I have been a partner for twenty three years. I am also a GP trainer and coordinate the medical student (Hull York Medical School) teaching in the practice. With psychotherapy colleagues I have been facilitating pioneering group work with people with long term conditions in order to enable people to be better able to take control of their health and well-being. I have been collaborating with researchers at Hull University on this work. \nI have all my adult life felt strongly about social justice and environmental sustainability. Over the past few years\, and in particular since attending the Medact conference “Healthy Planet\, Better World” in 2016\, I have become much clearer that I need to become active in the movement towards a fairer and more sustainable world. My colleague Angela Harvey and I launched Yorkshire Medact last year and have been involved in anti-fracking campaigns in Yorkshire and Lancashire. \nNow 55\, I am able to devote more of my energies to working with these issues as I reduce the time that I devote to the practice. I am keen to become more involved in Medact’s work as I see Medact as a far-sighted organisation that ‘punches above its weight’ in terms of what it achieves for its size. I believe that working with such a broad remit (peace and security\, climate and environment\, economic justice and human rights) crucially enables the links to be made between all these areas. For all these reasons I would be very interested in joining the Medact board. \nLesley Morrison\nLesley Morrison is a retired GP\, still involved  in medical student teaching\, who has been an active member of Medact since its inception and a member of MCANW prior to that. She has always felt passionately about the need to rid the world of nuclear weapons  and about the importance of Medact’s work to show that disarmament\, development\, human rights and concern for the environment are inextricably interlinked. \nLiving just south of Edinburgh\, she would represent the views of Medact Scotland. \nNeena Modi\nProfessor Neena Modi is a consultant at Chelsea and Westminster Hospital and professor of neonatal medicine at Imperial College London. She completed a three year term as president of the UK Royal College of Paediatrics and Child Health in March 2018. She heads a major neonatal research programme focused on the perinatal determinants of lifelong health\, and led the development of the UK National Neonatal Research Database\, of which she is the current director. \nProfessor Modi has made many contributions to children’s services\, and has been at the forefront of reinvigorating the clinical research base of paediatrics and child health. During her career she has served\, among many other roles\, as president of the UK Neonatal Society\, president of the Academic Paediatrics Association of Great Britain and Ireland\, and chair of the British Medical Journal ethics committee. She is currently president-elect of the Medical Women’s Federation. \nKitty Mohan\nKitty is a Consultant in Communicable Disease Control based in London and Oxford. A medical doctor by background she completed Public Health training in London in March 2018 and was awarded a PhD in Epidemiology from King’s College London in 2016. \nShe is the President of the European Junior Doctor Association\, which represents the interests of 300\,000 junior doctors across Europe. She was a member of BMA Council from 2013-18\, has previously been Director of the BMA \,and was joint lead negotiator for junior doctor contract negotiations whilst Co-chair of the Junior Doctors Committee between 2013 and 2015. \nDirections to Kinning Park Complex\nThe Kinning Park complex is conveniently located immediately adjacent to Kinning Park Underground station which can be reached coming from either Buchanan St [ for Queen St mainline] or St Enoch’s [for Central station].

SUMMARY:Recognising and acting on medical sequellae of human rights abuses - Training in Oxford
DESCRIPTION:A recent survey of 199 clinicians in the Northwest Region revealed that 55% had encountered a torture survivor in their NHS practice; most lacked confidence in how to help these patients. \nMedact\, Asylum Welcome Oxford and Forrest Medico-Legal Services have partnered to organise a special teaching session to train interested doctors\, nurses and counsellors in methods of documenting\, in a a very limited way\, clinical evidence of human rights abuses previously suffered by the detainees they are visiting. \nThis documentation would not  take the form of full Medico-Legal Reports (MLR) which are compliant with the Istanbul Protocol. But even a short letter can sometimes assist detainees in achieving release and beginning to establish their case for international protection. Moreover\, such documentation is very useful to lawyers in seeking an MLR if indicated. \nIf time allows\, the training will also cover entitlement and barriers to NHS care. \nThe training is free of charge for members of Medact or Asylum Welcome. \nFor more details\, please contact Frank Arnold at Medact or Almas Farzi at Asylum Welcome.

