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@UCLbit.ly/LEGAP
>250 health workers allied to medicine have lost their lives in Gaza in the past 6 months
We are holding a vigil in their remembrance on Friday 19 April outside 10 Downing Street at 6pm GMT. This will be a space for mourning & allyship.
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 csp.org.uk/news/2024-04-11-tβ¦

I've joined with @WeAHPs colleagues in #solidarityfastforgaza to recognise the unecessary need for the death of our physio colleagues who have lost their lives in the ongoing genocide & others whose lives are at risk daily.
#ceasefireNowPermanently
Join us THIS FRIDAY in a solidarity fast for health workers in Gaza. We have lost too many colleagues and hundreds continue to suffer
We will continue to speak up & stand together for humanity!

Happening outside @thecsp right NOW in London!
Join us in our call to all health unions to stand up for humanity & apply pressure to governments to stop the murder of innocent health workers.
>600 health workers murdered in Gaza. Enough was 6 months ago
#solidarityfastforgaza
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 x.com/jamesdenselow/status/1β¦
