Inspired by Vietnam’s vision and ambition for health and care evolution with civic data approaches. We hosted colleagues from Ho Chi Minh twice at CHIL @livunichil.bsky.social in the past year and have the pleasure of detailed work with colleagues here this week #DataSavesLives

An honour to pay my respects at Liverpool’s #COVID19 remembrance today in our secular ‘cathedral’ St George’s Hall. An apt reflection of the grit and grace that delivered so much by and for so many in this City’s response to the pandemic. Humbled to serve this true collective heart of #PublicHealth

Birch genetics redirected by hormonal effects of a fungus en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Taphrin... - complex cohabitat or gall / witch’s broom. Nature never ceases to make me understand more of the world we should care for and learn from.

Delighted this little one’s sight is saved after a month of ofloxacin, own-serum, and lubricant eye drops. Cone off and tail wagging. Best Christmas present.

Mother Nature's flourish before Winter's sleep: daffodils in a sheltered spot, aptly facing Wales from Wirral; carp still coming to say hi when most of his shoal-mates have submerged to sleepier depths

Friendly carp, even comes to say hi when most have slowed and submerged with winter’s advance

Liverpool had very high uptake of mass screening for TB in 1959 - 75% tested in five weeks uncovering 1045 latent cases: see Sally Sheard's (public health historian) interview with the Liverpool Echo on this during the Covid-19 mass testing pilot of 2020: www.liverpoolecho.co.uk/news/liverpo...

Guyana’s potential for #PublicHealth public innovation linked to rapid economic development in a place of global environmental importance is striking - good to see a strong multi-agency approach to realising this
