@RoSPA and @WWUtilities have set up two surveys to understand what information the public find useful when it comes to carbon monoxide. The @COResearchTrust would grateful if you complete and share these amongst your network 1/2

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

@heatpolicyrich It’s like the tube for people who like to speak to strangers and make eye contact 😀

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

Please share far and wide - a fully funded PhD opportunity at @sheffhallamuni (funded by @COResearchTrust) looking at the effects of low-level CO on the developing heart. More info via the link below #research #PhD #CarbonMonoxide

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

Thanks to @LizTwistMP for so ably chairing the inquiry over many years, and to @BarrySheerman and @IloraFinlay for their input into this report and ongoing stewardship of the APPCOG.

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

I spoke at the launch of @APPCOG_UK's "Prepare, Practice, Protect" report and stressed the role of health and care workers as "the canary in the mine" when it comes to protecting the most vulnerable in society.
You can read the report below.

OUT NOW: Prepare, Practice, Protect: Improving Carbon Monoxide Safety in Health & Care Services
Our new report, chaired by @LizTwistMP, sets out how health & social care workers can protect themselves & patients from #CarbonMonoxide poisoning

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

Looking forward to the launch of the @Policy_Connect @APPCOG_UK Prepare Practice Protect report in #Parliament this afternoon. The @COResearchTrust is pleased to have sponsored the report and its launch event. Let’s hope these recommendations can be turned into action!

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

Totally agree with @ncoaa. This is why the @COResearchTrust is supporting @UniversityLeeds and @sheffhallamuni to look at the effects of CO on the heart and the cardio-vasculature. You can find out more on our website - https://t.co/Yr2CeIXKoB #research #carbonmonoxide

[National Carbon Monoxide Awareness Association @NCOAA]

Carbon monoxide can damage your heart. Love your heart.

Protect yourself from carbon monoxide exposure.

@HStockton_NEA @COResearchTrust @WWUtilities @IGEMGi @energyutilities @CadentGasLtd Thanks Helen, it was a lovely surprise! 😀

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

@peterwsmith101 @IGEMGi @energyutilities @WWUtilities @COResearchTrust Thanks Peter 😀

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

I was surprised and delighted to win the @IGEMGi and @energyutilities 2023 Leadership Award sponsored by @WWUtilities today at the #GasAwards in recognition of the work the @COResearchTrust and I do to fund and promote CO Research.
It’s been quite a day to be honest

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

@jumbomills79 @IGEMGi @energyutilities @WWUtilities @COResearchTrust Thanks mate - we’ll have a celebratory drink stateside 😀

@CopyCat_UK Not that we are old men…. 😆

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

@CopyCat_UK You’ve reminded me of the adage “A society grows great when old men plant trees in whose shade they shall never sit.”

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

The #SAMHE project is a great opportunity for school children to learn about #airquality and take those messages home to their friends and family. You can find out more on the @SAMHEProject website below.

1 in 10 people live in poor quality housing and in 2021, poor housing cost the NHS £1.4bn each year and wider society £18.5bn. With an election coming, all parties should consider this report when writing their manifestos 2/2

[Adrian McConnell @AMcConnell_CORT]

Looking forward to the launch of the @BRE_Group “Cost of Ignoring Poor Housing” report & the Healthy Homes Healthy Britain Manifesto at the @APPGHHB reception today in @UKParliament.
That poor housing & poor health are linked is well established, yet ignored by policymakers 1/2
