In what moral universe can this be the right thing to do: the lower the life expectancy of a local area in 2010-12, the greater the cuts to government funding in the subsequent years. Was this a deliberate policy to increase health inequalities?
New @marmotihe report: 3/9 English regions showed increases in inequalities in life expectancy for men NE, Yorkshire & Humber & East of England) @MichaelMarmot @UCL

A significant and powerful step to have our professional body @thecsp support equity of care to our trans colleagues and patients. This is a big step towards our collective freedom. Well done to @csplgbtqia leadership.
Following dialogue involving our LGBTQIA+ Network and Equity, Diversity and Belonging committee, the CSP has adopted our first definitive position statement on transphobia

This is deeply saddening. Another valuable member of our physio community departing @thecsp who's worked tirelessly with the DN's & other spheres to bring about change.
I've cancelled my 20+ year @thecsp membership I've spent my career working with children & will not be part of a 'union' who won't call for a ceasefire when this & worse is happening to them & who has said so little when so many physios have been killed

South Africans know what oppression and apartheid is- having lived under it and emerged on the other side. Yes we have our problems but we have Ubuntu Proudly South AfricanπΏπ¦ @shamielmanie @sumayagabriels @gitaramdharry @IntegraTherapy @shoiab1 @ThatPhysioAbu
Those who were once oppressed have stepped up to help those being oppressed. The rest of us are shamed.
