This #ChildrensGriefAwarenessWeek, we're thinking about the importance of Sharing Stories Strengthening Hope. As @michaelrosenyes.bsky.social & our other panellists explain, stories open conversations about loss, helping bereaved young people express feelings, understand experiences & feel connected
When we are heard, and we feel that as a result we are part of something, things feel better, even if our circumstances remain challenging. Michael Rosen sharing stories about grief is also teaching about compassion and empathy and kindness. Tracey Boseley Children's Grief Awareness Week: Sharing Stories Strengthening Hope

A fairer GP funding system is essential to tackling health inequalities.

We welcome the government's review of the Carr-Hill formula — a long-overdue chance to make funding fairer and improve access for those who need it most. buff.ly/Wd7ROzh #HealthInequalities #NHS
Patients from deprived and coastal communities have been left behind by an outdated and unfair GP funding distribution system; this review of the Carr-Hill formula is a long-overdue chance to put that right.
