Had an amazing day in Nottingham 🎉 but the 17:35 EMR left late, so now I’m gonna miss my @LNER connection at Grantham 😩 Anyone know where I stand with delay repay? Can I claim from @EastMidRailway ? #TrainDelay #EMR #LNER #DelayRepay

After a recent flare, the lupus team is considering switching my treatment—possibly to belimumab or rituximab. I’ve read the data guidelines. Now I’d love to hear your lived experience. Did it help reduce prednisone? @Cyclinintherain @LupusEurope @evemdsmith_eve @ricky_chotai

Is it just me, or has anyone else noticed that there seem to be more female OT (Occupational Therapists) than male? After diving into some papers this afternoon, it feels like this might be a trend. Is this becoming the norm in the field? @ClareTaylorBU @OT_Expert @sarah_dzu_OT

OTs-has anyone done an Advanced Clinical Practitioner course or know anyone who has? 1. What opportunities did the course provide within your clinical settings? 2. How did completion or part completion of the course advance your OT career? Thank you😊
