Turning to the future we discussed preparedness for the next pandemic and the threat of #antimicrobialresistance.

We covered worsening #HealthInequalities and recent work by my LCP colleague Jonathan Pearson-Stuttard showing a 27 year gap between best and worst life expectancy.

2022 was tough. But it ends on a high - UK policy makers, commissioners & funders are waking up to understand that #creativity & #culture are essential components of a decent life for EVERYONE. And a life without creativity is likely to be #unhealthy

One of the best tools we have to address #exclusion #ChronicIllness & #HealthInequalities is #art

Happy New Year to all - warm wishes for a fabulous, cheerful & safe 2023

A sobering presentation @DrSarahEJackson@twitter.com Confirms what we see in practice-why the #HardToReach narrative often used in healthcare is likely to increase existing #HealthInequalities A powerful illustration of #InverseCareLaw applied to #HarmReduction #SmokingCessation #ECigSummit

RT @DrSarahEJackson@twitter.com

For the most disadvantaged groups, smoking is seen as lower priority and they are given fewer opportunities to stop.

A good reminder to be careful with language in Public Health. The word “lifestyle” is used to blame somebody for the circumstances and environment in which their health is created. In my experience it’s also often othering - criticising marginalised groups while pretending to have their best interests at heart

The lazy language of ‘lifestyles’
