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.

Damage limitation.
Except the only damage they care about is theirs - in the polls.
The NHS damage they’ve inflicted for 9 years, on the other hand. Systematic, calculated, deliberate degradation.
And *thats* why little children are lying on the floors of our hospitals 😔 https://t.co/i4p3UIJH7D

The myth about decision aids: do they extend the clinical encounter? https://t.co/wJl5JGjINs
Although most of the climate change problems have caused by northern hemisphere behaviour and activity , good to see the south taking global responsibility - and I know from visits plastic refuse is a real problem in Lesotho
