The findings aren’t surprising. The solutions are out there. We need radical leadership, collaborations and partnerships to make this work for our children and young people. n8research.org.uk/research-f… We also need a trained workforce that has the skills to work across our system.

‘We are all connected’ and what happens in our immediate community or thousands of miles away - in some way happens to all of us - that is a responsibility we all share Luke 10:29-37 . Thank you @bthftSPaRCTeam Stephen Lees for your compassion and spiritual wisdom @BTHFT
“I can’t force peace upon the world,but I can become a force of peace because sometimes all it takes is a single candle lit in the darkness to start a movement” We paused for Peace @BTHFT to reflect and connect through our humanity.Thank you @BiBresearch for joining us 🙏

Young children have 6-8 coughs/colds a year 🤧
A cough can last 2-3 weeks
No wonder it often feels they are ill all the time!
It gets easier as they get older.

Prevention certainly better than cure Sam! Here’s a really important study to assess the effect of a single injection in protecting babies under 12 months from serious illness due to RSV (the most common cause of bronchiolitis causing many hospital admissions in the winter). 👇🏽
Really excited that we are looking to the future in preventing RSV admissions. First recruit locally yesterday. Hope you might mention this to families you see @ma1hew - great new parent video on the Harmonie site rsvharmoniestudy.com/en-gb - just 4-5 mins. Please retweet. #harmonie
