What an absolute privilege to have Dr Katrina O’Sullivan telling us her amazing story of how she went from being hungry every day for food, a hug and security to becoming a Dr of psychology but more importantly a happy, married mother who is loved which was so important ❤️

@MarkAxcellNHS opens the event talking about how we need to work differently, reduce health inequalities and go further in how we serve our under represented populations. The desire to learn and recognise this need is growing and housing is key to this.

@TapsM7 sets the scene about health in the community. There is a strong link between deprivation and people living in social housing on emergency admissions and attendances again demonstrating ‘our people are your people’ - some great work happening and many opportunities!