SUMMARY:Panel Debate on Overconsumption vs. Overpopulation - KCL Sustainability Week
DESCRIPTION:What is the true driver of environmental\, social and economic disorder in the 21st century?\nThe world is confronted with a multitude of environmental\, social and economic challenges. \nHow do we contain global warming? How do we feed\, provide for and educate the 10\, 11 or even 12 billion people expected this century? And what about biodiversity? Surely\, the fishes\, insects and animals need a home too? After all\, they were here first. \nIt is unquestionable that a rapidly growing global population places additional pressures on our ecosystems\, communities and politics. But is mitigating the above challenges merely a question of reducing or stabilising population growth? Or is challenging and changing our consumptive ways the answer\, particularly as we are consuming more resources than in any other time in the history of civilization? \nIs there room for 12 billion to thrive if we change our diet\, switch to renewable energy across the globe or implement genuinely progressive reforms to wealth redistribution and land access? \nAddressing these questions with evidence\, compassion and an open-mind will be key to ensuring a stable planet with thriving citizens for centuries to come. \nWe encourage you join us as and a diverse panel of speakers as we get to grips with one of the defining issues of our time in one of our headline events for Sustainability Week 2017. \nThe event will be chaired by Olivia Preston\, Operations Sustainability Manager at King’s and panellists include: \n\nAsad Rehman – Senior Climate Campaigner\, Friends of the Earth\nKate Raworth – Author of Doughnut Economics and Visiting Research Associate\, Oxford University’s Environmental Change Institute\nAlistair Currie – Head of Campaigns\, Population Matters\nDavid Powell – Environment Lead\, New Economics Foundation\n\nEntry is on a first come\, first serve basis. \nFor details of other events happening during Sustainability Week\, please visit our blog: \nhttp://blogs.kcl.ac.uk/sustainability/week/

SUMMARY:Oxford Health Through Peace Network Day
DESCRIPTION:Medact believes that health professionals are uniquely placed to address the root drivers of war and conflict; and to work towards peace and a more sustainable idea of security. In November 2015\, we ran the ‘Health Through Peace’ conference which saw 700 members of the health community come together to discuss the impact of war\, violence and militarism on health. \nSince then\, a growing group of health students and professionals have been taking forward the energy and vision of this conference. See more about their recent activity on this page! \nWe need to harness our collective skills and energy\, and work together to be effective drivers of a strong and sustainable movement for peace. The Oxford Health Through Peace Network Day is an opportunity for health professionals and students working on issues related to peace and security in and around Oxford to network\, promote their campaigns and events\, and more generally begin to work as partners in the Health Through Peace movement. It’s also an opportunity for members of the health community who wish to be involved in the movement to find out more! \nIf you would like to join us\, please get in touch with Rhianna at rhiannalouise@medact.org \n

SUMMARY:Medact - How to build a movement? (Post-AGM Event)
DESCRIPTION:Building strong movements is more important than ever … can you lend Medact your ideas and enthusiasm to help us better understand how we can be more effective\, and how we grow? \n    Come together with Medact supporters\, staff and trustees on the afternoon of Saturday 20th June to lend your ideas and creativity in a series of workshops looking at how Medact can be more effective\, and how we can best support and nurture our grassroots movement. This is a great chance to learn how you can get involved in our work over the coming months\, and let us know what you think we should be doing.  Saturday 20th June at Friends House (London) – 1.30pm to 5pm (followed by drinks)  –  \nProgramme\nWelcome (1.30pm)\n A short welcome and introduction from Medact’s staff team.     \nCampaigns Update  (1.45pm)\n Hear from Medact staff and project coordinators about recent developments in Medact’s campaigns and projects – including fossil fuel divestment\, preventing torture\, fracking and renewing trident.  This will be an open session in which questions and discussion will be encouraged. It will be followed by a chance to ask questions to the Medact team – come and quiz us on what we’ve done well and what we could do better!  \nUpdate Agenda \nWelcome – Sridhar Venkatapuram \nCommunications & Media – Victor Ponsford \nPreventing Torture – Frank Arnold \nNuclear Disarmament – Frank Boulton \nFossil Fuel Divestment – Zoe Steley \nPeace – Christopher Venables \nFracking – David McCoy \nFood\, farming and climate – David McCoy \n Focussed Discussion Groups  (3.00-4.00pm)\n Gathering a thousand health professionals for peace: making our November conference a ‘Big Thing’!   In November of this year\, Medact is leading a coalition of organisations – including  The Lancet\, Saferworld\, Oxford Research Group\, Health Poverty Action\, Kings College London\, Quakers in Britain\, Campaign Against Arms Trade and others – to hold a major two-day peace conference at Friends House in London. We’d like to make this event a ‘Big Thing’! But\, with only a small amount of staff-time\, we need the energy and enthusiasm of our members and supporters to help make this happen. We’ll be briefly introducing the conference\, and then asking you for ideas on how we can make Health Through Peace an event to remember! This will be a good chance to get involved in organising a major conference.   Growing Medact from the bottom-up: How do we grow and nurture active membership amongst a busy and over-stretched workforce?   Medact has a number of active local groups\, but we’d like to support more of our members to become active in their communities – taking our campaigns and resources to new audiences\, and providing a local platform for the enthusiasm and energy of health professionals. We have 1000 members – and new people joining every week! – but we have little capacity in the office to be able to support and nurture the membership. We’d like to listen to your ideas of how we could better support you in developing local groups\, and rethinking what Medact’s members can do in their local communities.  Making a small organisation strong: How do we maximise Medact’s full potential to influence and make change happen?   We know that doctors and health professionals in general are well respected and trusted. We know that public health evidence –based on sound epidemiology and rigorous policy analysis – is powerful. And we know that most health professionals want to see a fairer\, better and safer world. But largely speaking\, the health community remains a weak player in politics. It failed to prevent the dismantling of the NHS. It has failed to reverse the widening of health inequalities. And it has not reduced the threats of catastrophic human harm from nuclear war and climate change. So how can we do better as a health community\, and how can Medact help as an organisation? We want to hear your ideas and suggestions.     \nComing Back Together (4-4.30pm)\n After we’ve broken into the smaller groups\, we’ll briefly come back together and give each group an opportunity to report back.     \nSocial (5pm onwards!)\n We’ll be going for a drink afterwards in a room above a local pub – snacks may be provided!

