Very good to be back at the Labour History Archive at the People's History Museum, reading through pictures and Molly's letters home when she was nursing in the Spanish Civil War. Thanks to archivist Darren for looking after us. #MollyMurphy #HistNursing

What an interesting publication. Thanks for sharing this - we are so far away from some of these ideas that its easy to forget what education can and should be

Well done @rcnlibraries for an excellent exhibition. Historic context, memories and collaboration with current prisoners and nurses offer a window into this hidden, but essential nursing speciality. Currently at the Edinburgh library, and open to the Fringe! #hustnursing #edfringe

Four weeks into the latest escalation in #Lebanon, the humanitarian situation is rapidly deteriorating. Health facilities are closing, hospitals are evacuating and medical staff are working under immense pressure as access to care becomes increasingly difficult and communities are disrupted.

My FOI request from the Metropolitan Police came good! Spent the weekend working through files re the 1925 raid on the Communist Party of Great Britain - when Molly's husband Jack was tried and imprisoned. Just tiny fragments on Molly, but fascinating all the same #mollymurphy #histnursing

Today, a 29-day-old baby died at Nasser hospital, southern #Gaza, #Palestine, just two hours after arriving at the MSF- supported paediatric ward in the early hours of the morning. Despite treatment efforts, he could not be saved. According to the MoH, he died from hypothermia.

The harsh winter weather and the already dire living conditions is increasing health risks and MSF teams are consistently seeing high rates of respiratory infections - something which will only increase throughout winter and is particularly dangerous for children under 5.

As #Gaza is battered by heavy rains and storms, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians continue to struggle in flooded and broken makeshift tents. MSF calls on Israeli authorities to urgently allow a massive scale up of aid into the Strip.

Fear is also a border. On #WorldRefugeeDay, our new animation explores how fear shapes the journey of those forced to flee. Doctors Without Borders offers mental health support to those in need, even when borders close due to prejudice. 📣 Report if you stand with refugees.
