[Resuscitation Council UK @ResusCouncilUK]

People in deprived areas are:
- less likely to receive bystander CPR,
- less likely to access a defib,
- and less likely to survive cardiac arrest.

This isn’t chance, it’s inequality.

We’re committed to changing this, because where you live or what your background is should not determine your survival.

We've released a resource to help healthcare professionals spot jaundice in babies with dark skin tones. Together we can improve assessment of jaundice, prevent treatment delays, and tackle ethnic inequalities in healthcare.

NEW STUDY: @arclightprojec1's Dr Andrew Blaikie & colleagues highlight how racially biased medical terminology can lead to misinterpretation of infant eye test results. They propose a shift from colour to anatomy-based language that better reflects the diverse global population.

[Arclight Project @arclightprojec1]

Having a great few days at the @WorldExtremeMed conference in Edinburgh- lots of interest in the Arclight and opportunities to meet inspiring people. Come join us for the last day tomorrow…

Inequity in maternity care is still of concern across all areas of services.

@AmmaBirth share their recent report that adds to the evidence and points out that so much more needs to be done.
