After our @deependgp roundtable discussion on the cost of living crisis last year, we created a template letter with @EAS_Scotland and @RCGPScotland that general practices and patients can use to lobby their MSPs on the negative impact of housing on their health.
The numbers speak for themselves. According to @WHO 1241 people in Scotland died due to cold, damp homes in 4 months of 2022. This is Scotland’s shame #EASConf23

Great speakers kicking off the conference, making the very compelling case for why it's essential to train GPs to work in areas of deprivation... Health services need to be at their best where they are needed the most...or health inequalities will worsen @deependgp

Our 40th @deependgp report has just been published online, following a roundtable discussion in November about the cost-of-living crisis, and how it is impacting on the communities we serve. We capture the themes raised and make some recommendations. tinyurl.com/2j2ssaru
