Reflecting on my journey in public health and how my own life perspective affects my interaction with others. The most important learning for me is the importance of active listening, critical reflection and empathy. For more, check out my blog post https://wix.to/c06ZtBe #diversity #PublicHealth

Thanks Mary E. Fleming, MD, MPH, FACOG for sharing. I look forward to your forum as you continue to support and educate us about health policy. After all, it really is the political determinants of health that drives our social determinants of health! from one of my favorite health equity scholars Daniel Dawes author of "The Political Determinants of Health"

In a world full of challenges, there's always that one issue that stands out—something that, if solved, could bring about meaningful change. Whether it's improving children's access to education, tackling maternal mortality, promoting mental health awareness, or something else entirely, it's important to think about how we can make a difference in our little corner. For me, the one problem I'd solve would be improving the health outcomes of communities, one person at a time through advocacy and health education. I believe if people know better, it will improve their chances of being better.

This issue is crucial because whether it is just the health of Father, mother, and child ,everyone truly matters. A woman should not have to die because she is pregnant and can't access health care. By addressing it, I believe we could have a more productive society with people reaching their full potential. Now, I’d love to hear from you: If you had the power to solve any problem in your sphere of influence, what would it be and why?

Despite significant investments in health research, there often remains a gap between what we know enhances healthcare and how it's implemented in practice. Knowledge translation (KT) is pivotal in closing this divide. Recently, our Knowledge Translation Platform convened an envisionarium with SPHERE members to generate actionable recommendations for promoting KT within and beyond our partnership. Facilitated with researchers, healthcare providers, and community stakeholders the discussions unearthed key insights. https://lnkd.in/g266UfG3 #HealthcareInnovation #KnowledgeTranslation #ResearchImpact #SPHERE #HealthResearch

Understanding Creative Health in London Report Mayor of London & London Arts and Health A new report commissioned by the GLA and written by Dr Rebecca Gordon Nesbitt with London Arts and Health finds that the Creative Health sector is making a significant contribution to the capital’s health and wellbeing. The 'Understanding Creative Health in London' report details the evolution, scale, character, and maturity of the creative health sector in London. The report addresses the following questions: How have the arts and health sectors evolved to improve Londoners' wellbeing? Who makes it happen and under what conditions? What are the sectors' main challenges and opportunities? The first of its kind, this research unpacks the history of creative health in London, tracing a sector in expansion to this day. The report celebrates the pioneering people and projects changing the lives of Londoners through creativity. As Justine SImons OBE (Deputy Mayor for Culture and Creative Industries) says, “it is a crucial invitation for all of us to double down in championing this vital work – in partnership across arts, health and social care sectors.” https://lnkd.in/e3NUD5Kn London Plus Nikki Crane FRSA Partnership for Young London Artsadmin

Learning this week a little bit about Neurodiversity. I believe that diversity extends beyond traditional categories to include the rich spectrum of neurological experiences and perspectives. Embracing neurodiversity means recognizing and valuing the unique strengths and contributions of individuals with varying neurological conditions, including autism, ADHD, dyslexia, and more... Sharing a very good article about it: Neurodiversity: What Is It? (webmd.com)
