PREVENT in the NHS - Medact Manchester
2019-03-07 19:00 - 21:00 | University Place, University of Manchester, 176 Oxford Rd, Manchester, M13 9PL, United Kingdom
Join Medact Manchester for the next evening talk in our Medact lecture series. We are looking forward to hearing from Dr Tarek Younis, a cultural psychologist and Newton postdoctoral research fellow at UCL. He will be discussing his current project, which concentrates on the political responses of healthcare professionals to Prevent.
Prevent is part of the government’s counter-terrorism strategy, and places a statutory duty on many professionals working in public services – including schools, universities and the NHS – to report people whom they suspect of being at risk of “radicalisation”.
7pm at University Place 6.210, Oxford Road.
There will be plenty of time for discussion after the talk, so please join us.
You can find more information on Dr Younis here: https://www.tarekyounis.org/about.html

Momentum Toward Nuclear Weapons Abolition and the Role of Nuclear Weapons States
2019-04-04 12:00 - 14:00 | Medact Office, The Brick Yard, 28 Charles Square, London, N1 6HT, United Kingdom
Join us for a lunchtime meeting and discussion with Chuck Johnson, the Director of Nuclear Programs for the International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War (IPPNW).
We will be discussing the humanitarian and environmental threats posed by nuclear war, the need for a global shift toward denuclearisation through international mechanisms such as the INF Treaty and the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons (TPNW).
In light of the US withdrawal from the INF Treaty and increasing tensions between nuclear weapons’ states India and Pakistan, now more than ever we must be pressuring the UK government and institutions to sign up to the TPNW and enter into discussions with other states to do the same.
The meeting will take place at the Medact Offices, The Grayston Centre, 28 Charles Square, London N1 6HT.
Places are limited for this meeting so registration is necessary, and refreshments will be available.

Ensuring Universal Healthcare in the NHS: Advocacy tools in the context of migrant charging
2019-04-09 18:30 - 20:30
In October 2017 the NHS underwent a fundamental shift in the way it provides care – for the first time since the NHS was founded, Trusts are required to charge patients upfront for treatment.
This event will explore the impact of NHS charging regulations on migrants and the role healthcare workers have in improving access to care for all, both in advocating for patients facing increasing barriers to care, and in protecting the universal principles that underpin the NHS. Medact and Docs Not Cops will launch their Patients Not Passports Toolkit and Briefing: a toolkit to understand the detail of new charging policy, and detail the many ways healthcare workers can advocate for patients.
Event hosted by the Institute of Global Health, Medact, Docs Not Cops, Health Professionals for Global Health.

Fighting Blood Coal and Blood Mines: In solidarity with communities impacted by Anglo American mining
2019-04-30 12:00 - 14:30 | Medact Office, The Brick Yard, 28 Charles Square, London, N1 6HT, United Kingdom
On 30th April, we’ll stand in solidarity with communities whose health and lives have been devastated by Anglo American’s mining operations across the Global South. Join us for lunch, discussions and some practical actions to hold this company to account.
Anglo American – some background
Anglo American operates in many parts of the Global South, leaving a trail of health destruction in its wake.
The Cerrejón open-pit coal mine in La Guajira, Colombia
This mining giant owns a large stake in the infamous Cerrejón mine, a vast open pit coal mine in Colombia. Cerrejón has been long associated with human rights abuses including displacement, a lack of consultation with indigenous communities and serious harm to the health of local communities.
Communities living near the mine are forced to breath air that is heavy with coal dust and filled with the stench of burning. Many children suffer from respiratory problems; some become so ill that they cannot run or shout. Local hospitals are inundated with patients suffering from acute respiratory problems.
In Peru, Anglo American’s Quellaveco project has raised serious concerns and opposition among local people. It is believed that copper mining in this region will use vast amounts of water in an area that is considered at high risk of drought and is heavily impacted by climate change.
There are fears that Anglo American’s mining in Chile is speeding up the melting process of glaciers and leading to their disappearance in some cases. Glacier disruption could have serious impacts on hydrological cycles in the country with potentially devastating impacts for large proportions of the Chilean population.
Anglo American and/or companies that Anglo American has part-owned, have also been associated with armed groups responsible for human rights abuses in the Democratic Republic of Congo. In the Philippines and South Africa, local communities have faced severe repression for protesting against mining operations. And in Ghana and Mali, local people have lived in fear as extractive activities have destroyed health, lands and livelihoods.
Companies like Anglo American are exacerbating global health inequities; their extractavism damages health in the Global South while much of their profits are concentrated in the Global North.
What will the event involve?
Part 1 – Lunch and discussion at Medact
We’ll start with lunch at the Medact offices and discuss some practical action opportunities we can take as a healthcare community to hold Anglo American to account. Including;

How to use twitter and other media to get messages across to investors attending the Anglo American AGM.
Actions we can take to push for legally binding instruments to regulate the activities of multinational corporations like Anglo American.
Using fossil fuel divestment as a solidarity tactic.

