Feeling inspired and connected and ready for action after this weekend's national gathering. Healthcare is a right for all, not a privilege for some. Until that is realised.... the fight continues. #PatientsNotPassports

Really looking forward to this weekend's #PatientsNotPassports national gathering. Preparing my talk for tomorrow - a history of the campaign - and feeling inspired and hopeful for a better future having seen how far we have come.

Tuberculosis Resurgent as Trump Funding Cut Disrupts Treatment Globally
The United States was the major funder of tuberculosis programs. Now hundreds of thousands of sick patients can’t find tests or drugs, and risk spreading the disease.

Why increasing rates of tuberculosis in the UK and US should concern everyone. theconversation.com/why-increasi... Ending TB is possible. We have the tools. The investment case is solid. But with UK cutting overseas investment and the USA halting funds to USAID - political will is lacking.

England is at risk of losing its ‘low TB incidence’ status.

Stigma a key driver of #tuberculosis transmission & has a profound effect on people living with TB - not just around diagnosis but for many years. The first lady of Nigeria Senator Oluremi Tinubu spoke passionately this morning about a staff member dying because they hid their TB

Loving this new paper on complexity in medicine, using pediatrics as the worked example. Too many medical authors (and the MRC) run fast and loose with the terms 'complexity' and 'complex interventions'. They should read this paper. #medsky #academicsky #philsci 🧪 www.nature.com/articles/s41...

#MedTwitter Who is using AI for their outpatient vetting? What platform? How does it integrate with your IT? I feel this is a key area where AI would save my time, be me efficient, more effective and more equitable with little risk.
