Apologies to other members of @HcriSoc and @BAMEdical_UoM for not tagging you. I didn’t find everyone in twitter but we at @MancMedact were super-impressed by all of you.

"But the bigger problem is that racial and religious biases exist in society – in all of us – & Prevent provides a framework to operationalise those biases Moreover, it does so in a way that criminalises the people we refer"

1. The Critical Social Medicine Network is a forum for academics, practitioners & activists who critically engage with ideas of health, disease & medicine. Social medicine understands health & disease to be rooted in social and political conditions & to reflect power relations.

Counterterrorism is a statutory duty within healthcare sectors in the U.K. - the only nation where this is the case. Great to hear from @Tarek_Younis_

Hoping @TheBMA @BMA_Consultants @BMA_GP @BMA_JuniorDocs could spare a RT + include info in a newsletter or the like to help spread the word - spare room needed for a refugee doctor in Manchester (especially after the National Consultants Conference vote!) @DrOKaneAgain
#Manchester! We need six hosts for six lovely guests... including an Afghan doctor who is taking exams so he can practice medicine here, & an Iranian who is ‘immaculately’ clean & tidy & noted for his washing up skills. I might need him to move in here.... 🤔😏

Not only is this is unfair and inhumane - it’s a waste of money. 2/3rds of the original decisions are overturned in court. The #hostileenvironment does not work - time for a rethink @theresa_may . @MancMedact @DocsNotCops theguardian.com/uk-news/2018…
There are exciting things happening at the @1BMHC @GaskellsHouse and other venues according GM. visit macfest.org.uk/whats-on to find out more #MACFEST
