NADINE DORRIES: No one warned me about this nightmare side-effect of taking Mounjaro - this is the great advice I got from a surprising source
I almost screamed in shock and leapt from my chair to check my reflection in the mirror above the fireplace. When I gently tugged again at my hair to see if I had a serious problem, I detached another clump.

Staff fearful of reprisals if they speak up amid hospital investigation, report finds
Staff at a hospital trust where police are investigating at least 90 deaths say they face reprisals and ridicule from bosses if they raise concerns, according to a damning report. Asked to review University Hospitals Sussex, the report's authors said they 'repeatedly heard concerning examples of staff, often at a senior level, being ignored, dismissed and sometimes ridiculed when speaking up.' The report by Niche Health and Social Care Consulting said this fear of reprisals from whistleblowing could be harming patient safety. It also highlighted complaints of misogyny and failures to deal with 'unwanted romantic advances'. The review team noted a number of challenges facing the trust, including an investigation by Sussex police into possible corporate and individual manslaughter charges over allegations of medical negligence and cover-up in the general surgery and neurosurgery departments. Operation Bramber is focused on the deaths of more than 90 patients, and serious harm suffered by more than 100 others. It was sparked by the concerns of two consultant whislteblowers who lost their jobs at the trust after speaking up, first revealed in the Guardian in June 2023. The report found staff feared their careers could be hindered if they raised concerns. One said they had been told not to share data that made the trust look bad. Another said when they did raise concerns they were 'gaslit' and targeted by management. The report identified 'significant issues with psychological safety at every [staff] level' and noted that the fear of speaking up had worsened in the last year. It said staff identified as having the potential to disagree with management said they were deliberately ignored in meetings. A staff survey conducted for the review received 376 responses of which more than 300 were negative or very negative on the issue of speaking up. The responses often cited a 'fear of reprisals'. One said: 'There could be comeback which will affect your career in [a] negative manner.' Another said: 'I raised concerns. It put a target on my back. Management lied, gaslit me, would circumvent the issue, would dismiss my concerns.' A third said: 'I feel no one listens.' Staff complained that the executive team discouraged bad news and different opinions. The review identified a 'predominance of direct and authoritative leadership styles'. It added: 'We heard repeatedly that 'there is a parent-child dynamic in this organisation'.' It also found that 'incivility and poor behaviours appear to be pervasive' and there was a strong view that these were tolerated by leaders. The report did not give details of these behaviours. Last year the Guardian revealed that a consultant surgeon was promoted after allegedly assaulting resident doctors during surgery. Six senior women at the trust complained to the reviewers of misogyny, which was felt to be prevalent among consultants. Female staff said they faced eye rolling and other signs of dismissiveness from male colleagues when they spoke at meetings. They also faced pejorative references to sexuality when they took the lead. One woman claimed she 'experienced unwanted romantic advances and inappropriate comments, with no actions taken months after reporting this to various senior leaders.' Earlier this month the trust chief executive, George Findlay, announced his departure. Andy Heeps, the acting chief executive, said the trust accepted all the report's recommendations for improvement and its 'valuable insight into what we do well, where we are improving, and where there is clearly more to do'. He said: 'The authors recognise the scale of the task in completing such a huge trust merger during the Covid pandemic, and highlight a number of key improvements such as our big reductions in waiting lists and key service quality improvements. 'But they also draw attention to some fundamental issues which we've not yet succeeded in tackling – and all of these things need to change, and change quickly.'

'RoC's new £30 lip plumper promises filler-like results so I put it to the test'
French skincare brand, RoC, launched its new non-invasive lip plumper that promises both instant and long-term volume, so Mirror's shopping writer Grace put it to the test With lip fillers and injectables becoming less and less popular, more people are turning to non-injectable treatments that can provide effective results. Lip plumping products became a huge deal back in the 2000s, and have remained popular thanks to celebrities like Kylie Jenner and Kim Kardashian promoting the trend of fuller-looking lips. However, with many formulated with ingredients such as chili peppers, menthol and even bee venom, which results in that painful stinging sensation, they are more than likely damaging your lips over time. Luckily, French skincare brand RoC has just launched their Derm Correxion Lip Volumiser, £29.99, that promises plumped lips that stay volumised overtime, and I tested it out to see if it live up to what is promised. The Volumiser has been developed with dermatologists and plastic surgeons to be a non-invasive topical lip treatment that gives you both instant and long-term volume. Inspired by lip injections, the formula plumps and boosts the natural lip without the needles. RoC Derm Correxion Lip Volumiser review I've never been too hung up on how my lips look. They're not particularly big, but not quite small enough, in my opinion, to justify getting lip fillers. That said, I've always been intrigued by non-surgical lip plumpers as I love the idea of something temporary over anything more semi-permanent. And for me RoC's Volumiser has changed the game. I'm past the days of trying chili or venom to plump, and I love that RoC's offering is packed full of ingredients that actually benefit your lips. Featuring 10% Hyaluronic Acid Filling Spheres, this treatment boosted the volume of my lips, while keeping them hydrated and moisturised for hours. What I really love is that the Pro-Collagen Peptide works to smooth and subtly reshape the contours of your lips over time. So not only do you get an instant plumping effect, but you're also supporting longer-term improvement in volume and definition. Thanks to the cooling tip, there's a mild tingling sensation when you first apply it but nothing harsh or painful like other plumpers I've tried. It just feels like the formula is kicking into action. I also appreciate that it didn't turn my lips bright red and sore-looking, and instead just enhanced their natural colour, which aids in that fuller-looking pout. I've never tried lip fillers, and I'm not sure this can completely replace them, especially considering the plumping effect is fairly mild. But if, like me, you've always been hesitant about injectables, or you've recently had your filler dissolved and are looking for a subtle boost, this is definitely worth the investment. Overall, I love seeing a visible difference in lip plumpness just three minutes after applying. And the natural flush it brings out means I can skip lip liner and lipstick entirely. A total win. Another one of my favourite lip-boosting products is Uncensored Lip Plumping Gloss from Il Makiage, which adds a flush of colour as well as plumps. And our head of shopping, Zoe, loves Charlotte Tilbury's Lip Cheat Contour Duo, a genius double-ended pencil that's basically your shortcut to a fuller-looking pout.
