I don't have a wife or a daughter so it's really weird how I ended up believing all women should be treated with respect.

Read the excellent thread from @adriannakmurphy asking:
'What could we achieve if resources mobilized for #Covid19 were applied to improving access to other essential medicines?' 💊🤔👏

The resources mobilized for the COVID-19 vaccine are unprecedented. In @GlobalHealthBMJ, @LilianMbau @Karaghanson @martinmckee @ElsTorreele and I ask what we could achieve if similar resources were devoted to improving access to essential medicines. gh.bmj.com/content/6/2/e0051…

V excited to be on @CBCQuirks discussing trans men & trans women’s experiences of HIV self-testing and sexual health services.
Hope this serves as a regular reminder that it is critical to involve trans people in designing services that meet their needs.

Thank you Karen and to @NHS_SPS for the opportunity to present with @JScottUoB on this important topic. Time to revolutionise care for people who use illicit opiates in hospital (and other) settings!

Such a powerful slide @NHS_SPS
- need formal education to undo unconscious bias towards treating people as medical patients without considering the context

“It’s crucial that water for injection... is made available for the unstably housed & harm reduction messaging is tailored to speak to the everyday realities of people who prepare and inject drugs in public spaces”

Worryingly this paper by @LJMUPHI using data from @PHI_IMS indicates that the coverage of needle & syringe programmes in England has halved since the COVID-19 restrictions were introduced sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Just out from @CarePrevent! Of our 455 participants, 78% street homeless history, 64% abscess/cellulitis & 47% related hospitalisation. High hospitalisation rates for treatable & preventable conditions highlights a broken & discriminatory system. journals.plos.org/plosone/ar…

I would also add that people read @pwidpride's paper on delayed healthcare seeking and normalised pain, with interview data taken from the @CarePrevent study. The paper and our participants' words add deeper context than numbers alone could ever provide. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…
