@CrossCountryUK I'm on the 10:38 from Oxford to Bham, and it's madness- only 4 carriages. Your amazing train manager is doing all she can to apologise & explain, but you've put her in a terrible position & caused your customers severe discomfort. Please make your service better.

[Becky Elliott @BeckyElliott90]

Please do join us in calling on the next Government to prioritise heart health.

[BHF Policy @BHFpolicy]

Have you spotted one of our bus shelters ads this week?

The UK is in the grip of a heart care crisis so we want heart disease to be a political priority this General Election.

Deeply frustrating news.

If true, all parties must commit to reintroducing the Tobacco and Vapes Bill as a priority for a new Government. We can't lose the hope of a Smokefree Generation and the incredible health gains it would bring. https://t.co/wMajqa9e7H

Please join us in calling for CVD to be a national health priority.

We need your help to drive bold action!

Today is a huge policy deal!

Bold public health legislation to protect future generations from the harm of tobacco is on the table. 📃

The public, retailers, and health experts all support this massive step towards a #SmokefreeFuture.

We urge all MPs to show their support, too

[BHF Policy @BHFpolicy]

📢@TheBHF are pleased to have joined with other leading health organisations to support this joint letter in the Telegraph today ✍️

We urge all MPs to support the Tobacco and Vapes Bill today and help to secure a #SmokefreeFuture

[Becky Elliott @BeckyElliott90]

A hugely important conversation and exploration of these worrying trends. We need bold action to address our cardiovascular care crisis and ensure that we can all live a healthy life for as long as possible. ❤️

[BHF Policy @BHFpolicy]

ICYMI: new analysis shows that early deaths from cardiovascular disease in England are at their highest in 14 years💔

Our Chief Exec @iCharmaine spoke to @TherealNihal on @bbc5live earlier this week about this worrying trend.

[Charles Tallack @CharlesTTHF]

A common claim within health policy circles is that only 10-20% of our health is down to healthcare. Where does this claim come from, and how should we interpret it? And is the claim an answer to a useful question? A short thread and a short piece.🧵

More excellent news on the SDIL: researchers found an association between the sugar tax and improved dental health in children. Good for their health, education and overall wellbeing.

[Dr Nina Rogers @Nina_Tr_Rogers]

📢 Nearly 2 years after the UK Soft Drink Industry Levy (Sugar Tax) came into force, we find a 12% relative reduction in NHS hospital admissions for tooth extraction in children aged 0-18 years. https://t.co/YYJBe50ll0

Visit us on Stand 115 at #Lab23 to hear about the crisis we're facing in heart care & how to stop it in its tracks.

We're urging @UKLabour to commit to:
🛡Better prevent heart attack & stroke
🎯Prioritise NHS heart care
🔬Supercharge research to find future cures

[Becky Elliott @BeckyElliott90]

A very important move for health today- including heart health. Smoking is still a leading cause of heart and circulatory deaths.💔
Good to see that there has been overwhelming support for bold public health action- an indication we can go further elsewhere!

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

Smoking causes multiple harms including stillbirths, lung disease, heart disease, stroke and dementia. A quarter of cancer deaths are caused by smoking.

Most smokers regret starting.

This will prevent ill health, disability and death.

[BHF Policy @BHFpolicy]

We're exhibiting at #CPC23 for the next few days hoping to speak to as many MPs & Ministers about the crisis in heart care.

Be sure to drop by stand 424 to hear how #HeartsNeedMore and see if you can beat the clock to find the right solutions to stop this crisis in its tracks🧩
