An inspirational and visionary leader...many congratulations on your 4 consecutive years recognition 👏. Lots of insights and signpost to resources included here for all those interested in #socialprescribing 👇
Serial HSJ 50 most influential BAME leader in health (2021, 2022, 2023, 2024), Telegraph 100 Female Entrepreneur list. Awarded MBE in the Kings New Year Honours 2024 for #SocialPrescribing. #PublicHealth Academic
People often ask why I am so deeply committed to #socialprescribing. My answer is simple: the transformation people experience is real, and once you see it, you can't help but care deeply. Why should we not intervene when we can make such a difference? Too many people are conditioned to accept that they cannot break free from their circumstances, join and support this journey towards a brighter future :-). Read my latest article celebrating 4 consecutive years of Health Service Journal NHS Race & Health Observatory recognition 🙏

Colleagues surprised me with congratulations, prompting me to wonder why. They revealed I've been named in Health Service Journal 50 Most Influential BAME in People in Health for the fourth consecutive year (21,22,23,24). People ask me why I care so much. #Socialprescribing is not simply about a hobby; it's about addressing avoidable health inequalities and injustices crippling people and the nation. To be named alongside esteemed BAME colleagues is morale boosting Prof. Bola Owolabi, MRCGP MFPH(Hon), FRSPH Lord Victor Adebowale CBE Kamila Hawthorne Louise Ansari Prof Habib Naqvi MBE Mary Akangbe FAPH Duleep Allirajah Samira Ben Omar Navina Evans Professor the Lord Darzi of Denham OM KBE PC FRS Prof. Kevin Fenton CBE Marie Gabriel CBE Aruna Garcea Stella Vig Thanks Health Service Journal NHS Race & Health Observatory National Association of Link Workers and all those who have supported me and continue to support me.....you are my strength
