Really important report @BlueSkyTrust. People living with HIV still face a lot of discrimination and stigma in their daily lives. This also occurs within the NHS we need to act to stop this #HIV #HIVstigma undetectable=untransmittable

Weβd like to give a huge shout out to the thousands and thousands of scientific and laboratory staff across the NHS. Many of them have felt invisible during the pandemic, but we want them all to know that their vital role is recognised and so appreciated.

Could two followers please copy and re-post this tweet? I'm trying to demonstrate that someone is always there, especially at this time of year. Call 0800 689 5652 (National Suicide Prevention Helpline UK). Just two. Any two. Copy, not retweet. Letβs all look out for each other.

πΆ Talking about the prostate isnβt always easy. So letβs sing about it instead. The @MarshSongs family turned their grandfather's prostate cancer experience into a song to help men everywhere. All profits raised from the songβs release will help us beat prostate cancer. π

New data from @UKHSA confirms for the FIRST time the @UNAIDS 95-95-95 targets were met at a pan national level. The UK has achieved 95-99-97. This is not "luck". This is the result of Hard Work from the wider #HIV sector. We are on track to end HIV transmissions. #WorldAIDSDay

Brilliant Qs on environmental impacts of antibiotics @minna_eii, Dr Aldridge @NewcastleHosps, Amy Carson Bristol Last Q-"What can we as physicians do?" A-Apply the Principles of sustainable healthcare (image) AND (i forgot to say) advocate &collaborate for sustainable procurement
Powerful presentation from @sarahcwalpole on C02 footprint of antimicrobials. Limitations aside, the CO2e of IV ciprofloxacin and vastly larger than PO (maybe 60x), and more plastic waste. Another reason to get switching from IV to Oral as soon as we can. @PharmDeclares #FIS21
