I wish I could say I’m surprised but the breakdown of PHE was indicative of what was to come. A huge number of bright, passionate public health minds are no longer in the national space, and with that the opportunities to take a holistic population health view

[Dave West @Davewwest]

Excl : Ministers have “effectively dismantled” England’s national public health unit less than three years after creating it.

Those criticising the move include @LordPhilofBrum @JimBethell @KateAlvanley @davidjbuck

[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.

[Association of Directors of Public Health (ADPH) @ADPHUK]

Today, we are calling on all political parties to put #PublicHealth at the ♥️ of the upcoming general election in order to prevent the ⬆️number of people living with – and dying from – preventable illness.

Who fancies a fab role in our awesome @NHS_GM Population Health team - https://t.co/xakywPxEtJ? We have 2 available! Advertised as a short FTC whilst we finish our restructure, but they are in our permanent structure too😀. @PHJobsUK @pubhealthjobsuk @gmcvo @10GMpartners

@ProfLAppleby @NCISH_UK Very pleased to here this!

[Ben Wealthy @BenWealthy1]

Majority think health inequalities have worsened since the pandemic (66%). 7 in 10 (71%) agree the government should aim to reduce health inequalities
➡️ One in ten (11%) think the government has the right policies in place to reduce health inequalities

As ex @UKHSA this is a shame to see. This is no matter to lose key partners at the table. Retreating from effective comms and engagement with the LGBTQ community negates all other great action to tackle health issues in the community that national partners have had a hand in

[Paul Brand @PaulBrandITV]

Wow this is a serious step. Terrence Higgins Trust withdraws its support from UK Health Security Agency’s approach to monkeypox, accusing UKHSA of failing gay and bi men with its approach. Has echoes of HIV/AIDS crisis in 80s.

[Tanuj Aggarwal @TansThoughts]

@AnnaStarling Always loved the ‘life is an elaborate metaphor for cricket’ one I saw some years back!

[Tanuj Aggarwal @TansThoughts]

In these moments, the work of policy makers and mental health workers is deeply humbled by the strength of those who would have every right to not want to face the world. My deepest respects to you Mike, Andy, Tim #3Dadswalking #SuicidePrevention your daughters would be so proud

[Tanuj Aggarwal @TansThoughts]

Sometimes you don’t quite realise how close to home suicide can be. A street away from me, by chance, I saw @3dadswalking setting off from Sale heading to Norfolk. I knew of this powerful story and it’s link to my town, I didn’t know I could see their house from my bedroom (1/3)

[Tanuj Aggarwal @TansThoughts]

Speaking with a family friend repping @PAPYRUS_tweets the devastation and reality of suicide reminds me of how much a community to do, showing love and support through the smallest gestures. Say hi next time you see someone bereaved cross the road, don’t walk the other way (2/3)

[Tanuj Aggarwal @TansThoughts]

(3/3) Today, on #worldsuicidepreventionday it can not be emphasised enough that it’s ok not to be ok, and the importance to reach out and seek help for yourself or for those who you care for.

(2/3) The immense responsibility of this role, in creating the first system of its kind, speaks to the heart of the issue - that nobody should die by suicide.

[UK Health Security Agency @UKHSA]

Everyone at PHE is sad to hear that our much loved colleague Sir Paul Cosford has died. Our deepest condolences to Paul’s family and many friends.

Paul was an inspiration to so many of us. A great public health professional and a lovely, warm and kind hearted man.

[UK Health Security Agency @UKHSA]

From tomorrow teachers, health and social care workers, parents and carers and anyone that works with or is regularly in contact with those under the age of 25 will be able to access our new Psychological First Aid training for children and young people https://t.co/MTCmeVzQr5
