So, my 17 ( nearly 18) yo is off to Uni in Sept, hoping to study medicine. Discovered he's been learning sign language online as he realised how hard it must be for deaf people to communicate with their doctors when they're in masks. He's showing me the way.

Social prescribing has brought a major breakthrough for me as a GP. When the tears are not due to clinical depression but the break down of networks, of security, of stability and so much that's taken for granted; it's great to be able to "prescribe" connection & support.

My 16 year old at #Covid Vaccination centre near home, supporting our older people, minding the queues, handing out masks, I feel so proud. My turn in coming days. All hands to the pump in getting #CovidVaccine out there #passporttofreedom & life nearer to normal.
