Brilliant #Pharmacy SAHM event in Leicester tonight

It was a privilege to hear the personal stories of all the speakers

Loved hearing @ptocgroup.bsky.social member, Neelam Sharma, perform her S Asian inspired poetry

It's South Asian Heritage Month

The theme for 2025 is #RootsToRoutes

We stand on the shoulders of giants and honour those who came before us because they are the reason we are able to look out and see all the possibilities now open to us

#SAHM2025 #SouthAsianHeritageMonth

We will be co-hosting this event for #IWD25

If you work in #Pharmacy then you're welcome to come along and find out more about how to advocate for yourself

We hope to see you later

They walk among us

Make this week count!

Start thinking about an inclusive action you can take this week...then make it happen

#MondayMotivation #ActionsNotJustWords #inclusion

Health is a window through which we can view the workings of society.

A reminder in this @bmj.com article of the impact structural racism has on health and on the social determinants of health.

Day 4 REW Challenge: Understand what Code Switching is

Code switching can involve changing your language, accent, or mannerisms; putting on a facade to hide your true self. It's about changing behaviours, appearance & speech to conform and fit in with others

#EveryActionCounts #PharmSky #Pharmacy

Day3 REW challenge: Understand the term "Inclusive Language"

This is a way in which we speak or write to avoid words & phrases that could be harmful/exclude people. It's a way to show respect & sensitivity to people's differences
