Not a single junior doctor will have taken the decision for industrial action lightly-Their campaign is for pay restoration-but at heart of the problem is a decade of severe underinvestment. This is, fundamentally, a call to save the NHS for us all.Full support to you @TheBMA

Started the day waiting on a train with fellow delegates from Malawi and Timor. Hearing about the work of delegates - representatives/ civil servants - and also the personal experiences of how #climatechange is being tackled and is affecting countries around the globe. #COP26

Always a pleasure to mix medicine and the Mayoral role - Addenbrookes has certainly grown since junior doctor days on C2 ward back in 2005.

Inspired by my meeting with @NeneParkPboro Trust and the tremendous plans they've got. This is an excellent example of the incorporation of public health and wellbeing at the heart of our community. #futureparksaccelerator #Peterborough

Thank you to @MarcusRashford for his new book, #Youareachampion , which is a real confidence-booster for growing children; I picked up my copy at @WHSmith , who are working w/ @Literacy_Trust and @panmacmillan to help get more children reading.
