@P_H_S_Official Is prostate cancer actually different or just that it's not getting diagnosed in more deprived populations? Life expectancy is younger and men die from something else before getting their prostate cancer diagnosed?

[Elspeth Strang @ElspethStrang]

Great to have @neilcgray visit us at Keppoch Medical Practice yesterday, we discussed the challenges of General Practice at the Deep End, importance of Primary Care in tackling health inequalities and opportunities with the Inclusion Health Action in General Practice project.

‘women living in the most deprived parts of Scotland tend to remain in good health only until the age of 47 and just under 45 for men, compared to 72 and 71 respectively for those in the most affluent areas’

“If we want to arrest the decline in life expectancy, tackling inequality is the best place to start.”

⁦@HMcArdleHT⁩ hits the nail on the head here.

Very deep poverty has steadily increased here since late 90s.

Poverty must fall to fix this. https://t.co/w0V7nMv7n3

“Health leaders in Glasgow are under pressure to reverse plans that would see the number of community links practitioner (CLP) posts slashed from nearly 70 full-time roles to 42 in 2024.”
