Why, in this day and age, are a third of children overweight when they leave primary school? And why does this rise to nearly half in the poorest area? A deep dive into the obesity crisis via the borough of Knowsley. With @HannahAlOthman ⬇️ thetimes.co.uk/article/c3242e…
@DrSarahClarke @jackiebmsp @BellRibeiroAddy @DrPhilBanfield @denis_campbell @UKLabour @wesstreeting RCP representatives have attended the @LibDems, @Conservatives and @UKLabour party conferences, promoting the key healthcare policies we want to see in action. Learn more about the RCP's policy and campaign priorities 2023-2026: ow.ly/Lu6t50PVJNV
"Staff have been working incredibly hard for a long time. Improving working conditions to improve the retention of our existing workforce, alongside long-term workforce expansion, will be key.” @DrSarahClarke 3/3
Our academic vice president, @RArasaradnam, is attending the @LibDems party conference today to discuss the importance of reducing health inequalities, investing in the medical workforce, addressing climate change and strengthening the strategy for net zero.
"The time for promises and postponements has passed. We have record-breaking waiting lists, patient care targets missed and unprecedented demand for services." Read as @DrSarahClarke asks the crucial question: Where is the NHS workforce plan? 👇newstatesman.com/spotlight/heal…
We're looking for a new public affairs manager at @RCPhysicians! Come and join our growing policy and campaigns team and work on influencing campaigns across health inequalities, the NHS workforce, sustainability and more > w4mpjobs.org/JobDetails.asp…
We’re pleased @CommonsHealth inquiry will cover health inequalities alongside obesity, smoking and prevention of major conditions. The RCP submitted evidence calling for health inequalities and the determinants of health to be considered because #EverythingAffectsHealth.

"Research should represent a diverse range of people and experiences" 🫂📝 In our latest blog, PhD researcher @hannahkatelew reflects on the need for cultural inclusivity in #eatingdisorder interventions. 👉 buff.ly/3Zqgrba #eatingdisordersAwarenessWeek #EDAW2023
Positive to see @Smyth_Chris's scoop in @thetimes that forthcoming @NHSEngland long-term workforce plan seeks to be bold in addressing shortages of staff in key specialities and in enabling new opportunities to expand the talent pool thetimes.co.uk/article/nhs-wo…
Story in The Times is long overdue. The NHS has been waiting for a new workforce strategy for at least four years, if not a decade. The chancellor really hasn’t got much choice. Vacancy rates, agency costs, waiting lists & strikes means he must act. Let’s hope so #globalshortage
If you work in the @NHS and are willing to share more views, the @FT wants to hear from you about its survival survey.ft.com/jfe/form/SV_cu…
Emissions of toxic #AirPollution from wood burning in UK homes has more than doubled in the past decade. A new report shows that solid fuel burning in homes is the single biggest source of PM2.5 pollution 👉 bit.ly/3XuC1cZ #AirQuality

"As we move toward @TheBMA ballot on industrial action closing, we have today as a physician community issued our support to all our members whatever decision they make.” Read our statement of support here: rcp.ac.uk/news/statement…
Good to see focus on prevention - important to note prevention is bigger than "healthcare" and services. This inquiry represents an opportunity for the Committee to consider the social determinants of health.

Gutting. Again. But Kane. Rashford. Southgate. Grealish. Great non-toxic role models at a time when they're much needed.
"The RCP & members of the #InequalitiesInHealthAlliance are urging the govt to commit to a cross-govt strategy to reduce health inequalities that considers the role of every dept & every policy lever." writes @DrSarahClarke in a letter to the @thetimes: thetimes.co.uk/article/argume…
🧵'If you look at a map of child mortality in the 1850s, and mortality during Covid, they are almost the same. This suggests we have failed to understand the drivers in ill-health and tackle them.' Powerful point from @CMO_England speaking at #TCPAAnnualConference [1/2]
The 12, 78 & 45 bus routes have been saved! Well done to everyone in #Camberwell & #Peckham that campaigned so hard to save our buses. And thank you @SadiqKhan for making it happen.

