africa 🔬 A recent study found that 65% of children tested and living with T1D did not have the genetic characteristics of the condition. This suggests a new subtype of T1D has been identified. Read the full story: bit.ly/41iHJDx 📖 #Type1Diabetes #GBDoc [Image description: New subtype of type 1 diabetes (T1D) found in Africa]

Pharmacists should have their student debts written off too. We do a lot of the NHS and now we are expected to prescribe and manage long term conditions with zero NHS pensions, understaffing and corporate KPIs. @wesstreeting

This is a no brainer Anyone that has worked in the NHS for 2 years should have their student written off
