During Covid lockdown, if you had family round on Christmas Day the police could force their way into your home and make them return to their own homes.
Does anybody know if this service is still available and, if so, do you have to book it?

If you think more privitisation is good for the NHS.
Ask yourself, why hasn't it helped with water? Or energy? Or transport? Or in fact anything ever?
Rivers full of sewage, energy bills through the roof whilst record profits are recorded and disrupted expensive travel. Let this be a warning.

Vaccines save lives. Keep repeating the message. It’s the truth.
Vaccines against COVID-19 saved over 20 million lives in the first year alone, according to a study in Lancet Infectious Diseases. Anti vaxxers conveniently ignore such stats.

Just your regular reminder that laboratory reference intervals rely on the following assumptions
✨Gaussian distribution of values
✨Healthy population
✨2.5% of population on either side is out of range
Therefore they may or may not be relevant to any individual clinical decision making
