1/ NEW🕵️🧵: Good question from @wesstreeting but Im not so sure I understand the response from @mariacaulfield & perhaps more worryingly the response appears to me to be somewhat discrepant from previously published data by @DHSCgovuk
Pls share widely/RT
Pls share widely/RT
2/ This table is included in the response splits it into "age" and "early" retirement which the Minister describes as:
"Age retirements" are taken at or beyond 60 years old
"Voluntary early retirements" are taken before the age of 60 years old
"Age retirements" are taken at or beyond 60 years old
"Voluntary early retirements" are taken before the age of 60 years old
3/ But this data also appears in the @DHSCgovuk to DDRB for example here for GPs starting at page 125 of

2/ @TheBMA @BMA_Pensions have been saying for years, that its crucially important we RETAIN the senior experienced workforce. There are a number of important levers to do this, including pay, pensions & pension taxation.
3/ As the annual & lifetime allowances have been whittled away over the years, the number of senior doctors opting for early retirement has increased as it simply #doesntpaytostay- particularly for those affected by BOTH the annual & lifetime allowances

In this new study, we followed up with women four years after they were diagnosed with preeclampsia during pregnancy. What type of research study is that?

How does this happen?
Rise in BP, from labour and the delivery process can affect blood vessels, causing damage to the brain’s occipital complex.
This causes partial or complete loss of vision. Most times it isn’t permanent, and patient may recover their vision after a while.

Hypertension, also causes other complications like Preeclampsia and Eclampsia. Which comes with raised BP, headaches, leg swelling, protein in urine, and in severe cases, seizures.

This can be prevented.
