With thanks to @richardodurrant for permission to share our DMs. Worries about lack of nutrition at the end of life are very common, & should always be taken seriously. I'm talking here about dying from an illness, & how dying impacts appetite & gut function. cc @APMPostTweets 1/

With isolation periods being reduced or stopped in the event of a negative lateral flow test, this #TalkEvidence episode explores the data behind these decisions. @AllysonPollock joins @drhelmac and @jsross119. Listen at https://t.co/BSv1tEDUe6 or https://t.co/Q2t2eEqjRK https://t.co/jlS5oro2oo

Joseph Ross @jsross119

Agree strongly with this commentary and the need to reform our models of evidence synthesis from "static" to "living". And major shout outs to @drhelmac, @NavjoytLadher, @eloder and many others @bmj_latest who made living reviews happen during COVID19 https://t.co/Yk2BTx8EFj

Thanks @bmj_latest @natalie_banner and Cathie Sudlow @HDR_UK for talking with me. I hope GPs and members of the public continue to learn more about this project and others like it. Have a read, or listen to Natalie on BMJ podcast #TalkEvidence

Launch of the NHS’s flagship GP data extraction programme has been further delayed with no fixed start date. What were the concerns surrounding it and how could communication and understanding of the project be improved? @drhelmac https://t.co/2pUwwE2zPG
