For many NHS staff, the recent racist violence in this country will leave them feeling afraid and unwelcome. To those colleagues, our message is simple: you are welcome and you are valuable members of our community. Reach out for support if you need it.

There's never a bad time to share a video of that time Akala humiliated Yaxley-Lennon on TV, but now seems as good a time as any.
To paraphrase @greenlungband Nazis can fuck off. Absolutely sick at the scenes across the UK, fascism has no place here.

One of the joys of election night is the collapse of party discipline. Once the polls close, the blame game within the Tory party (which has never had much discipline anyway) will begin in earnest. So here's a little game to keep you going. Have a drink for each one you hear.
Absolutely agree! My nephew and my step-daughters partner deserve to be safe and happy #LGBwiththeT

BREAKING: Just under 500,000 people have registered to vote today.
If we can get an additional 125,000 people registered by 23:59, we will break the record for the highest number of registrations in one day.

URGENT! Pls share. The last chance to register to vote in the General Election is 11.59pm tomorrow Tue 18 June. Potentially 8m aren't registered at their current address. Here's 4 key facts...
1) You can do it online here registertovote.service.gov.u…
2) It's good for your finances. Not being on electoral roll can make it more difficult to be accepted for credit products like bank accounts or mortgages.
3) You can opt out of the 'Open Register' (which allows your info to be sold on) which will stop you getting junk mail marketing )
4) You'll need ID when you do vote (not to register) if you don't have it, you can get it free until Wed 26 June gov.uk/apply-for-photo-id-vo…

I went to see this amazing show in December - it's only in Southwark Playhouse til 17 Feb, but then on tour. See it if you love/hate Disney, musicals, puppets and camp queer fun. I am absolutely going to see it again! youtu.be/qWRfEl9KW_M?si=72Ci… via @YouTube

I find knitting while listening to tutor/supervisor helps manage the sensation of having my mind expanded yet again by the @NHSLeadership Elizabeth Garrett Anderson programme.

If you’ve got a cancer diagnosis, find out if you can get a free Covid vaccine and flu jab this winter.
This is important, because some cancers or cancer treatment can lower your resistance to infection.
If you have an ongoing health condition, are pregnant or over 65 years old, get your free flu and Covid vaccines.
If your child is aged two or three get their free flu vaccine.

📢 Black Thrive is proud to join @NHSEngland in announcing the first ever anti-racism framework for mental health trusts and service providers. The Patient and Carer Race Equality Framework (PCREF) will ensure that the NHS is responsible for co-producing and implementing concrete actions to reduce racial inequality within their services, with the view to becoming an actively anti-racist organisation.
Our Director @DrJacquiDyerMBE has been one of the driving forces behind PCREF, as NHS England National Mental Health Equalities Advisor and chair for the Advancing Mental Health Equalities Taskforce and the PCREF Steering Group.
"It's about race equity in systems change, the scale of it is huge and deep,” Dr. Jacqui Dyer explains. “It’s getting into the DNA of how you make system improvement and you’re holding the whole system to account as you’re doing it.”
📅 Join us on 3rd November for the PCREF National Launch Webinar, when Dr Jacqui Dyer will be giving a keynote speech on the ambitions PCREF has for the future. Our CEO Dr @soucimf will discuss the role of VSCE organisations in implementing PCREF and engaging communities.

Let's highlight the remarkable contributions of Black women during #BlackHistoryMonth 2023 . From pioneering scientists and dedicated activists to talented artists and influential leaders, their impact is truly immeasurable.
The theme #SalutingOurSisters pays homage to black women who had contributions ignored, ideas appropriated, and voices silenced. #WEMATTER
