I am so sorry for your loss and could not be prouder to be a 'Clanchy girl'. She once asked if I truly wanted to do medicine or felt medicine/law were an expected path and was very clear we should follow our dreams not our expectations. Rest in peace
Thank you so much

If you are worried about what a smear involves have look at this vid explaining the test.
#smearforsmear
I had a smear test this morning wooohoooo it was FAB-U-LOUS! Ok not really but it was ABSOLUTELY FINE & I’m feeling v.pleased I did it. If you’re due one ladies, book it in today 🙋🏽♀️🙋🏼♀️🙋🏿♀️🙋🏻♀️
I will be on
@thismorning
tomorrow and will be clarifying that adrenaline auto injectors should be given into the outer thigh as well as covering other health items.
Apologies. On
@thismorning
today I gave info which was not completely correct. Adrenaline injectors are best used into the thigh as you get the best response there. Thank you for bringing this to my attention

Almost can't believe I am tweeting this. DO NOT VACUUM YOUR PERIOD. DO NOT PUT A VACCUM NEAR YOUR GENITALS. You could cause pain+damage. If your periods are heavy/painful your dr can help, not your hoover.

Your vagina and vulva do NOT need a beauty range including exfoliator and what sounds like vaginal perfum...eau du vagina avec flowers =recipe for sore, itchy skin, thrush or bacterial vaginosis. Don't waste your cash!

We regret to inform you someone has created a “beauty range” for your vagina, including a serum, moisturiser, highlighter(?!) and EXFOLIATOR, and you can buy all seven items for only £231
Actually need to respond again to

Great news to report today! A study in the BMJ of over 138000 women in Scotland has shown that the HPV vaccine has decreased the incidence of cervical abnormalities by just under 90%.…

Also can anyone explain why the pubs are opening at 6am? What are we celebrating? Coronavirus has not gone. How can all day drinking help people maintain their distance?
Today someone came into my home +stole some jewellery and the cash in my kid's moneyboxes. Jewellery given to be by my grandparents. I thought of them everything I wore them+it brought me joy. You stole more from me than you could ever know.
Women in the UK live on average 1/3 of their lives after 50 and after the menopause. It isn't game over, nor should it be portrayed as such

Because for most people aside from being able to go for a walk more than once a day (from Wednesday) there is very little change. Please don't use this slight change as a reason to gather, break social distancing rules etc. Infections will rise+lockdown tighten.

No. This isn't right. We can help and treat cancer, heart attacks and strokes. If you have any signs of these please please seek medical help.

Is this an inside joke we don't understand? Or is Tiger Woods giving a competitor a tampon to imply he is weak as if he has a period?
Because people continuing to work, parent+function while bleeding every month, often in pain at the same time, clearly shows weakness. Right?
Why? I can't think of a good reason, only xenophobic racist ones. We have a shortfall of drs,+nurses! Thank you to the staff from many countries+ethnicities who helped deliver my babies,treated my cancer+more. You are wanted+needed. I am grateful for you.
