Empowering people in the fight against fake medicines. They are everyone's business, make it yours too! Founded @ucl by @OksanaPyzikUCL & @FightTheFakes partner
This year, the #FTF Week theme is keeping patients safe by securing the global supply chain🌍
Watch our multi-lingual video below to learn more and let's Fight the Fakes! 💊 #FightTheFakes
A new @LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor survey reveals 28% of respondents knowingly purchased weight-loss jabs #GLP1s from unlicensed sellers on social media and the dark web. This is a clear regulatory failure. It’s time to hold tech platforms accountable for the sale of #fakemeds.
Blown away by how a small team of public health experts & epidemiologists at @Yale is doing what *entire governments* won’t: helping bring Ukraine’s stolen children home. #PublicHealth is more than disease surveillance—it’s applying those skills for resistance, justice, and accountability in the face of atrocity. Where is the rest of our academic & research community in supporting Ukraine? We don’t have to be bystanders in war - as shown by the inspiring leadership of @nattyray11 at @HRL_YaleSPH, using open-source intelligence, forensic analysis & satellite imagery to: – Track abducted 🇺🇦 children – Map attacks on hospitals & infrastructure – Issue early warnings to prevent atrocities – Build legal cases for accountability
This is what modern public health looks like in wartime. 🛑 Support their mission & help bring Ukrainian children home: https://t.co/VBOAhMZrfW

One of the things we do together at PharmAlliance is fund CDT students - where there are students at each partner site working on the same project together. It's a great way to facilitate long-term collaborations
#PAWeek25@School_Pharmacy@UCLLifeSciences@PhrmAlliance
By using virtual reality and AI we can achieve so much more in our online teaching - some nice examples from Steve Hilton about implementing these approaches in undergraduate and outreach programmes
