Interesting history about Cheshire and I didn't know that ' the importance of salt to Cheshire is shown in the names of towns like Northwich and Middlewich, where the 'wich' suffix means salt-making town, derived from Old English.' bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Femtech can help women understand their own bodies. More importantly, it has the potential to help deliver quality care, but it has to be designed with women's needs and diversity in mind! Please do read our blog! @daniellejeffries The King's Fund #healthequity #womenshealth

There is definitely a need for better regulation. Research on Black women's reproductive health also needs to consider such social practises #healthequity morhttps://www.nbcnews.com/news/nbcblk/synthetic-hair-carcinogens-lead-braids-extensions-black-women-rcna194213

Today marks 93 months since 72 loved ones were taken from us. As we approach the 8 year anniversary, likely the last one where the Tower remains, it will become more important than ever to ensure Grenfell is not forgotten, and those responsible are held to account 💚

Looking forward to the discussions and debates on tackling ethnic health inequalities and improving Black people's health and well being and access to culturally competent care.

@ProfMargaretIKpoh's talk - 1. Trust is the bedrock of Dr / patient relationship. 2.Trust can be lost instantly. Health care needs to listen to understand. 3. Make efforts to build trust with minority patients & their communities #Blackhealthequity

It's good to see discussions on Black health inequities being tied to the 10 year plan and not just practice/ delivery. Qs - what do changes to NHS structures & ICBs mean for prioritising and tackling ethnic health inequities at national and local level?

A powerful and emotional key note from Bola Owolabi at the cahn Black health inequalities summit. She laid out the progress so far on creating health equity. And a call to continue to do the work in spite of the current challenges - very energising and inspiring!

Asylum Matters 🧡 (@asylummatters) 's Twitter Profile Photo

There's a post going round here claiming people seeking asylum are 'relaxing by the pool' in taxpayer funded hotels. That's quite clearly nonsense, but since these sorts of lies keep coming up, perhaps it's worth talking about what life is actually like in these hotels. 🧵 👇

I’m SICK of saying it, but I’ll say it again. Asylum seekers can’t claim benefits. You need an NI number to do that. Asylum seekers aren’t staying in 5* hotels. Asylum seekers get £49.18p a week to live on. Could YOU live on that? NOPE. So stop pretending they’re living it large.

It's estimated that 20-40% of the population live with multiple long-term conditions – a number set to grow. To cope with this, it’s vital that clinical care is co-ordinated to give people with multiple conditions the support they need. Find out more: kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…
