What is a system? "The interaction of relationships, interactions & resources in a defined context". What is systems thinking? "An approach to solving problems in complex systems that looks at the interconnectedness of things to achieve a particular goal". We need to build our capability in systems thinking to tackle so many of the big complex challenges of health & care. This is a super article that sets out "FENCED": six transformational principles for applying systems thinking in driving large scale change: reospartners.com/blog/system….

Clare @ProfBambra and I are unimpressed by further cuts to public health. A sorry history. Whenever the nation's health needs more attention the cuts get deeper
Restructuring of the Office for Health Improvement and Disparities is a further step in the wrong direction for tackling health inequalities bmj.com/content/384/bmj.q413 @marmotihe @MichaelMarmot @fuse_online @_HENorth

Our network say a much closer relationship between inclusion health and safeguarding services in London is needed.
Like if you agree. Read our conference report.

The freeze to Local Housing Allowance rates is making it harder for Local Authorities to find affordable housing to move people into, leaving many trapped in substandard temporary accommodation properties. The government must #UnfreezeHousingBenefit
blog.shelter.org.uk/2023/07/…
Especially important to flag this with rising numbers of families ending up in Travelodges and B&Bs, as all conventional emergency accommodation supplies are exhausted...
In @Shelter's report, 68% of people had inadequate access to basic facilities in their Temporary Accommodation. No one should be forced to live in a property where they can't cook or do laundry. TA must be regulated and minimum standards enforced.

Today, the #IllegalMigrationBill received Royal Assent. The College is deeply concerned that a number of the provisions within the new law will now have direct consequences for some of the most vulnerable children in our society. 🧵rcpch.ac.uk/news-events/news…
ALT Image displays a quote from Dr Camilla Kingdon, RCPCH President, which reads: I don't believe that anyone who is committed to safeguarding children's health and wellbeing is not alarmed by this new law. We will work tirelessly for measures that support rather than harm vulnerable children seeking safety.

Indefinite detention of pregnant women seeking asylum is unethical and inhumane and the consequences as detailed in this clip could last for generations and have far reaching consequences
'The @RCObsGyn, @MidwivesRCM, @TheBMA and a range of maternity and refugee organisations have warned of the serious risk of harm that indefinite detention could create for pregnant women and their babies... Why are the Government going back on their own policy?'

The Rwanda plan won’t end small boat crossings. Expensive deals with France won’t stop people smugglers. Neither will keep refugees safe.
There is a kinder, safer and more effective option.
