The Journal of Health Inequalities is a free-to-publish, peer-reviewed, open access journal on public health, medical care, and allied disciplines.
Enjoying reading and all the fantastic contributions! So many class based inequalities mentioned relate to health. I’ve heard so many times from participants that health doesn’t “belong to people like us” #bps #healthinequalities #classbasedinequalities

Time for all educational curriculum to change as awareness of diversity will break the barriers of #healthinequalities. The awareness should start young and not only in inner cities. #Onesizedoesnotfitall.Lack of awareness should not be the cause of maternal health. #Core20plus5

“We have to remember the medical curriculum is essentially white. It doesn’t account for a lot of conditions and the way things present in black skin”
Thank you @emahase_ @bmj_latest for capturing this quote from our cofounder Tinuke at the Race and Health Observatory conference
Medicine IS political. Anyone who says they are ‘staying neutral’ is actively maintaining the status quo of #healthinequalities & huge amounts of preventable disease & suffering

My Mum often gets scared about me wading into politics. She says to stay away…
I think medicine and politics go hand in hand.
Political choices influence massively on the mental health and physical health of my future patients.
Every doctor should be political.

What I’ve learned on this #perimenopause #menopause path is it’s my path. Nobody’s going to do it for me and I don’t have a choice in it. What I can do is let those with power and wealth know that not all choices are equal - #healthinequalities
