SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting: April
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 North East group meeting: April
DESCRIPTION:Medact North East are a collective of health workers and students based across the North East\, from Northumberland to Newcastle to Middlesbrough! \n\n\n\nCurrently we are working on a climate justice campaign\, supporting a grassroots group to win the fight against a large waste incinerator on Teesside\, which would pollute the air of the local community as well as accelerating the climate crisis.  \n\n\n\nWe are also exploring campaigns around migrant health justice issues through our new ‘Migrant Health’ group.  This includes supporting No to Hassockfield which is fighting to shut down a women’s detention centre in County Durham.     \n\n\n\nThe group meets monthly. Each meeting is facilitated by a different person and they welcome new members! The time is used to discuss current campaigns and anything else relevant. For more information or to join a meeting in-person\, get in touch at northeast@medact.org or subscribe below.
