🦋 Hello! 👋🏽 grey day here in Sheffield- pic from a couple of weeks ago. I’m here on Bluesky for conversation & knowledge exchange on health, esp primary care, public health with transport lens & physical activity 🧵 1/

I spoke to @skynewsrss.bsky.social this morning

Raising expectations without any support

GP online access is a good thing but it needs extra GPs & resources

The 8am rush may reduce but there are no more appts or Hp time to offer, in fact less as a online forms are dealt with

Safety vital

✨ Happy #NationalPoetryDay !

Back in May I spoke to Tara for the ever-excellent @bedsidereading.bsky.social sharing a poem & thoughts on May Day by fabulous Jackie Kay
Lots of other short poetry episodes, or come back for latest BRP season with @johnharris1969.bsky.social
Maybe I’m amazed ✨

Do you feel happier after a walk? 🚶 In a new poll for #InternationalWalkToSchoolMonth parents told us they feel happier after going for a walk with their child, but they're put off walking to school by too much traffic 🚦

More insights: https://bit.ly/3VKEfGW

A DEFRA report suggests London is now finally compliant with UK legal #AirPollution limits for nitrogen dioxide (NO2).

DEFRA reports that last year, London complied with the UK’s annual average legal limit of 40ug/m3 for NO2, 15 years after it should have.
