In the last week of his Presidency, @profkevinfenton.bsky.social reflects on the new paradigm for public health. “This is not a time to only look at delivering our programmes. We have to look horizontally and be able to build coalitions in an increasingly complex world.” linktr.ee/tiph.podcast

National HIV Testing Week is back and it’s never been easier to test for HIV. This week, we’re calling on people across England to test - it’s free and confidential. It’s also the only way to know if you have HIV and worth doing because people can live with HIV for a long time without any symptoms.

What is Public Health? What has it ever done for us? Public health is the science and art of preventing disease, prolonging life, and promoting health through organized efforts and informed choices of society, organizations, public and private, communities, and individuals.

Critical in Public Health’s evolution, are the worsening health, economic, & social inequalities across societies. Fuelled by historic, systemic and structural factors, these inequalities exacerbate current health threats & risk being weaponised. Let me be clear: There is no health without equity.
