Really powerful keynote from @health_equals supporter @TrussellUK @helen_barnard on hunger, homes and health - the foundations of thriving communities. What a call to arms for cross government action on the building blocks of health #MakeHealthEqual #HEN2024

Thanks for the write up of the ICS health inequalities @NHSConfed Expo session @MedicalTechMag - “Strong leadership needed to tackle healthcare inequalities in ICSs” medicaldevice-network.com/ne…

Strong leadership needed to tackle healthcare inequalities in ICSs

The NHS Confederation recently published research from a survey that functions as a temperature check on ICSs and the areas they are finding most challenging.

Taking a moment today to reflect on the life and legacy of @KrisPoB, co-founder of @CoppaFeelPeople . She was an inspiring, vivacious communicator & change maker, reminding us all to check our chests and also to grab life by the 🍒s. Thanks, Kris - your impact will live on.

Brilliant to hear @sarahjwalter discuss the recent @NHSConfed work on health inequalities at #RCPMed24. She says: “clearly things like elective recovery are important. But the health system won’t recover without addressing widening health inequalities in our country”.

Wes Streeting talking sense at @RCPhysicians Medicine 24: “a serious plan to cut sick notes would be to address sickness in our society… this requires a plan on the wider determinants of ill health.” #RCM24
