A new @LloydsPharmacy Online Doctor survey reveals 28% of respondents knowingly purchased weight-loss jabs #GLP1s from unlicensed sellers on social media and the dark web. This is a clear regulatory failure. It’s time to hold tech platforms accountable for the sale of #fakemeds.

Blown away by how a small team of public health experts & epidemiologists at @Yale is doing what *entire governments* won’t: helping bring Ukraine’s stolen children home. #PublicHealth is more than disease surveillance—it’s applying those skills for resistance, justice, and accountability in the face of atrocity.
Where is the rest of our academic & research community in supporting Ukraine? We don’t have to be bystanders in war - as shown by the inspiring leadership of @nattyray11 at @HRL_YaleSPH, using open-source intelligence, forensic analysis & satellite imagery to:
– Track abducted 🇺🇦 children
– Map attacks on hospitals & infrastructure
– Issue early warnings to prevent atrocities
– Build legal cases for accountability This is what modern public health looks like in wartime.
🛑 Support their mission & help bring Ukrainian children home: sph.yale.edu/give-hrl
I was on @Telegraph Ukraine Latest podcast today with my most detailed + expansive comments to date about @HRL_YaleSPH funding on Ukraine kids mission, funding fr. 🇺🇸 and other govs (or lack thereof), and incredible work of @BringKidsBackUA + @MykolaKuleba and Save 🇺🇦. Listen 👂

Clear need for cross-sector collaboration to #FightTheFakes from Pharma industry, clinicians, law enforcement, regulators & comms @UCLFightsFakes @FightTheFakes #PAweek25
How do we fight the fakes in terms of medicines? Both substandard and falsified medicines can cause enormous humanitarian and economic harm - What can we do about it? #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences

Using gamification - how useful can it be to help healthcare professionals in their learning? Is it worth all the effort? #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences

One of the things we do together at PharmAlliance is fund CDT students - where there are students at each partner site working on the same project together. It's a great way to facilitate long-term collaborations #PAWeek25 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences @PhrmAlliance

By using virtual reality and AI we can achieve so much more in our online teaching - some nice examples from Steve Hilton about implementing these approaches in undergraduate and outreach programmes #PAWeek2025 @School_Pharmacy @UCLLifeSciences @PhrmAlliance @hiltonlab
