Great to attend the launch of @SortedProject's 5 year strategy on the Panacea canal boat-where their journey began. So nice to hear about their plans for the next chapter. Big things ahead for a charity who have already made such a difference #healthinequalities

[Kellie @kelburd]

Such an important issue. A great write-up of this event and a lot of practical steps already being taken by so many.

Guest Blog-What is missingness in healthcare? '...missingness is not just about individuals. It's about systems. It's about how healthcare structures sometimes fail to accommodate the needs of the most vulnerable.' Read Professor Andrea Williamson's blog https://t.co/lcBthRsAOr

Last week VHS hosted our 'Continuing the Conversation on the Population Health Framework' event online. Thanks to guest speaker Mark McAllister from @P_H_S_Official and everyone who took part and made it such a great discussion. View the key messages at https://t.co/DKj9iVQPL9

[Voluntary Health Scotland @VHSComms]

Thanks to all who attended our ‘Missingness Lens’ to Health Inequalities' event today where we heard from Andrea Williamson, Prof of General Practice and Inclusion Health @UofGlasgow. Some great examples from attendees who're already applying a 'missingness lens' in their work
