What a treat to go to our Hackney Health Equity book club yesterday. Thoughtful, insightful conversation with wise people (in real life- not on-line!). Different perspectives and experiences shared. “Very great change starts from very small conversations, held among people who care” M J Wheatley

Researchers found that to address the epidemic of mental ill health among HCPs, workers needed: Targeted MH interventions Hot food Rest areas/lockers Free parking Essentially staff just need to be valued & treated like human beings. Rocket science it is not. evidence.nihr.ac.uk/alert/system...

Was great to visit Homerton Grove Adventure Playground today. It’s a creative, inclusive, nature-filled play space with a fire pit, climbing structures & even an old taxi! Ideas were buzzing about how we can work more closely @homertonhealthcare.bsky.social #play www.hackneyplay.org/homerton-gro...

I feel hugely under-qualified to speak up about equality issues BUT I do want a better world & I do think we’re stronger together. So pleased to have joined Brap Equality Republic - a movement for social change - “a community of practitioners, dreamers, & all-round schemers” www.brap.org.uk/republic

I’ve had so many conversations with people about this. Of course, helping someone out of poverty is not simply about the cash…but project managers and systems take up so much resource. Would it be simpler to send budget straight to the people who need it?? ⬇️⬇️

Hackney is rich in green spaces and waterways (even on rainy grey Autumn days). It’s great to see how well they are used and loved #greenspaces #socialconnection #health #wellbeing

I’m currently studying for an MSc in Systems Thinking & Leadership (it’s also a Level 7 Apprenticeship). I’m loving learning about new tools and frameworks to define ideas and solve problems I knew about before but didn’t know how to articulate. If you’re on this journey too I’d love to connect!

I’ve jumped into the Blue Sky & keen to connect! Topics like: health equity; inequalities; neighbourhoods; strengthening community; humanising healthcare; social justice; anti-racism; systems thinking; anchor institutions; compassionate leadership; social prescribing...and anything in between.
