...and is an excellent reminder that Britain's stubbornly high income & productivity gaps & now RISING child poverty gaps had no chance of narrowing via small pots of cash allocated by competitive bidding.

I’ve previously used ‘postcode lottery’ to talk about the UK’s vast regional inequalities – from incomes to productivity. But this thoughtful paper by @GraceRedhead & @r_j_lynch traces the history of the term – from narrower use in mid-1990s on unfair access to the NHS to now...

MURAL COMPLETE! 🥳🙌🏾
Huge thanks to muralist Michele Curtis from @IcncBlkBritons, and @ImperialCharity for making this possible.
This mural reminds us of the work of so many African Women who contributed to the National Health Service - go see it at Charing Cross Hospital!

How do people with sickle cell disease navigate life, work & the NHS? How can they communicate the pain of an invisible illness to doctors, colleagues & family?

This should have never happened in this day and age. I am shocked and angry that this can still happen in a hospital in London in 2019. How embarrassing for medical staff and the hospital to admit ignorance about Sickle Cell Disease and lack of care. Shame on you all!
