SUMMARY:Securitisation of Health group meeting: October
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.

We will share the agenda as soon as it is finalised. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nSpeaker bios\n\n\n\nChairs: \n\n\n\nAnuj Kapilashrami is an interdisciplinary social scientist\, academic activist\, and Professor in Global Health Policy and Equity in the School of Health & Social Care\, and chair of Medact’s Board. Her current work focuses on advancing an intersectional approach to examining health inequalities and structural determinants of health and well-being. She has long been involved in People’s Health Movement (PHM) in India and the UK\, formerly as Chair of PHM Scotland where she led the first public hearing on social determination of mental health and the development of people’s health manifesto for Scotland.  \n\n\n\nKamran Abbasi is a doctor\, journalist\, editor and broadcaster. Following five years in hospital medicine\, working in various medical specialties such as psychiatry and cardiology\, he moved into senior editorial roles at the British Medical Journal from 1997 to 2005. He returned to The BMJ in his role as executive editor for content\, leading the journal’s strategic growth internationally\, digitally\, and in print. Kamran was made Editor in chief of the BMJ in December 2021. \n\n\n\nPanelists: \n\n\n\nGuppi Bola is a senior economic strategist\, previous Interim-Director of Medact and formerly Chair of the Joint Council for the Welfare of Immigrants. In 2020 she explored themes of planetary dysregulation\, illness and oppression\, and their intersections with the economy for Common Wealth using her 15 years of experience in climate and public health organising. More recently\, she has spent the past five years establishing Decolonising Economics\, alongside her partner in crime Noni Makuyana. \n\n\n\nRhiannon Mihranian is doctor\, organiser\, and researcher focused on health justice as a tool for radical systems change. Her work focuses on environmental justice\, anti-colonialism\, and re-imagining health systems. \n\n\n\nMartin Drewry is CEO of Health Poverty Action (HPA) – an international NGO part of the People’s Health Movement\, and ally of Medact.

She joined IPPNW as a medical student with an interest in global health and justice and got involved in ICAN at its founding at the IPPNW World Congress in Helsinki in 2006. In her view the abolition of nuclear weapons is not only an urgent necessity because of the acute danger nuclear weapons pose for global survival but likewise a great chance to shift international security policies from being based on the threat of mutual annihilation to a human security system based on cooperation. Having witnessed the constant failure of disarmament conferences as a member of IPPNW Delegations she initiated a study on attitudes towards nuclear weapons among political decision-makers at the University of Hamburg. She has conducted numerous workshops and delivered speeches with a special focus on motivating the next generation to get active for nuclear disarmament and is active in promoting the Ban Treaty in Germany. She served on the board of the German section of IPPNW from 2013 to 2021 and has started the annual IPPNW Summer Camp to protest against the stationing of NATO nuclear weapons in Büchel\, Rhineland-Palatinate.

SUMMARY:Join the fight for Healthy Homes: New joiners meeting
DESCRIPTION:The so-called housing crisis makes the spaces in which we live damp\, mouldy\, insecure and impossible to afford. The housing system prevents vast numbers of families from simply feeling at home\, and calling the place they live a place of safety. Austerity and the commodification of housing has turned the domestic into a site of illness\, violence\, precarity\, insecurity\, and in some cases death.  \n\n\n\nWe need urgent political action to respond to the public health crisis that health workers are witnessing. This requires rethinking housing beyond commodification and taking action to reclaim it as a public health asset. We need to reclaim housing for health. \n\n\n\nIt will take a movement\, with tenants\, health workers and all sectors of society working together to shift the narrative and end the public health crisis in housing. Join us to get involved with the fight for healthy homes! \n\n\n\n In this meeting you’ll: \n\n\n\n\nFind out about the group and our Housing and Health campaign\n\n\n\nUnderstand what we understand by economic and health inequality\,\n\n\n\nHear about ongoing projects and campaigns\,\n\n\n\nLearn how we can fight for housing justice\n\n\n\nHear from some of the people working in our different campaign areas\, and\n\n\n\nExplore the ways you can get involved

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.
