Always so inspiring to hear @michaelmarmot.bsky.social talk about health inequalities, I only wish he didn’t have to or that the statistics get better

Thanks to Jacob for making the very important point that if we don’t address in inverse care law we will not be able to delivery the 10 year plan

In Birmingham today for @hsj.co.uk Reducing Health Inequalities Forum, great to see @nationalvoices.bsky.social @jacoblant.bsky.social on the panel this morning

Health charities are vital for the health infrastructure of the UK - raising awareness, aiding early diagnosis, providing long-term support, identifying the key issues facing patients and healthcare professionals, and funding life-changing research & treatments.

They help 10s of millions of people.
