SUMMARY:Research Meeting: 'Kill The Bill'
DESCRIPTION:The government has misleadingly branded the dangerous PCSC Bill a “public health approach” to combating serious violence. In response\, we are putting together a briefing in support of the Kill The Bill movement\, explaining why police-led enforcement is not the same as public health and why this Bill will actually harm health. This is our first research meeting to discuss this work. \nWe especially want to enable those from groups most affected by the Bill to contribute to this work but all are welcome. \nFor more info\, contact office@medact.org

SUMMARY:Access to Healthcare in a Hostile Environment
DESCRIPTION:On Monday 6th September\, Medact Sheffield invites you to Access to Healthcare in the Hostile Environment\, a webinar exploring how hostile environment immigration policies in the NHS are deterring migrants from accessing the care they need. \nWe’re honoured to be joined by Simba Mujakachi\, as we build towards Simba’s Carnival of Resistance to the Hostile Environment where we’ll march with the Justice for Simba campaign to deliver his 67\,000 signature petition to the Royal Hallamshire Hospital. \nIn this webinar we’ll hear from Simba and his father Victor about their experiences of being on the receiving end of inhumane NHS charging policies\, Dr Rizwana Lala will speak about the public health impacts of the Hostile Environment\, and together we’ll discuss how you get get involved with the Patients Not Passports campaign both locally and nationally. \nSign up\, and we’ll see you there! \nMedact Sheffield \nSpeakers\nSimba\, who came to the UK as a teenager in 2004 – was sent a bill for more than £93\,000 after he suffered a stroke and spent 2 weeks in a coma\, because of his immigration status.

He speaks of his personal experience facing the hostile environment and campaigning against it. \nVictor\, Simba’s father and long-time Sheffield activist has worked with ASSIST\, Voice for the Voiceless and South Yorkshire Migration and Asylum Action group (SYMAAG).
