Today, we are calling on all political parties to put #PublicHealth at the ♥️ of the upcoming general election in order to prevent the ⬆️number of people living with – and dying from – preventable illness.

We’re trying to get as many followers as Nigel Farage so we can show those who want to privatise the NHS just how many people are prepared to fight against it.

Please take a few seconds to help by following us and retweeting this.

[Richard Brown @RichBrowntown]

This is why a place based approach & system level, national change is needed to address the wider, social determinants of health. It's not as simple as people needing to make "better choices"

To enable system change, we must leave the Zone of Comfortable Debate where we feel happiest & enter the Zone of Uncomfortable Debate where the beliefs, assumptions & conflicts that are big barriers to change reside: https://t.co/3nppb4UwJD By @cranfieldmngmt Graphic: @NPCthinks

Most organisations use "goal cascade" (A) - goals set by senior leaders are cascaded down for teams to implement. It typically doesn't work well. Systems that enable collective learning by linking local models & shared models (B) work better: https://t.co/nu0pZlC0Iq By @jchyip

@BenWealthy1 I think promoting active travel has a huge role to play here. Tons of evidence that shows the benefit of daily walking and cycling. Now we need to enable it. Personally think social prescribing, bike subsidies and wellness groups for those with chronic illness can all play a role

I was diagnosed with #HIV in 1998, when I was 30.
At the time, I did not expect to live to 50.
I’m 55 now.
HIV treatment works and it means I can’t pass it on - we call this #UequalsU.
HIV changed. Tell everyone.

[Terrence Higgins Trust @THTorguk]

Today is #WorldAIDSDay

We’ve made remarkable progress in the fight against HIV – but stigma continues to hold us back and that's completely unacceptable.

Everyone has a part to play in tackling stigma by telling as many people as possible the facts about HIV today.

Flu is very much among us currently yet vaccine uptake for younger children in St Helens is still very low so do get your child vaccinated if you can. It's available as a nasal spray & can offer the best protection against the virus. More here: https://t.co/uUjOK7dUXT

This week, as part of Op Challenger, Bev launched a really important campaign on spotting the signs of modern slavery.

We can all play our part in spotting the signs and stopping this crime being under-reported.

There's a myth that fear motivates people to take action & enables change to happen in organisations. A myth is a commonly held belief that's untrue. When people are fearful, they don't learn, or innovate, or take the risks needed to improve outcomes. Fear creates a toxic culture
