On World AIDS Day, we remember all those we've lost to HIV/AIDS related illness and unite in our battle against the virus. We’ve committed to zero new transmission of HIV in the capital by 2030. We’ll continue to work with partners to tackle the stigma of getting tested and treated.

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

Drowning is not the violent, splashing call for help that most people expect.

In conflict zones, women are not only deliberately targeted through gender based violence but also suffer from the collapse of vital systems. The consequences are catastrophic yet routinely sidelined in humanitarian responses @hrpresearch.bsky.social @who.int www.bmj.com/content/389/...

New analysis from @theifs.bsky.social adding more weight to the role that poor mental health - is playing in the rise in disability benefit claims. This problem will only be addressed through a concerted prevention strategy that puts in place the building blocks of good health.

Underfunding public health is a false economy - we need more investment in prevention if the NHS is to achieve the goals of its Long Term Plan.

I worked with MOPAC on this a while ago, to help them consider how a consistent appropriate adults service can help to tackle health inequalities for some of our most vulnerable Londoners. I am so pleased to see this has come to fruition.
