Today I lost an NIH grant training clinicians to do research about intimate partner violence with perinatal women. More women are murdered in the perinatal period than die of obstetric complications. I didn't just lose a grant. We lost an entire cohort of people building careers to prevent that.

"An NHS doctor dies by suicide every three weeks. A nurse attempts suicide almost every day. Even during the height of the pandemic, as the virus ravaged frontline healthcare workers, government data revealed that NHS staff took more sick days for mental health reasons than for Covid."

This is an important new report from @cancerresearchuk.org. In more deprived areas there are higher levels of cancer incidence, higher prevalence of cancer risk factors, less engagement with screening programmes, and worse diagnosis and survival outcomes. www.cancerresearchuk.org/sites/defaul...

Deprivation inequalities across the cancer pathway. Compared to least deprived areas, people living in the most deprived areas have a higher proportion of adults who smoke (22% vs 6%), higher proportion of adults who are obese (36% vs 19%), lower proportion participating in bowel screening (57% vs 76%), higher proportion diagnosed via emergency route (26% vs 21%), higher proportion of stage 4 diagnoses (31% vs 24%), higher incidence rate (685 per 100k vs 570 per 100k), lower 5 year survival rate (52% vs 70%), and higher mortality rate (337 per 100k vs 217 per 100k).

This isn’t just ‘policy’ any more is it, this is ‘life-saving policy’. Yes it’s annoying sometimes. Yes it could have been brought in differently - but it is a great example of sensible, evidence led government. BTW: Those lives you’re saving are likely to be young children and Grandparents.
