Currently listening to a fascinating talk: Health Inequalties - looking at poverty, ethnicity and how models of healthcare need to maintain and recognise the richness of all our cultures. We all are responsible for the future healthcare and advocacy of our AYA 💚UCL Rheumatology for Adolescents and Young Adults

Very emotive discussion about the state of healthcare Dr Guddi Singh. Social determinants of health;the set of systems which are behind health inequalities. "Life is harder & outcomes are worse the lower you are on the social gradient". And young people are suffering the most.

Excited to hear about the WHAM project and the "Powering Up" project- working with young people, learning how to talk to them meaningfully about health inequalities and help them to take charge of their own health and help clinicians to navigate this path: whamproject.co.uk
