Excellent list of ways to improve the NHS from ⁦@ShaunLintern⁩.

I’d emphasise 21c public health measures to prevent disease and mobilise all-Govt approach to health: clean air, mouldy homes, smoking cessation, obesity strategy etc.

Glad to be in the audience for this - we do poorly economically when faced with global shocks because our society's immune system is compromised - health (esp mental health) a critical component.

[Lord Bethell @JimBethell]

I support "Growth", but how can we grow the economy when people are leaving the workforce because they're ill?

Good to see @OBR_UK echoing my concerns in their reply to letter about accurate accounting for the full economic costs of rises in "inactivity". 1/5

[Jo Bibby @JoBibbyTHF]

Given the current uncertainty on whether it is or isn’t being scrapped, now is the time for @theresecoffey to firmly commit to publishing the long-awaited Health Disparities White Paper.

[Food Active @food_active]

Reports suggest @10DowningStreet are considering scrapping policies designed to make products healthier & reduce #JunkFoodAds

Read our joint blog with @feedinglpool to find out why we don't think this is the answer to the #CostOfLivingCrisis

Tx to @healthfdn @IpsosMORI. Latest public views on whether government is too foccused on immediate health crisis and not enough on #prevention and long-term #health. It's not all ABCD. Much, much more inc #CostOfLivingCrisis #NHS #socialcare in the pack https://t.co/e4ktc9Xsu4

@NDGoffice We greatly appreciate the input we received from NDG on the Open Life Data Framework Consultation referenced in the report

Just finished my time at the @AgeingBlast summer school hosted by @OrielOxford @UniofOxford. Prof Lynne Cox (@OxAgeN_oxford), @DrFlyGuyNI & team put together a FANTASTIC program of speakers/CPD! And met SO many passionate #longevity ECRs 🤩! This is just the beginning 😜!

Blog | Gone for now or gone for good?

The number of older workers has not rebounded in the same way as other groups since the pandemic. This blog highlights why this is cause for concern.

[The Sir Michael Marmot Institute of Health Equity @marmotihe]

Fuel Poverty, Cold Homes and Health Inequalities webinar Thursday 1st September, 2022, 13:00-14:00 Link to register: https://t.co/0QRASCgvWU to discuss #fuelpoverty, its impact on worsening health inequalities, who is most affected and what policies should be introduced

[Lord Bethell @JimBethell]

Important piece by @SarahNev. Legacy of Covid hitting healthcare systems SO hard.
We should use this crisis to pivot from late-stage acute medicine to early stage preventative interventions.
Policy-makers shd seize the opportunity.

[Lord Bethell @JimBethell]

Such an important report. The economic costs to the taxpayer of subsidising junk food are enormous. Our NHS is straining to cope with Britain's obesity issues, our workforce bottleneck is made worse by ill-health, and the cost to welfare stacks up every year. Time for a rethink.

[Prof Scarlett McNally @scarlettmcnally]

Big new gov report:
Air #pollution can cause #dementia.
Not just exhausts. Small particles (brakes/tyre/road wear) get in via nose.
Tragic. UK cannot afford care for future 1million+
Let's do prevention:
Modal shift from car to #cycling/bus. Green spaces.

1/10.🧵Are we sleep-walking into major and permanent shifts in health and care need, and where is the preparation for that? Some, quick, disconnected, provocative thoughts...

[APPGLongevity @APPGLongevity]

Fantastic initiative which @Business4health will be very interested in!

[Michael Wood @NHSLocalGrowth]

Fantastic new Health on the High Street example from Barnsley. CDC housed within a town centre location focused on retail, leisure, food and drink. 👇 Congrats @bobkirton @jambsnell et al. "Towns need to think differently about services in their centre & embed health & wellbeing"

[Jo Bibby @JoBibbyTHF]

Can you spare 5 minutes to help on a research project about which occupations are most age friendly? I am after people to rank 10 occupations in terms of how suitable they are for older workers.
