Very pleased to attend the swearing in of the members of Lesotho’s National Reforms Authority. Action to implement the agreed reforms is critical for Lesotho’s future progress.
This is a great role with the potential to lead real & lasting improvement in EOL Care. I wish there were more days in my week! https://t.co/uVXRVyqeIo
Indian PM Modi's choice of "Racist of the year" Bolsonaro as chief guest at India's Republic Day speaks volumes about Modi's respect for indigenous rights. They're both attacking diversity and biodiversity. #NoWonderTheyreFriends

His Majesty King Letsie III received Letters of Commission from @AnneMacroUK last May. Meeting in Maseru today, we informed His Majesty that we had just raised 🇬🇧 at new High Commission building for 1st time. Back in business.
So true. And in our health and care services too. There is a lot that is “strong”
How can we help people to live a good life? Instead of trying to right what's wrong within a community, we need to start with what's strong. We must help people discover what gifts they have and to use those gifts to enrich those around them. #ABCD

I am one of over 80k people saying NO to another war in Middle East. @BorisJohnson, @DominicRaab and @BWallaceMP, listen to the public: https://t.co/vNc6ZW0elT
@CormacRussell Primary care may identify loneliness as a contributing factor to morbidity and help individuals to recognise that. Communities can/ should intervene to both prevent and ease
We are in danger of medicalising loneliness but primary care does have a part to play
Addressing loneliness head on is as productive as charging Rhino. You’ll loose. Better get past the label *lonely* to discover the person’s passions and potential contributions to the wellbeing of others, and then find folks to receive those gifts; and connect; connect; connect.
Congratulations @jonathanleach13 @VictoriaTzB . Great to hear and thanks for all you do @rcgp
Many congratulations, Jonathan and Victoria! https://t.co/rOdrKYzhRB
@ChristmasRowena Just wait a few years. I got to read “‘‘twas the night before Christmas “ again to all my grandchildren by candlelight - and my boys and their wives

case finding’ :term used by people who can’t quite seem to admit that it’s screening but without evidence. Open access
Why ‘case finding’ is bad science,me, @FellGreg @sfinnikin @muirgray , Mike McHugh,, @HarrietAHunt https://t.co/YD4Y3vA5rM
And we need to think carefully how we share that with the individuals seeking our help #value #shareddecisionmaking #MakingChoicesTogether
An awful lot of the drugs we prescribe don't do nearly as much good as the non-pharmacological interventions in which we repeatedly fail to invest.
