New research from @healthequals.bsky.social finds that 15 million people in the UK live in homes with issues like damp, cold or mould. The impact on our mental health as well as our physical health can be devastating, causing respiratory symptoms, depression and anxiety.

New research from Health Equals finds that 1 in 4 people in the UK live in homes with issues like damp, mould and cold. These issues are known causes of mental health problems.

This is what I've been up to for the last couple of days. Really brilliant to spend a couple of days listening to and learning from people about what they want data and AI to do/be used for. A couple of quick reflections

Yesterday, with @livunichil.bsky.social colleagues, I shared knowledge of using quasi-experiments to answer difficult questions in real-world with 50+ nhs+loc gov analysts. Huge privilege for me and example of mobilising data+skills to build learning health systems, cutting time to innovation

Inspired by Liverpool City Region residents at today's Assembly. Mobilising data into action well becomes real in health systems where organisations are accountable to one another and to the residents they serve - a national grid of civic data & AI is overdue - see: www.thenhsa.co.uk/app/uploads/...

I am mad about data, and work with lots of teams sharing the madness. A bunch of us Northerners, inspired by @profbuchan.bsky.social, wrote of working together as big team of Unis, NHS, local gov, charities and citizens to use data+combined skills to innovate. 👉 www.thenhsa.co.uk/app/uploads/...
