SUMMARY:Housing and Health London Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Medact’s EJ Housing & Health Group is organising to improve policies for better access to secure and sustainable housing. This 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\nOver the past few months\, our members  have been actively involved in national advocacy work through the Homes for us Campaign\, local organising work in Birmingham and have recently started a new project organising with tenants and community organisers in Harrow.  \n\n\n\nYou will be hearing from the members involved in our Housing and Health campaign\, get updates on our local organising work in Harrow and help us develop our next steps and identify other potential campaigns in London.  \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 any of the meetings but keen to get involved or develop a local campaign you can contact Jordi: jordilopezbotey@medact.org \n\n\n[Registration has now closed] \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.

SUMMARY:*POSTPONED* Securitisation of Health group meeting
DESCRIPTION:This meeting has been postponed. All registrants have been notified\, and will receive a rescheduled date shortly. \n\n\n\nWhat 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.

SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group: November 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[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Researching state violence: Deaths by Welfare x Criminalising Distress
DESCRIPTION:For this edition of the Medact Research Network Quarterly meeting\, we’re excited to welcome guest speaker Dr China Mills\, who manages the Deaths by Welfare Project at Healing Justice London\, to introduce us to this project and its impact and implications for health justice work. \n\n\n\nMembers of the Medact Research Network will then present preliminary findings from our Criminalising Distress project. \n\n\n\nWe’ll also discuss the parallels between the two—especially the violence of state neglect towards those viewed as a burden on resources. We think this is going to be a great event\, so register below! \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nChina Mills leads the Deaths by Welfare project at Healing justice Ldn – researching welfare state violence alongside those most impacted. She is committed to research practice that cultivates and restores dignity\, belonging\, safety\, and that is abolitionist – in community with those harmed by state violence. She has published widely on state\, and corporate\, violence\, structural oppression\, suicide and mental health\, and is the author of Decolonising Global Mental Health (published by Routledge). She is also a member of the Poverty\, Power\, and Stigma design team at the Joseph Rowntree Foundation\, working alongside people with lived experience of poverty. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]