This degree of media attention on parliamentary ping-pong for a Bill is unusual. So important to stress that it is a standard, normal part of the legislative scrutiny process. What is unusual (historically, tho not in recent years) is the Govt's intransigent attitude to amdts.

Tomorrow I am running the London Marathon. I am raising money for the @NSPCC. In memory of my aunt Sally who died earlier this month. When my Mother died, my aunt Sally protected me. She was there when I needed her. My first day at big school. When things went wrong. Everyone…
Most people on PIP for their mental health already use the money to try to stay well - whether paying for therapy or just being able to get out more - telling them to go to DWP-prescribed treatment (which they should already be getting through the NHS) instead is a terrible idea
The PM is now pushing ahead with a consultation on Personal Independence Payments that was almost published previously (but was considered too controversial). It has some pretty radical ideas including replacing cash payments with access to treatment 1/
The Prime Minister’s attempt to reframe economic inactivity around shirkers is wrong - mental health distress is real, and very large majority of those inactive have 3/4/5 health conditions simultaneously
Well done to House of Commons for voting for the Tobacco and Vapes Bill at Second Reading. Still lots of steps to get though before this can become law, so important to keep explaining why this is a once in a generation opportunity to protect young people from addiction & harm
@VictoriaAtkins @NHSuk A 12 month reprieve while an unnecessary review happens is NOT ‘maintaining’ a vital service long-term. Try again!
The withdrawal of funding from @NHSPracHealth is deeply concerning. We're calling for funding to be retained so that doctors are not left without support. bma.org.uk/bma-media-cent…
Dear @DHSCgovuk & @NHSEngland, Please find attached a letter for @VictoriaAtkins & @AmandaPritchard signed by over 15,000 NHS members of staff. We protest in the strongest terms your abrupt decision to cut the mental health support that @NHSPracHealth provides to staff. 1/3
Shit life syndrome is by far the biggest determinant of ill-health. We all need decent jobs, diets, a living income, green space, shelter, security, friends, clean air, purpose & kindness. If we focus on these, the economy & NHS will thrive. If we don't, chronic illness will win
Useful input from @NAOorguk on NHS workforce plan "Workforce modelling is highly unlikely to produce a single 'correct' answer on how many health professionals will be needed in future. In this context, modelling is ... a tool for beginning a conversation" 1/
Improvements are needed in NHS England's modelling for the Long Term Workforce Plan. Weaknesses include ⬇️ • a complex design • manual adjustments, increasing the risk of errors • modelling outputs that couldn't be fully replicated 🧵 1/5
I have never met anyone on sickness benefits for their #mentalhealth with mild to moderate conditions. Accessing sickness benefits is notoriously difficult and for mental illness doubly hard. The issues related to increased prevalence should be governments focus. 🙄
I'm pleased that we've got to the end of the day having established that it is racist to say racist things. It was touch and go there for a while.
As members of the Inequalities in Health Alliance convened by the @RCPhysicians, we welcome the spotlight their latest consultant census puts on the impact of the social determinants of health. Our members know #EverythingAffectsHealth and want to see national government action.
Worrying new report from @RCPhysicians demonstrating the impact of health inequalities on increasing levels of healthcare demand. As a member of the Inequalities in Health Alliance, we're calling for a cross-government strategy to address the wider determinants of health.
Illness caused by socio-economic factors such as poor housing, air quality and lack of access to healthy food is significantly contributing to the workload of doctors in the UK. Read the full news story 👇 rcplondon.ac.uk/news/census-re… #EverythingAffectsHealth
The RCP is calling on @RishiSunak to bring forward the Tobacco and Vapes Bill to parliament. A new poll has found that 71% of the public support the PM’s goal to create a smokefree generation. See ASH's parliamentary briefing below 👇 #smokefreegeneration
