“Misogyny in healthcare” is rife - I said this on TV 📺 over 5years ago and was asked to retract my comment - putting your head above the parapet is not easy 😔 I cannot begin to express how much I echo this letter by my friend and colleague Elspeth Sewell in The Guardian Nearly a decade ago Elspeth, taught me how to do coil insertions and she influenced a lot of my work in understanding that pain relief is available in gynaecology- we NEED to advocate for it 👏🏾 We simply must do better for #womenshealth theguardian.com/society/2025…

Black people in England four times as likely to face homelessness, study finds

Black people also less likely than white people to get social housing and can face ‘overt racism’ from private landlords

If you or others feel dizzy, weak, sick or are intensely thirsty during hot weather, this may be heat exhaustion. Move to a cool place, rehydrate and cool your body down

1 in 4 of us will experience suicidal thoughts in our lifetime. It’s likely that if you haven’t experienced them yourself, someone you know has, so it’s important to shed some light on what they are and how you can support someone going through them.
