Experience in EDI / cultural competence work desireable but all training given

This is a brilliant article explaining mechanisms and responses carried into adulthood after childhood adverse experiences

Thank you David for all you did to ensure that cervical cancer has virtually disappeared in women born since 1995 in England regardless of their socioeconomic background

London has the highest number of measles cases in England with low MMR vaccine uptake making the city particularly vulnerable. If you are an unimmunised young adult or the parent of an unimmunised child, the NHS is offering catch-up MMR vaccinations. bbc.co.uk/news/uk-englan…

Calling London!
I am hoping to do some EDI/cultural competence work in South West London. I am looking for health professional educators who are based in or could travel to the SW London/St George’s area to deliver workshops to colleagues. Any suggestions or contacts?

A big thank you to all our parallel session speakers and facilitating chairs. A total of 27 sessions delivered throughout the day with much thought provoking content for our delegates.

It’s crucial generalists are vakued as much as our specialist colleagues. Pre 2000s we had more GPs than specialists, there is now 0.6 of a GP per specialist. Healthcare outcomes are better when the system has primary care and generalism at its foundations
