#SSCR2023

Current care system largely designed around specific cohort of people (white, straight), and relies on ppl having agency and advocacy Vic Rayner 💚 #sscr2023

On #WorldPhysicalActivityDay2023 important to remember physical activity is influenced by many things. #150minutes and associated messages aren't cutting it for many i.e. #dementia #olderadults #coronaryheartdisease #disabilities These messages may mean more 👇

Slightly early #ADSBlog , but as it’s about our Championing physical activity course it ties in nicely with World Day for Physical Activity. adsdementiablog.wordpress.com/2023/04/06/cha… #PhysicalActivity
