An absolute pleasure joining @Pukkaherbs as they launched their “Rainbow paper” at parliament. It reiterates the benefits of herbs/ spices and asks government to -include herbs in the nutrition guidelines, -invest in herbal research and
-include this evidence in the curriculum.

[Primary Care Research Centre @UoS_PrimaryCare]

Some of our PhD students attended the launch of the “Spice up your life”report in parliament yesterday. @Imacul8e's PhD is contributing to some of the policy recommendations, with a focus on improving self-management of type 2 diabetes in patients of African origin in the UK.

With the new health surcharge, visa costs/ conditions, it’s becoming impossible to legally be in the UK. It’s definitely a time to reevaluate one’s life choices 📌

Looking forward to discussing this new framework which should support the delivery of quality care of allergy in the community and help deliver cross system working and communication.

Jokes aside: there is still a lot of learning and unlearning around the vast forms of malnutrition.

[The New York Times @nytimes]

In Uganda, excess fat is often a sign of wealth and can help get a bank loan, a new study found. The country is one of the poorest nations, and nearly half the population eats fewer calories than they need each day. https://t.co/7MWi14QGmf
