So happy to be able to write about something I feel passionate about - inter-professional working.
When we recognise the strengths of every profession working in the perinatal period & work together, we can do so much to support the mental health of all those we care for #WMMHD
On #WMMHD24 we are delighted to share this Voices blog by @mw_mossonkelly
as she explains the importance of professional working together – #StrongerTogether

A very nuanced explanation of all the funding challenges facing CLWs.
On the PCIF: “The allocation is made on a population basis, not on the basis of need. Yet it is within our more deprived communities that health needs and health inequalities are greatest.”

Great story that shows it is not just about ‘being tough on crime’ that works, but understanding the causes, essentially a public health approach.

The speech he delivered - without notes - is as profound now as it was then.

The drugs deaths stats are heartbreaking.
➡️If you aren't serious about reducing poverty you aren't serious about reducing drugs deaths
➡️People in most deprived areas over 15 TIMES more likely to die from drugs than the least deprived
