But he did a good speech, allegedly, anti-racist and everything. And the hand picked Labour stooges aka delegates went home happy according to another article, possibly on the same page.

A Doctor yesterday, a Nurse today. Israel is shooting Doctors and Nurses while they work in hospitals. And our Media is completely ignoring it.

a) this is not a hospital, please don’t insult our intelligence b) seeing patients virtually isn’t any faster for doctors (unless corners are cut), so the only way it delivers faster care is if there are additional doctors. Where are they coming from, then? www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

important article highlighting the continuing benefit to both mother and newborn of vaccinating pregnant women against Covid. The US under RFK Jr just stopped recommending vax for pregnant women. The UK has withdrawn vax for pregnant women too - I think both are very stupid decisions.

I fear rebranding “online consultant follow up” as “online hospital” is really about making the idea of a hospital as *somewhere you go to receive care*, out of date - and getting friends & relatives to do (even more of) the actual job of caring for often very sick people.
