Quality and safe abortion care is integral to sexual and reproductive healthcare. Criminalising abortion and hampering access to care only serves to increase the number of unsafe abortions, putting women’s lives at risk 👇Press release below tinyurl.com/4m4ak3h3 #RoeVsWade

Thank you Women in Public Affairs for a fantastic event this evening. And Caroline Nokes for the reminder that being represented and being heard are not the same thing!

Amazing show of support for the FSRH Hatfield Vision in Parliament tonight! We’re pleased to see so many pledges from across the sector. #FSRH_HatfieldVision

"The word 'ambition' is used 55 times in the Women’s Health Strategy, but details on implementation and accountability [...] are thin." Excellent read from Ed Mullins and Dr @bykatewomersley.bsky.social on what we need next from the Government's WH Strategy. bmj.com/content/378/bm…

Blog I did for Chartered Institute of Housing and Women's Aid on the devastating impact the cost of living crisis is having on survivors of domestic abuse #endabusetogether - refuges have said they'll struggle to pay their energy bills this winter 👇👇

This is an awful decision. Our health is based on so much more than the delivery of healthcare. The white paper was the chance to be bold, improve health (which in turns improves wealth) & reduce inequality. Bitterly disappointing to see this thrown away theguardian.com/politics/2022/…

Fantastic to celebrate Cancer Research UK’s 20th anniversary this evening. Powerful contributions on what it means to live well with cancer.

Thank you Wellbeing of Women for an excellent Summit yesterday, with lots of passionate clinicians / advocates in the room. A great reminder from Caroline Nokes that while collaboration is always important, some fights have to be fought.

Doesn’t quite align with everything being said by a set of new ministers over the past few days 🤷‍♀️

Powerful & eye-opening from The Health Foundation. Read it. Is it any wonder we have a #socialcare #workforce #crisis, when many are pushed to the brink of #poverty? A society that values our most vulnerable people, must value those who support them. Do we? health.org.uk/publications/l…

Absolutely loved taking part in this for The FSRH today. An important reminder that the climate crisis is also a health crisis. A big thank you to London Cycling Campaign for keeping us all safe! #RideForTheirLives

Happy Tuesday!

Today we published a joint position statement with Royal College of General Practitioners The FSRH British Menopause Society on women's health hubs and how we think it could look.
