Many plans to support #NHS #Workforce with #CostOfLivingCrises but important to offer a highly effective intervention to support staff who smoke. We know 60% of smokers report wanting to quit #smoking but don’t know how or don’t believe they can #HealthAtWork #HealthInequality

This is a really interesting series on BBC Sounds about life changing medical diagnoses. This one about endometriosis, in particular though, had me absolutely RAGING. I know from personal experience how hit and miss women’s healthcare can be but I never fail to be shocked by the stories of other women’s experiences. It’s not good enough.
