Student loans in England have become a significant long-term financial and psychological factor for graduates. The impact ranges from daily budgeting struggles to delayed life milestones like being able to afford to buy a home. The student loan system is now effectively a graduate tax.

Many clinical guidelines are based on research in younger, healthier patients; making it difficult to apply them in people with frailty and polypharmacy. We need to move away from single-disease trials toward studies that include complex, older populations with multimorbidity.

Some people assume (wrongly) because they can't get an appointment with a GP, it means "GPs aren't working". The reality is that general practices are offering a record number of appointments. A further increase in appointments to adequately meet health needs requires more GPs.

It doesn’t say much about the quality and rigour of the government’s vetting processes if people can be appointed as members of the House of Lords or to senior roles such as ambassador whilst having serious questions to answer about their past.

It's essential for the NHS to offer a range of consultation options. A balanced mix of face-to-face, telephone, video and digital consultations is essential for a modern, equitable NHS. Every consultation mode has distinct advantages but each may not be suitable for all patients.

I teach my students that when presenting data using a graph, starting the y-axis at zero is essential for visual integrity. This ensures that the physical proportions of the graph accurately represent the data and that small changes in variables are not visually exaggerated.
