If there's one thing I've learned in my MPH and experience is that you don't have any idea what public health really is or does, until it goes wrong We don't pay attention to our water, roll our eyes at infectious diseases nurses being so stringent and not think a childhood illness may mean death

Looking forward to #UKHSA25 and presenting with Dr Binta Sultan and others on HBRUs, research, equity and moving forward

LESS THAN 1% OF GLOBAL FUNDING FOR HIV IS TARGETED AT SEX WORKERS LESS THAN 1%!!

My family owe their lives to immigrant doctors. They tried to resuscitate my sister, diagnosed my brother with an incredibly rare condition before death thus, also saving me and my brother.

My parents were immigrants in the 1960s, taking up much needed Dr roles in the new and expanding NHS. They worked for the NHS and served their local community for 40 years. I have no words for the rhetoric that is being used these days by politicians and the media.

Never thought I'd see the day where I'd be saying I'm really enjoying my masters in public health I was terrified to return to education

Reading my modules for next semester and I love them already - learning about self reflective, decolonialisation and antiracism practice in public health

Red flags I see by services that work with sex workers (Sex workers feel free to add your own)

I welcome this greatly, as someone who had been removed from a service because a manager decided I was not of any clinical risk by doing so. There are some truly inspiring NHS managers, but there are some that get promoted upwards instead of removed. www.gov.uk/government/c...

I've had a really difficult few weeks which impacted my studies. A lecturer sent me a lovely email today and I just cried at how kind and understanding it was. Brought my faith back to academia

Comes at the right time such as Enfield, one of the most deprived areas, having to decommission their sexual health services.
