Have stopped saying things on social media mostly, but if I have a voice I cannot stay silent on this. #FreePalestine
Show your support for Palestine – don’t miss PSC’s poster free in tomorrow’s paper as part of their week of action

Wednesday seems to be occupational ILD day at #BTSWinter2024 where we have three great sessions before midday hearing from experts @jofeary @wigruth @gwocclung and many others. Much more needs to be done to prevent and identify these diseases
Brilliant ERS with these two and the rest of the #occlung gang. 3 trains down, 2 to go, going loopy, photo says it all really… #ERSCongress #respisbest #ClimateActionNow @jofeary @gwocclung
Great day at #ERSCongress today and proud to present more data from @UoM_COEH #SWORD scheme on occupational HP. Loads of discussion. Looking forward to next few days.
Really thought-provoking session on ethics&practicalities associated with race-based interpretation of lung function. Key messages: using absolute thresholds is reductive, understanding ‘normal’, focussing on the grey zones and the need to do better for our patients #ERSCongress
I was reminded of the NHS' 76th birthday this week so sharing the article I wrote for its 70th cost-ofliving.net/the-nhs-at-70-… Sadly not much has changed. #HostileEnvironment practices harm & we continue to demand universal, non-discriminatory care. Join us patientsnotpassports.co.uk

Jessica Potter examines the effects of the making the UK a 'hostile environment' on the NHS and public health.
My 7 year old just said ‘I hope you vote sensibly’. Which is a lesson to us all. #ToriesOut #GE24
Occupational ILD can be found in all types of ILD. Don't forget to ask about work. Better prognosis, disease management, benefits and there may be others at work. Also applies to asthma! #BTS @gwocclung @Drchuntley089 @jofeary @wigruth
Occupational lung disease is preventable and can be fatal. Great talks from @jofeary @gwocclung @Drchuntley089

Brilliant sessions today on #sustainability on #cleanairday, #tobaccoaddiction #asthma and #ILD, roll on tomorrow #BTSSummer2024 @BTSrespiratory
Great session this morning on GLD @BTSrespiratory #BTSSummer2024. Come to see us in the exhibit if interested in hearing more about #OLD @UoM_COEH
Standing room only in the granulomatous lung disease session @BTSrespiratory #BTSSummer2024. Honoured to co-chair with @Fasi_Khan10 and thanks to the fantastic speakers presenting on patient experience, occupational lung disease, treatment and drug-induced pneumonitis!
Great work from @IPPR showing how poor work and poor health conspire to make lives difficult for those in the poorest parts of the UK.
Great mix of talks at #BTS today discussing London underground pollution, chemicals from car tyres, silicosis, asbestosis and that we're still under reporting occupational cases. #alwaysaskaboutwork #SWORD #occupation @wigruth @lungsatwork @gwocclung @kimintheredcoat
