HUGE WIN! Lesbians, bi women and trans people will no longer face additional barriers to accessing IVF, following our #IVFforAll campaign. This wouldn't have been possible without the help of our supporters, who campaigned alongside us for this change 🫶🌈

This is an astonishingly important story from John Burn-Murdoch. Our suddenly-diminished labour force is an immediate, dangerous drag on UK prosperity. It's a hypothesis, but if NHS decay is the reason, this is THE issue of the decade on.ft.com/3IYrtgP

📢 New from me with Matt Sutton Ruth Watkinson Stephanie Gillibrand @igorfrancetic 📢 Deprived patients attending A&E wait longer, receive less complex care, are less likely to be admitted, and are more likely to re-attend or die shortly after attendance. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Several research papers have shown people from deprived areas wait longer for treatment by the NHS in England But still we were surprised to find this discrimination exists in emergency care too sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

🧵'If you look at a map of child mortality in the 1850s, and mortality during Covid, they are almost the same. This suggests we have failed to understand the drivers in ill-health and tackle them.' Powerful point from Professor Chris Whitty speaking at #TCPAAnnualConference [1/2]
