SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting
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\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:London Housing & Health meeting
DESCRIPTION:Medact’s Housing & Health Group is organising to improve policies for better access to secure and sustainable housing.  \n\n\n\nThis includes working alongside local groups to support local campaigns\, as well as demanding policy change on a national level for better support for social housing\, community-owned housing stock and protections for renters. \n\n\n\nIn this meeting\, you will be hearing from the members involved in our work\, get updates on our local organising work in North West London\, and help us develop the next steps and identify potential campaigns in other boroughs. \n\n\n\nYou don’t have to be a regular member of the EJ&H group or a health worker to get involved\, everyone is welcome. If you’re unable to attend meetings but keen to get involved or develop a local campaign\, you can contact Jordi: jordilopezbotey@medact.org.  \n\n\n\nRegister to attend!\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed] \n\n\n\n\n\nBackground \n\n\n\nThe housing system in the UK is broken. Currently\, 1.6 million households are on social housing waiting lists and millions more are struggling to meet unaffordable rents in the private sector.  One in five dwellings in England fail to meet decent standards for living\, with disregard for basic health and safety measures all too common. Housing is not equitably distributed in the UK: poorer households\, ethnic minority groups\, the elderly and adults with disabilities are all more likely to live in low-quality\, unsafe\, insecure housing. Despite all of this\, social and private rents are growing faster than the cost of living. Social housing stock is dwindling\, yet there are around five times more empty homes in the country than households in need of housing. \n\n\n\nAs part of the health community\, we see and care for the symptoms of an unjust economic system. We are united in struggle with friends and colleagues within and beyond the NHS in organising to end housing-related health inequalities.
