Thank-you so much! I can't help but reflect today on some not so encouraging conversations I had early on in my academic career w senior academics about whether it is possible to be a successful academic working less than full time with children. It is. I did. You can.
Many congratulations to our colleagues at @ich_ppp @UCLchildhealth on their promotion in @ucl: @PHardelid - Professor of Epidemiology @m_heys - Professor of Global Child Health @CelineLewis23 - Principal Research Fellow Dr Dean Langan - Associate Professor (Teaching)

I saw the news story on twitter about plans to pharmacists to dispense #antibiotics without a prescription. I didn't believe it at first, and this would clearly take us backwards. We need to stand against this one folks #ip2022conf

Patients will be able to obtain antibiotics from pharmacies without seeing a doctor under new plans aimed at reducing the need for GP appointments.Thérèse Coff

HRH visited the neonatal unit where she was given a demonstration of the @TheNeotree System, which empowers health workers in low resource settings to count & care for every newborn. UK aid is supporting the system due to its potential to save many babies’ lives.
