Years ago - I was dating a guy I thought had real long term potential. It was the 1st relationship I had after a slew of not nice men & I was surprised by how kind, attentive & respectful he was. When it began to get serious - he sat me down to talk about meeting his family. 🧵

Chuffed to announce that our @IndependentSage website has been revamped and made more accessible/searchable, and generally more swish! Huge effort led by the brilliant @chrischirp. We hope it serves as a useful resource both looking back, and forwards. https://t.co/ZmBfIzsR1Y

Great group talk by one of UCL CHIMERA's PhD students this morning - she's using maths to model mucus layers in the lung to understand the impact of critical illness and mechanical ventilation on lung function. Such an interesting project! https://t.co/tJvOQMhsQV

Staff member: "Never seen it this bad. It’s important people understand how bad it is. Imagine being the patient who has waited in an A&E corridor for 91 hours. That’s 4 days! Then they might be boarded (so no room, no toilet no privacy) in a corridor on a ward."
🚨 While Govt talks about elective waiting times, remember thousands are experiencing truly awful emergency care right now. Below is from Royal Liverpool Hospital today - it has activated "full capacity" alert - longest wait for a bed in A&E is 91 hours!! 28 patients on corridor
