Exciting to see Margaret Caffrey open our #WHA78 side event with World Health Organization (WHO), exploring how to strengthen bilateral agreements on #healthworker migration. This builds on #UKAfricaHealthSummit discussions in March & some of Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET) thought leadership around diaspora, the #ExpertsInOurMidst



“This is why the APPG on #GlobalHealth & Security is so important. It can help clarify what ‘modern partnership’ really means… And it can advocate for a funding model that matches ambition with action.” Dr Beccy Cooper MP Dr Lauren Sullivan MP Lord Jonny Oates Baroness Sugg Lord Nigel Crisp

Many Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET) stars at #WHA78. Here’s one of them, Margaret Caffrey, talking at the SOM e-News reception about the Global Health Security, DHSC UK-commissioned research into #healthworker well-being, part of our broader #GHWP collaboration. Particular thanks to SOMCEO for inviting us to contribute.


“At Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET), we stand ready to support this work (to define ‘modern partnerships’). We bring evidence of what partnerships achieve… as an INGO with deep roots in health systems across Africa & Asia, we can lend our voice to advancing this agenda.” David Lammy Collins of Highbury


“It costs approximately £327,000 to train a doctor in the UK to Foundation Year 1. Recruiting doctors & nurses trained overseas has saved the UK taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds.” #UKAid #globalhealth #expertsinourmidst #HealthPartnerships globalhealthpartnerships.org/we-need-a-new-…

"65% believe #UKaid should be aligned with British priorities. This is not a barrier—it is an opportunity. It gives UKGovernment a mandate to reframe aid as investment in the UK’s own health, economic resilience. That is what our global partners want." globalhealthpartnerships.org/we-need-a-new-…



"Thomas Frank hasn’t just coached Brentford FC - he's defined them. Since taking over in 2018, he’s crafted a club culture that’s both humble and fearless." Thomas, if you're listening, don't go! beesotted.com/thomas-franks-… #youBees

💬 "global health isn’t charity. It’s a vital investment in our own safety, economy and NHS resilience." Great thought leadership from Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET)' Ben Simms in Telegraph Global Health Security. The Gov cannot forget that ODA boosts the UK's own health + prosperity. 👇 telegraph.co.uk/global-health/…

Such a pleasure to be spending the day celebrating the achievements of #CwPAMs with Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET)’ partners at Commonwealth Pharmacists Association. We start by acknowledging the leadership of Prof. Dame Sally Davies & the support of Global Health Security, DHSC UK. #UKAid #HealthPartnerships #globalNHS



Pleased to have drawn this letter from #NHS staff to attention of Jenny Chapman in today's Bond 'Town Hall' meeting. I confess I struggled to hide just how upset I feel about The Labour Party decisions on #UKAid. This letter shows that I am not alone. #ExpertsInOurMidst #globalNHS
