On #IDWGS2022 I'm celebrating not only the incredible women I get to work with UK Health Security Agency but also the inquisitive minds of the future who will address global threats. Excited to see how e-Bug plays a role in inspiring girls to address #AntimicrobialResistance

I love working with e-Bug partners. So many brilliant, inspiring women, like Dulce, who #BreakTheBias and are pushing the fight against #AMR forwards across health and education.

Privileged to work with women who #BreakTheBias and champion STEM. On #IWD2022, I'm struck by their constant encouragement and support of each other and of me. What a team πŸ™Œ #WomenforWomen

Mainly thinking today about the women sacrificing themselves for their communities. In πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§, standing up against rising poverty, in πŸ‡°πŸ‡ͺ to demand better maternal health, in πŸ‡³πŸ‡¬ for UHC and of course all women in so many places confronting oppressors πŸ‡ΊπŸ‡¦ πŸ‡ΈπŸ‡΄ πŸ‡΅πŸ‡Έ πŸ‡ΎπŸ‡ͺ #IWD2022

For those who can't catch up, here are the key takeaways: 1. Children are change agents- we can be optimistic about the future if they are in charge!

4. By building AMR and #IPC into the curriculum and providing support and guidance to educators, we can make sure CYP are equipped to respond to the threat of #antimicrobialresistance

A joy to catch up with E4A Mama Ye Kenya today and hear how coalitions are going from strength to strength in advocating for improved health services. Excited to see everything in store for them over the coming years πŸ™Œ

Appalled by the decision to repeal Roe. If you are a brit, please consider signing this petition to put pressure on the US, and consider donating to brilliant charities such as Women on Web Repro Legal Defense Fund MSI Reproductive Choices who were and continue to fight for our rights

Takeaways from day 1: 1. We need a multisectoral multidisciplinary approach to effectively tackle the problem 2. Important to consider pragmatism in our interventions 3. Behaviours are engrained but people want to do the right thing- its up to us to get our messaging right!

Keenly aware that many of the actions we want consumers to take become even harder during times of economic hardship. Looking forward to discussing more how we can continue to promote healthy behaviours with an #inequalities lens

Brilliant presentation by Magdalena showing the enormous work by e-Bug and our partners to create effective and engaging #foodsafety educational resources for young people

On my way home after 2 thought provoking days in Bucharest with the SafeConsume conference on behalf of e-Bug. Very happy to speak about one of of my favourite topics- integrating effective interventions in systems for sustainability!

Brilliant webinar by Dr Brieze and Magdalena on how e-Bug resources can be used to create #healthyschools. Great to hear from educators on how engaging students find the lessons and how easy the materials are to adapt. Watch this space for our next webinar in Sept!

Extremely proud of the amazing e-Bug team for the huge amount of work that has gone into this. So pleased to say our new website is now live. This makes our educational resources accessible and available to all.

Brilliant blog outlining the role UKHSA has in addressing health inequalities. Excited to be working with the team to ensure that across all of UKHSA's brilliant work on health security, we are reducing health disparities and achieving equitable outcomes.
