Today's only political news: Health Equals launches Parliamentary Champions Network! Thanks so much to all the MPs who committed today to make health equal, and the wonderful Health Equals coalition members, supporters and families who joined us in parliament today.

Hello from Westminster! 👋

We've been at the Houses of Parliament today to launch the Health Equals Parliamentary Champions Network – a new network of MPs who will campaign alongside us to #MakeHealthEqual.

Here's why it's important. 🧵

Really powerful keynote from @health_equals supporter @TrussellUK @helen_barnard on hunger, homes and health - the foundations of thriving communities. What a call to arms for cross government action on the building blocks of health #MakeHealthEqual #HEN2024

[Ruth Lowe @RuthMLowe]

Great to be in the packed room today for the Institute of Health Equity’s Health Equity conference with @MichaelMarmot opening. Today’s theme is housing - a crucial building block of health #HEN2024

Meet Louis and Lorcan.

The differences in their housing, air quality, and access to good food could drastically impact their lives.

“If you only do it because you are told to, you will do it badly – so let’s persuade you.”

Building leadership commitment to tackling health inequalities is key to sustained action (1/4)

[Manal Sadik @manal_sadik]

Tackling health inequalities, leadership, governance, relationships and policy all required for sustainable change #EQW2024

@jburnmurdoch @Bridget_Gorham - shocking (?) - definitely stark - male/female divide

[Ruth Lowe @RuthMLowe]

Taking a moment today to reflect on the life and legacy of @KrisPoB, co-founder of @CoppaFeelPeople . She was an inspiring, vivacious communicator & change maker, reminding us all to check our chests and also to grab life by the 🍒s. Thanks, Kris - your impact will live on.

@ptsafetylearn @NHSConfed Thanks for adding our toolkit to the hub! Happy to discuss if you have any questions or feedback.
