SUMMARY:Medact Brighton group meeting: March
DESCRIPTION:Since 2018\, the Brighton group has been creating a space in the city for health workers and friends to come together\, to learn from each other\, support each other\, and to fight together for the human right to health for all. \n\n\n\nOur campaigning has shifted over the years\, from homelessness\, to migrant healthcare access\, to climate and health. \n\n\n\nCurrently\, we are focusing on housing as part of the Homes for Health movement.

SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting: March
DESCRIPTION:What is the securitisation of health? \n\n\n\nA number of policing and counter-extremism measures are embedded by the government into UK health services\, which at times require health workers to work closely with the police and other security agencies. \n\n\n\nThese measures risk undermining therapeutic relationships\, confidentiality and trust in practitioners – as well as drawing health services and workers into becoming an arm of policing and counter-terror agencies. \n\n\n\nThrough research and campaigns\, Medact aims to shift understandings of ‘security’\, from typically “hard” measures (border enforcement\, a punitive criminal justice system\, counter-terror measures) and advocate for collective and human security\, health and wellbeing. Read more about our work on Securitisation here. \n\n\n\nAbout the group\n\n\n\nThe Securitisation of Health group is for health workers interested in working on these issues through campaigning\, lobbying and research. New members are welcome!  \n\n\n\nIf you have any questions or concerns about attending\, please email our Campaign Lead Sarah Lasoye at sarahlasoye@medact.org. \n\n\n\nThis event will be held online on Zoom.

SUMMARY:Medact Sheffield: NHS Borderlands screening & discussion
DESCRIPTION:Many of us grew up feeling proud of the NHS\, our universal and free healthcare service. Sadly\, the NHS has become part of the hostile environment imposed on migrants via the levying of exorbitant financial charges for certain patients accessing basic\, or life-saving care. The scapegoating of marginalised people for the systemic problems within our NHS is not something we should accept. \n\n\n\nThe national Patients not Passports (PNP) campaign has recently created a bank of online resources aimed at raising awareness of charging patients from outside the UK. This toolkit will equip those who work closely with migrants\, refugees and asylum seekers with the necessary information to resist NHS migrant charging policy and stop patients from being denied healthcare.  \n\n\n\nWe want to raise awareness of this new resource and share it within Sheffield and South Yorkshire. We also want to build on the vibrant group of people in Sheffield who raise awareness of this injustice\, help support those who are denied access to care because of their immigration status\, and pressure politicians to change this cruel system. \n\n\n\nJoin us for a screening of the brilliant NHS Borderlands short film\, hear from Sheffield residents who have personal experience of the hostile environment in the NHS\, discuss actions we can take (such as accessing the PNP toolkit) and enjoy food together.  \n\n\n\nWe will be at the Broomhall Community Centre on Thursday the 12th of December at 7pm. Food will be provided around 8pm. Free entry\, anyone welcome! \n\n\n\nPlease register to help us estimate numbers! If you have any questions\, please get in touch:  sheffield@medact.org
