Wrote a little something for the metro on what it’s like being a person of colour and accessing #SRHR feedback welcome! – at Camden Town, London
'I hope for a world that acknowledges the historic abuse of contraception, yet recognises that contraception is about everyone, and isn’t just a women’s problem.'

Public health practitioner dr Neha reinvents ‘big data is like teenage sex: everyone talks about it, nobody really knows how to do it, everyone thinks everyone else is doing it, so everyone claims they are doing it’ - we know more and we’re all it #epi2019 #fomo @EPHconference

Last year, 34 abortion clinics in England and Wales have had protests outside. Today we're asking @patel4witham to revisit last year's conclusion that national buffer zones weren't a "proportionate response" to harassment #BackOff ow.ly/ZHMs50wFqzm @ukhomeoffice

#Endometriosis is a good example of gender bias in medicine:
- women living with pain for years & being told ‘it’s normal’ or not believed.
- despite affecting 1 in 10 women, the lack of investment in research.
We need to do better!

Thread - The launch of the new Centre for Inclusion Health @CCIH_Health at @UCL was beyond inspiring. It aims to close the extreme gap in health & life expectancy in socially excluded groups.
This is great for all of us, rich and poor alike, and it’s needed now more than ever.
