Further evidence about the increasing impact of major health conditions, including kidney disease. Our report 'Kidney disease: a public health emergency' showed that kidney disease costs the NHS £6.4 billion a year. Interventions are needed now! https://t.co/eS5KS5EzWD
A transplant is not a cure. Transplant patients need to take a lot of medication & common side effects include: weight gain, high blood sugar levels, increased blood pressure & stomach problems. Share our facts to raise awareness of kidneys this #WorldKidneyDay#KidneysMatter
Ill health is acting as a drag on the economy. All employers have a stake in addressing this, and it’s great to see @CBITweets@Business4Health working to lead this important agenda https://t.co/sJJG6hOwDE
Addressing the UK’s inequalities must also be central to this debate. Not only do people living in more deprived areas have shorter life spans, they also live more years in poor health.
Bit of a wake-up call from Andy Haldane @theRSAorg. There aren’t quick fixes, but a shift towards preventive health will help create the conditions for future growth. https://t.co/8XA7rYkyje

I’ve just met up with Alison for a coffee. She survived #sepsis in my ITU nearly 18 years ago. These are her Diaries kept by her family when she was critically ill in multiorgan failure. They’re still helping her process being in an induced coma for three weeks to this day.
During yesterday’s @CBItweets#CPC22 fringe event, our Country President @Srienow explained why health is so important to the economy and why healthcare should be seen as an investment in our national prosperity
Great explainer of ONS changes to R&D measurement. Critical point is the % alone is not the outcome we should care about, nothing has changed in the real world, and continued pro-innovation policies to incentivise further R&D are needed.
We’re proud to announce we’re partnering with @ukfuturehealth, the UK's largest ever health research programme, bringing people together to develop new ways to prevent, detect and treat diseases. 🧬🔬
Great conversation at the @CBItweets#Lab22 fringe event yesterday, where our Country President, @Srienow talked about the link between investing in our health and the economic growth of our nation
The ingredients for success are all there in Life Sciences Vision. Looking forward to continuing to move from vision to execution in the months ahead! @UK_Life_Science 🇬🇧 🌍 🧬 🚀
