On what’s been a strange and challenging day, it was lovely to spend the evening with colleagues at @WomenInPAScot’s 5th Anniversary event. Being surrounded by women doing important work to advance equality and human rights felt so soothing, powerful & necessary ❤️

Today we joined @theGCPH & colleagues in the public & third sector to discuss the findings of our scoping review: the social determinants of LGBT+ health & wellbeing.

Great discussion on LGBTQ+ inequalities, intersectionality & the role of public health in tackling inequality.

What a joy it’s been to work with @ChrisH_Health from @theGCPH on this piece of work.
