As we come into the next election, I hope all politicians will be planning and prioritising a more #equalhealthforall approach. To address the unfair postcode lottery 👏👏 @lokiscottishrap

[Go Radio @thisisgoradio]

"It's unspeakably unfair and unjust that a little baby from one postcode gets to live 16 years longer than another baby from another postcode.

"It really falls on political leaders to step up to the plate."

Scottish social commentator and writer @lokiscottishrap is backing a campaign to #MakeHealthEqual.

He spoke to us about the campaign, the postcode lottery regarding life expectancy in the UK, and the impact improvements in housing, income and clean air can have for public health.

📢 Did you know the @NHSHealthyStart allowance covers less than 60% of the weekly #formula cost for a four month-old baby?

This policy failure is leaving families struggling to provide babies with vital nutrients in their early months of life.

📈The value of the Healthy Start scheme needs to increase by 20 per cent to compensate for increases in the cost of food, new LGA analysis has found.

This makes me so sad, having previously worked in an A+E department I know the toll this takes on staff. Is it any wonder they are struggling to recruit and retain staff in the NHS.
Where are the support services to prevent this?

Almost a year ago we examined 109 baby pouches aimed at children aged under 12 months

🍓Some products labelled 'no added sugar' contained as much sugar by volume as Coke

👶Many targeted parents of infants as young as 4 months, contrary to @WHO guidance

Nothing has changed...

This is already a public health crisis! Cheapest formula ⬆️ 45%
A price cap is essential for families to feed babies safely. @APPGIFI #CostOfLivingCrisis @HouseofCommons https://t.co/UyQ8VUat9y

Why am I not surprised. No wonder the changes seem impossible!

Think of the bereaved families campaigning about mental health risks of gambling, calling for tighter regulation, seeing today what they are up against.

Not just any MP, but chair of the all-party parliamentary group on betting & gaming.

Excited to be at my 1st FNP conference & hear about all the fab work of nurses across Scotland #FNPconf23 @FNP_Scotland

[That Sugar Movement @ThatSugarFilm]

How is sugar processed by the liver, and how does it affect it after it enters the body?

[Gambling with Lives @GambleWithLives]

One child in every secondary school class is addicted to gambling, or at risk of becoming addicted.

💭It's #TimeToTalk day

Shame and stigma make it very hard to talk to people about gambling. If you feel like you need someone to talk to about your own or someone else’s gambling, we have a number of organisations listed on our website: https://t.co/A6AEwwN1Ze

[Faye Buckingham @fayebuckingham1]

Today I made time to ask someone - How are you really? Making just a little time to speak about mental health might just make a massive difference.
What did you do this #TimeToTalkDay

[Mind @MindCharity]

Today’s the day gang 😎

This #TimeToTalk day are you making time to chat about mental health?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.

Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.

Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
