@ofalafel.bsky.social Excellent, sorry super-stupid show earlier. Kids both had a lot of fun drawing Spewnicorn with you - Lila has colourised (and indeed superised) hers

@drproudman.bsky.social Having seen a friend totally failed by the Family Court service, her life and her children’s lives further shattered by the process, this rings horribly true. How do we tolerate such dreadful misogyny in this of all bits of our society? www.theguardian.com/law/2026/jun...

Exclusive: Analysis shows 72.5% of 91 judgments in England and Wales contained judicial victim-blaming, with mothers scrutinised more intensely

@writerpoetjohn.bsky.social my little boy Kiran having a go at Ketchupface for #WorldBookDay. He was hoping some green shorts would arrive in time for what he had in mind. When they didn’t he woke me to say he was “sad as the saddest thing on earth”. Putting his bravest face on it here, mind

Very sad news to hear Prof Mike Morgan passed away yesterday. A fine clinician, a wise leader and a lovely human. He leaves a wonderful legacy in Leicester and Respiratory Medicine, but he will be greatly missed.

Creative, smart and charming: @apropostheatre’s #TheTruthAboutTrees inspired our kids’ leaf drawings. Strong impressions from a gentle and beguiling show. Go see it! The Crate, Assembly George Sq, 11.50. #EdFringe #EdinburghFringe #FringeForFamilies #EcoTheatre #FamilyTheatre

Kids, parents, and grandma all very much enjoyed @ofalafel.bsky.social stupidest show. Wanna see a poo on a pogo stick, embellished by a bum-faced snail and a sausage bird? Course you do:

#MIRA is up and running! Prof Louise Wain kicks us off outlining a streamlined entry system for patients who want to participate in research, actively or by allowing linkage of the information we collect clinically in any case. #LeicRespCohort

We only abandoned our #GlenfieldRespTalks briefly during the initial phases of the COVID crisis, but only now really getting back to consistent in-person meetings. So it’s just so lovely to be back in our traditional venue. People homing back to their previous seats like swallows in summer…

And the NHS actually spends less on things we consider “waste”, like admin and managers, than many other nations. The NHS may indeed be inefficient — but it is not “bloated”. Rather, it is inefficient because it is run too lean. More in my column 🔗 www.thetimes.com/article/1130...

Powerful perspective but also reminder of how insurance-based healthcare seems like a nightmare from my UK pov, despite current challenges.

A proud day as a supervisor! Charlie Hitchman coming through his PhD viva w flying colours. A suitably probing discussion that sounds like it was great fun, & a worthy seal on a ‘tour de force’ (examiners’ assessment) PhD. Co-supe’d by Pietro Roversi, now in Milan, and Andrew Quigley at Harwell.

Extraordinary achievements. As a med student on his firm I found him humane with patients, kind to students and outrageously storied. Wouldn’t presume this captures all that he was about, just sourcing my fond memories. www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-engl...
