Finishing off #refugeeweek with some medical students talking us through refugee health!

The UK is home to over 350,000 refugees, why not use this week to pick up some simple tips to bear in mind when supporting asylum seekers and refugees

@jonny__currie @DrDavid_Bailey @BMACymru @SamRowlands_ @JennyRathboneAM @mabonapgwynfor @ChristmasRowena @RCGPWales Thank you for having us today! It was great to be able to discuss the intersection with student action in this space and identify ways funding can support #asylumseekers and #refugees further in primary care - as always, we'd encourage GPs to check our @DOTW_UK's Safe Surgeries!

Finishing off #RefugeeWeek with a spotlight on children

📢 Did you know nearly half of those forced to flee are under 18?

👉 This is why child health is a key focus of refugee health care, particularly safe guarding unaccompanied minors

Shining a light on the huge burden of #mentalhealth challenges faced by refugees this week and always 👇

We are disappointed to say the least but this fight isn't over.

We need #saferoutes not deportations

🚨 BREAKING: This Government's cruel Rwanda Bill has just passed

Today will forever leave a stain on the UK’s moral reputation.

The UK has an obligation to provide safety to refugees. It's now vital that flights to Rwanda do not leave the tarmac.

Throwback to when some of our members helped at the ethnic minorities health fair at the City Hall last month!

It was great to meet lots of organisations supporting ethnic minorities! We also enjoyed helping out with @muslimdoccymru’s heath checks 🩺
