How do people in the UK think about health?

Research has shown our mindsets are highly individualistic and medicalised. However, findings from Moving Mindsets (co-funded with @jrf_uk) show this may be changing.

In case you missed in among all the news on the tobacco and vapes bill, @NHSDigital have today released the 2023/24 National Child Measurement Programme data.

Tl,dr: #obesity rates trending downwards in year 6 but rising again in reception, with inequalities as wide as ever. 🧵

Hello from Westminster! 👋

We've been at the Houses of Parliament today to launch the Health Equals Parliamentary Champions Network – a new network of MPs who will campaign alongside us to #MakeHealthEqual.

Here's why it's important. 🧵

[Adam Briggs @ADMBriggs]

Really welcome to see the introduction of the tobacco and vapes bill.

Tobacco kills 2 in 3 smokers and is responsible for over 400,000 hospital admissions a year.

The bill includes the smokefree generation as well as new provisions for smokefree spaces & retailer licensing.

New @MarmotIHE review shows ethnic difference in health, by themselves, are not evidence of racism. But these differences do give an indication that racism plays a part @DrHNaqvi @profkevinfenton @mayorofLDN @SadiqKhan @LDN_gov @LondonAssembly @UCL https://t.co/BRwjRdMAkZ

📣 NEW REPORT: 300,000 people a year move out of the workforce and report work-limiting health conditions.

People with health conditions face a higher risk of falling out of the labour market. Once they’re out, they’re less likely to return than those in good health.

🧵 A new briefing from @FrameWorksUK, which we have supported, finds that mindsets about health and health inequalities are shifting, with a new understanding that health is a precious asset for both individuals and our society.

The #DarziReport was meant to be about the NHS, but it rightly highlighted the underlying decline in the nation's health - and inequalities - underpinned by the building blocks of health.
These need to be fixed, if the NHS is going to improve.

[The Health Foundation @HealthFdn]

Lord Darzi's findings have set out the stark reality of the state of the NHS and the critical issues it faces.

Our work includes analysis and proposals describing the challenges to health and care in the UK, as well as suggestions for possible solutions.

A big focus of my role is on how government can work better to improve health and inequalities.

I was therefore involved in commissioning this recent evidence brief on Health Impact Assessments (HIAs) by Dr John Ford (@JohnFord1849) and others: https://t.co/f56xwJMmb6 🧵

Strengthening the building blocks of health can improve the health of the whole population – benefiting individuals, society and the economy.

But what are these building blocks? How do they impact people's health?
