So pleased our report is out after 18 months+ planning, research, data analysis, working with experts and many, many drafts!

“We spend below average on our health service compared to our peers, so it’s not surprising that we have fewer hospital beds, Drs, nurses, MRI/CT scanners. To a certain extent, you get what you pay for.”

Great to work with @KatherineKorner @maizie333 and @petticrewmark to design and run this action research through which we have developed, tested and improved a set of practical materials for local public health teams to run briefing sessions on Commercial Determinants of Health
Proud to endorse a new set of materials for #PublicHealth professionals to introduce colleagues to the issues around commercial determinants of health.
Congratulations @PH__Anna, @KatherineKorner, @maisie333 & @petticrewmark who developed the materials.

[1/2] The #Gvt has announced plans to extend the current water fluoridation scheme in the North East to reach an extra 1.6m people.
Water fluoridation is the single most effective #PublicHealth measure for ⬇️tooth decay - the leading cause of 🏥admissions for 5-9 yr olds.
If UBI logically follows in a world where AI replaces knowledge working and creativity, when does society flip the switch? You'd think "when 1% own 59%" would be a signal, but here we are. UBI can't be the answer. It might make sense in a vacuum, but the 1% will always want 60%
Incredibly proud of the work that has gone into this by the team and of the impact it will have for generations
