Last month our @Associates_NCCH hosted two roundtable discussions exploring The Place of Creativity in Public Health: Perspectives from Directors of Public Health. Catch the recording, & the fantastic roundtable opening performance by Bollyqueer. https://t.co/bIenknTYmy

For black history month, I wrote this piece for the FPH blog about inequalities in maternal health outcomes. There’s so much great work going on (shout out here to my midwifery and obstetric/neonatal colleagues) but we still have a long way to go together.

A huge thank you to the Directors of Public Health who joined for our panel today, and our enthusiastic audience. Here's hoping there will be many more discussions about Creative Public Health going forward. #CreativeHealth #PublicHealth @TheNCCH @chwa

Had a fabulous time being on the first panel at this event yesterday. Thanks so much to Jane and the team from NCCH for organising and inviting me! And thanks to Bollyqueer who opened the event with an incredible and joyful dance performance

We were delighted to welcome OH Laura French back to Hymers this week. Laura spoke to our aspiring medics about medical ethics, she gave an insight in to her career post Hymers and shared some valuable advice and words with the students. Thanks @FrenchieDowling for your support.

Good sexual and reproductive health care needs to work for everyone, and that means making sure no one gets forgotten in the data. For this pride month blog, my SRH SIG colleagues and I discuss some of the challenges for the trans community in HIV prevention and care

If you’re aged 40-74 and don’t have a pre existing health condition, you are entitled to a free general health check from the NHS every five years. If you think you’re eligible but haven’t had an invite, why not check with your Gp surgery?

#HIV can affect anyone. That’s why it’s a good idea to test at least once a year. Drop into one of the local @weRTradeHealth testing sessions during #February. For further info go to: https://t.co/dgu261S24m #HIVTestingWeek #Testingworkstelleveryone #endthestigma #ITest

🕒 "How do I find the time to get tested?" 🕒 Many of us have really busy lives and even thinking about adding something else in can be too much. Read Jason's story about finding the time to test for HIV, which includes different ways to get tested ⬇️ https://t.co/PKwdCbCugr

It’s National HIV testing week! If you’re 16 years old or over and live in England you can order a free HIV test online during this week. Getting diagnosed means you can start treatment, stay healthy and avoid passing on the infection. I wrote a blog about it here👇🏻

Had an absolutely incredible time playing Mahler 2 with the @HallamSinfonia @SheffieldPhil and other friends this evening. Thank you to the audience for an amazing reception, and thank you to @george_conducts for steering us through.🎻🎻❤️

So proud that little French is a finalist in a category at the women in pensions awards tonight. Doubly excited that one of our fave comedians @tiffstevenson turns out to be presenting. Fingers crossed! 🤩🤩

We recently heard from Laura French who studied at Hymers College from 1994 to 2004. https://t.co/dusnK4ayuJ

If you haven’t seen this, do catch it on iplayer. They are all amazing but especially great to see a viola player in the final: The amazing Jaren Ziegler playing William Walton’s viola concerto. 🎻 ❤️ @SheffViolaEns

What’s better than a concert programme featuring Beethoven? An ALL Beethoven programme of course! Really excited for this concert next weekend. Tickets via the link in the quoted tweet/the Hallam Sinfonia website. 🎶

Tell me you don’t understand the wider determinants of health, without telling me you don’t understand the wider determinants of health….🤦🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Access to safe and legal termination of pregnancy is an essential part of reproductive health care and a staple of the human right to bodily autonomy. This ruling will cost lives.

Essentials of life include whatever is necessary to take your place in public without shame. Having agency, a sense of self-worth, and participating in networks of family and friends. Lack of income threatens these and damages health.

Hi @British_Airways. I need to change the name on my account so I can get my avios, but webform not working for me and no answer on phone. Any email alternative? Thanks.

Such sad news, and a huge loss to global public health. One of my heroes. The book “Mountains beyond Mountains” about his life and work inspired me to go into public health and I always recommend it to students as an essential read.
