Unfortunately we got the tragic news that a good friend of mine, Kian Broadhead, sadly passed away on Sunday. He was a huge Liverpool fan and was meant to go to the derby on Saturday, as a present for his little brother Charlie, pictured below. Hoping to arrange a minute… 1/2

hey @thetrainline and @unsereOEBB - My husband and I had long delays on our trip through Europe this year- I have contacted you both to ask for compensation (as per my ticket) and you both say its the others responsibility. How can I take this further? Any advice @seatsixtyone ?

Arla Agnew's blood sugars plummeted after having the drink which is unsuitable for children under four.

Did you know that slushies can be dangerous for small children? They contain glycerol- can cause blood sugar drops, loss of consciousness and seizures! Don’t give to under 4’s and don’t let under 10’s have too much (ie no bottomless cups!) https://t.co/67yqoJrrHA

Beyond frustrated… I’ve spent over an hour trying to get through to a GP practice to give vital patient info. In a queue on both main phone and the consultant connect ‘back door’ urgent line… nothing

Fantastic 2 days @PremierWessex hearing from enthusiastic speakers. Also great to catch up with @drdanmagnus @DrRachaelM @docib @CChaseUk @DrDaveJames in real life and to see so many trainees who have passed through @ED_Paeds now flourishing as consultants. I feel very old 😂

‘PERUKI the brainchild of a group of geeky researchers, older wiser people- some of whom are still on the exec so I have to be careful’ fabulous start of the final talk @PremierWessex Tried not to guffaw too loudly 😂 (they are just my PEM friends!) @PERUKItweep

Talking about burns treatment and first aid in emergency departments- if you are designing a new department we have a bath @ED_Paeds - it’s been a game changer!

Download starts this weekend. Last year, wearable tech issues assumed people in mosh pits had been in a collision, causing 700 extra 999 calls, taking our handlers away from emergency calls. #HelpUsHelpYou by answering our callbacks from hidden numbers to let us know you are safe

Interesting that parents surveyed felt they had never had information on injury prevention- clearly nobody reads the red book… Useful to signpost to the @CAPTcharity and @RoSPA websites for LOTS of easily accessible information 👍🏻 @PremierWessex

Knowing what to do if a child has swallowed a #buttonbattery is important- but having it as a differential diagnosis in kids with vague symptoms that don’t follow the normal pattern is even more vital. #bebatteryaware @PremierWessex https://t.co/B9SGGwN3qL
