Dengue is no longer just a tropical disease. As the climate warms, the dengue-carrying mosquito is expanding its reach to new regions. Despite this growing global threat, there is still no specific treatment for dengue. Together with our partners, we're working to change this!

An extraordinary professional honour to give the annual @fphuk.bsky.social #Fellowship speech this week on behalf of a cohort of remarkable new fellows. I’m overwhelmed by your kind words and reactions; it means a lot to have represented my peers and those who’ve walked this journey together. 🙏

To create this new @who.int report we asked a provocative question - what if countries already measure much of what is needed to improve #publichealth? 📊

Leading the @fphuk.bsky.social National Registrar Conference 2025 was an honour; and made a joy working with an exceptional team. We saw more than 100 public health registrars #inspired, #equipped and better #connected in Glasgow and many more online from across the UK and internationally 🙌🏼

Welcome Public Health Registrars! Today’s Conference ‘Connections on the Clyde’ in Glasgow and online was designed by Registrars, for Registrars, to connect, inspire, and equip you with the knowledge and tools to improve health for all.

Key tips for Registrars: Be curious about the expertise of cross-sector colleagues – that multifaceted approach is where magic happens. Be confident about the power of public health interventions as the base to support government priorities – more work is needed to translate policy into practice.

A hugely inspirational day. It was great to meet so many Registrars and see the incredible talent we have coming through!

This has to be one of the most fun and therapeutic panels I have participated in. Thanks to Kevin for the great questions. It's always good to go down memory lane and share training experiences. Thanks to the Registrars and the FPH for a brilliant conference in Glasgow! Ps: I got a great photo! 😀
