Scientists from our Research Unit at @KingsCollegeLon have developed an AI model that can predict if triple negative breast cancer will spread.
They hope that one day this could help with treatment planning.
Thanks to funding support from @asda.

Our charity ambassador Andy had the pleasure of meeting lots of great guys and girls this week during #HITHHOnSite, including Dean who was proud to talk openly about #mentalhealth and the importance of awareness within construction companies.

Employers: Do you train workers how to use #PPE e.g. how to remove gloves without contaminating skin? Do you explain why it is needed, when to use it, and its limitations?
If your risk assessment shows that PPE is needed for a task, it should always be used, even for quick jobs.

Covid forced a step change in deployment of new tech and ways of working. This opens up new opportunities for #workers in the #BuiltEnvironment to access health services many take for granted. Help us break the cycle, donate or contact us to get involved. webuildthefuture.org/donate/

Amongst the construction workforce in particular, the drivers for #ConstructionHealthInequality are well understood. The factors that drive poor #MentalHealth also create an environment where accessing health advice and support is difficult.

Accessing support for mental health is just as important as addressing chronic physical health conditions and the evidence from multiple sources supports our view that #ConstructionHealthInequality is a reality that needs to be addressed.

Rather than emergencies or injuries, workers presented common conditions usually suited for assessment by primary #healthcare providers. Most of these would have gone unaddressed without access to the site surgery due to difficulties accessing #HealthAdvice.
