Improving air quality requires cross-governmental action. We’re calling on key government departments to take action on tackling the top UK sources of air pollution. #CleanAirForChildHealth

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

Today we are launching a new position statement on air pollution. It highlights recent evidence on the child health impacts of indoor and outdoor air pollution, and includes specific policy recommendations for key govt departments.

Calling all community and voluntary sector organisations in Gateshead - don't miss your chance to apply for a Small Grant! 📢

@Nicol_Bradley imagine doing all the colposcopy work without this invaluable resource!

[Allison Cowling @AllisonCowling_]

Really devastated to hear this. Such an incredible charity who made the often lonely and scary world of cervical cancer/screening/colposcopy an easier, more understanding, and kinder journey.

[IAS @InstAlcStud]

£4.9 billion is spent on alcohol-related issues by @NHSEngland every year.

All of this cost is avoidable. Prevention policies would both reduce this and the excessive time our doctors and nurses spend on such issues.

Remember, again, inflation may be down, but prices are much higher than they were 3 years ago. Prices are not coming down. They are rising more slowly.

[Gateshead Council @gateshead]

💜 Colleagues, school pupils and residents joined @3dadswalking at the Angel of the North today, Day 9 of their cross-country 'Walk of Hope' for @PAPYRUS_Charity.

Those who join them on any part of the charity trek are invited to talk openly about suicide to tackle stigma.

Remember this picture every single time you hear someone in your city say "we're not Amsterdam."

This was #Amsterdam in the 1970s, via @fietsprofessor.

The cities we admire made better choices regarding cars, and are still making them today.

Better choices instead of excuses.

[Gateshead Council @gateshead]

"Suicide is not inevitable."

As the first speaker, our Director of Public Health @AliceWiseman11 provides insight into how each loss to suicide impacts loved ones and our wider communities. Attendees will take part in workshops and hear from lived experiences throughout the day.

[Gateshead Council @gateshead]

Following the workshops, we heard from Anne-Marie @samaritans and David @ifucareshare regarding the support available for those considering and affected by suicide.

We would like to thank all attendees for their contribution towards shaping a local suicide prevention strategy.

[Liz Twist MP @LizTwistMP]

We should be looking to expand resource in this field, not reduce it! The work @ifucareshare do can be life saving for so many.

I will be looking to raise this further in the need to not just support the charity, but every person who relies on their services.

[RCPCH @RCPCHtweets]

1 million children live in destitution.

1 in 5 households with children are food insecure.

Poverty is worsening health inequalities and poorer education outcomes - Sir Michael Marmot.

Government must take action and invest in our children’s futures. #RCPCH24 #ShiftTheDial

[Gateshead Council @gateshead]

To provide more detail on the current approach to suicide prevention at regional and national levels, we were joined by Catherine Richardson from @NENC_NHS and Glyn Smith from @OHID.

A workshop on the national strategy priorities will then take place with attendees.