SUMMARY:Global Health Justice Lecture - The pharmaceutical industry\, TTIP and health
DESCRIPTION: 5th Lecture: The pharmaceutical industry\, TTIP and health\n    Date: Weds 25th Feburary Time: 6:00 pm – 7:30 pm  Location: The Bainbridge Room on the second floor of the Robin Brook Centre – Queen Mary University at St. Bartholomew’s Hospital followed by The Rising Sun pub at 7:30pm (more details below).     In this fifth lecture Deborah Cohen\, Investigations editor at the BMJ and Dairmaid McDonald\, Advocacy Manager at STOPAIDS and Dr Courtney Davis from KCL will be discussing the impact of pharmaceutical companies\, trade agreements and international markets on health in the UK and overseas.     Chaired by Dr David McCoy (QMUL & Medact)     Directions: Enter St Bartholomew’s Hospital through the main entrance to reach the courtyard and turn right. When you reach the building\, do not walk straight ahead into the building\, but turn left into the small alley. The entrance to the Robin Brook Centre is via the steps in the alley. We usually head to The Rising Sun pub for drinks and discussion afterwards at 7:30 so please do come along if you want to meet the team and find out more about Medact and our work.     https://globalhealthjustice.wordpress.com/  –  Dr Deborah Cohen (BMJ)   Deborah Cohen is currently investigations editor at BMJ. She graduated from Manchester University having studied medicine with French. Prior to graduating she took an intercalated degree in journalism at Westminster University and worked on a newspaper in Ghana covering health issues. After qualifying\, Deborah became editor of the Student BMJ and started to report for the BMJ from places such as the West Bank and Kenya. She subsequently became editor of an academic section of the BMJ before becoming the first features editor. After collaborations with Channel 4 News and the Cochrane Collaboration\, the Bureau of Investigative Journalism and Panorama\, the BMJ decided to have a dedicated investigative journalism post. Deborah has since worked with the Centre of Evidence Based Medicine at Oxford University\, Newsnight and Dispatches covering a range of issues from drug and device regulation to buried data and conflicts of interest.  Diarmaid McDonald\, Advocacy Manager (STOPAIDS)  Joined STOPAIDS in January 2010 where he currently leads the campaigning and advocacy work on the financing of the AIDS response and access to medicines.

Dr Courtney Davis (KCL)   Courtney is a medical and political sociologist with broad research interests in the intersections of science and technology policy\, business regulation and public health. For over ten years she has undertaken empirically-based\, policy relevant international comparative research investigating the socio-political\, economic\, cultural and scientific factors underlying trends in regulation and the implications of current techno-scientific standards for public\, patient and worker health in relation to two distinct fields of inquiry: pharmaceuticals and occupational health and safety.     Global Health Justice (GHJ) is a new public lecture and discussion series organised by the London-based charity Medact and Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) focusing on the socio-political determinants of health. GHJ aims to bring a strong social science and humanities perspective to global health and provide a space for students\, campaigners and academics to discuss\, debate and exchange ideas that will challenge and push forward both research and policy.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
