Public Heath Registrar - Yorkshire & Humber Deanery. #Prevention #Equality. 'There is no wealth like knowledge, no poverty like ignorance' 🌠

[Andrew Lee is heading to @andrewleedr.bsky.social @andrewleedr]

Long waiting lists, worsening public health outcomes & poor value for money from health spending. England's addiction to high cost hospital based model of care needs to change. Transitioning to a community based, prevention focused, model of care will be difficult but necessary.

[Faculty of Public Health @FPH]

In our latest #BetterHealthForAll blog, @StefanieGissing reflects on the FPH Global Health Committee guidance to improve equity on Global Health Placements uptake and support Registrars to get the best experience.

Michael wasn’t just a rock solid friend, he was an incredibly generous human to everyone he worked with. He basically invented a genre of science broadcasting: experimenting on himself, talking about his medical problems, being a curious human being not an ivory tower expert. 🧵

@tomriordan All the best, great leadership style you had Tom 👍

[Tom Riordan @tomriordan]

Some personal news. After 14 very happy years, I’ve decided the time is right to move on from a job and city that I love. I’m here until the end of 2024. More to come on what next for me then. Until then, lots to do. Thank you so much to everyone who has helped and supported me.

@AlecTinkerPH @Gem020890 @barnshospital @ANPNWardBDGH Congratulations! 🤩

Now this is being a true #RamadanAlly. I hope other NHS trusts will follow.

This is truly important and shows real thinking and consideration of what is important. Less gimicky and much more valuable than some other Ramadan ally stuff I have seen.

Thank you @NHSBartsHealth

Health is bigger than the NHS.

Up to 80% of our health is shaped by the social determinants (housing, income, environment).

Yet, the focus of this morning’s interview with SoS was services. Understandable but we must create good health as well as treat ill health.

About time

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

Smoking causes multiple harms including stillbirths, lung disease, heart disease, stroke and dementia. A quarter of cancer deaths are caused by smoking.

Most smokers regret starting.

This will prevent ill health, disability and death.

@ChristusF Strong press Christus! 👌

The key points about vaping (E-cigarettes) can be easily summarised.

If you smoke, vaping is much safer; if you don’t smoke, don’t vape; marketing vapes to children is utterly unacceptable.

I expand on these points in the article below.

Fantastic opportunity for a public health role in a provider setting.
