WHAT A DAY! I've just accepted an acting consultant in public health post AND I've been sent this poster representing me for a science museum to inspire widening participation in #STEM for children in Winchester. The timing has made it all the more sweet! #LGBTinSTEM
To kick off #Pride2025 weekend I gave a teaching session on #transhealthcare in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. It was an emotional experience to reconnect w healthcare professionals, NGOs and the trans community in my birth country. Thank you @myAIDScouncil
Had the best time ever last night @kylieminogue in Liverpool.
Hours of queer joy. So much nostalgia and love in the room ๐ ๐ ๐ ๐ โค๏ธ ๐

I am really saddened by the level of vitriol and hatred being directed toward the trans community.
We are losing our common humanity. How hard is it to treat people with kindness and respect?
Trans people are human beings โ and they deserve to live in dignity.
The Prime Minister has just announced that he is abolishing NHS England. I am sure there will scope for efficiency savings by merging functions in DHSC and NHSE. But announcing this live without any warning for staff wonโt do anything to improve staff morale among NHS managers.

On 22 January, GB News presenter Josh Howie repeated a homophobic slur linking the LGBTQ+ community to paedophilia. This is offensive, wrong and unlawful.

We are pleased the Govt has increased the PH grant, acting on our concerns over the funding pressures PH teams have been under to maintain vital services

Proud of our work in Sefton on this, but still more to do to challenge and remove the stigma that unfortunately still surrounds HIV - remember U=U and there are lots of ways to prevent HIV infection so choose what's right for you!