Part 2 – Vigil at the Anglo American AGM
We’ll leave the Medact offices at 13.00 and travel as a group to the Anglo American AGM at the Queen Elizabeth II Conference Centre Broad Sanctuary, Westminster, London SW1P 3EE.
We’ll hold a vigil outside the AGM as the company’s shareholders arrive.
Accessibility
If you have any accessibility requirements please contact deirdreduff@medact.org and we can organise travel from Medact to the vigil to meet your needs.
The venue for the vigil itself is flat and the nearest accessible toilets are two minutes walk away in Westminster Central Hall (see building-specific accessibility information). A portable sound system will be used for speeches. There will be some photography and filming with phones and SLR cameras, flash photography is unlikely. There are no seating areas. Email deirdreduff@medact.org if you require a foldable chair or for other information on accessibility.

Join us on Saturday 11 May in London for National Demonstration for Palestine to mark the 71st anniversary of the Palestinian Nakba (Catastrophe).
The Nakba saw the forced expulsion of over 700,000 Palestinians from their homes, forming the largest refugee population in the world at that time, as well as several massacres across the country in cities such as Deir Yassin. Each year, this date is marked by vigils and demonstrations around the world, as well as in Palestine.

We will be joining the UK-Palestine Mental Health Network and the Palestine-UK Social Work Network to form a health and social justice bloc of the protest.

Cuba & International Health - with Dr Enmanuel Vigil Fonseca
2019-06-10 18:30 - 20:00 | Floyer House – Queen Mary’s, University of London, Stepney Way, London, E1 2DP, United Kingdom
In 2009 — as soon as he qualified from medical school in Havana — Dr. Enmanuel Vigil Fonseca began volunteering on international missions. Beginning in Venezuela, Dr. Fonseca joined primary care services aimed at providing medical coverage to vulnerable communities. He then headed to Sierra Leone as part of Cuba’s response to the 2014 Ebola outbreak, which included a total of 12,000 health workers volunteering their support. Dr. Fonseca’s following missions would take him to Western Sahara and Ecuador, where Cuba’s medical brigades responded to flooding and an earthquake.
Dr. Fonseca will join us to discuss Cuba’s healthcare and medical internationalism, providing insight into one of the world’s most remarkable approaches to national health provision and international health. Chairing the discussion is Professor Imti Choonara, a retired paediatrician, emeritus professor in Child Health at the University of Nottingham and Editor in Chief of BMJ Paediatrics Open. Dr. Choonara is also interested in international child health and organises an annual workshop on Child Health in Cuba.
To attend, please register using the form below. We are very sorry that the venue for this event is not wheelchair accessible. We do intend to live-stream the event so that anyone that wants to can join online.
We are grateful to the Cuba Solidarity Campaign for their help with hosting this event. You can read more about Dr. Fonseca on the Cuba Solidarity Campaign website.

Training Day – Sunday 8th September – 9.30 – 4:30pm
On the Sunday we will be hosting a training day for members to get support with the skills, connections and resources you need to effectively advocate for change on the issues you’re passionate about. The main focus of this training day will be on speaking to power. Through a series of exercises we will learn tips and techniques for speaking to decision makers about different campaign issues – thinking about how might we change our language and tactics for engaging local politicians as well as the decision makers who hold the power in our hospital trusts, and other places of work. As part of this you will gain a wider understanding of how Medact campaigns for health equality, how you can take part in this work and what different tactics we can utilise alongside speaking to decision makers to push for the change we want to see.
We will be based at the Medact Office in The Grayston Centre, 28 Charles Square, London N1 6HT on both days. Lunch will be provided – but please RSVP below so we know numbers for this!

Showing that the health community supports the Student Climate Strikers - September Actions
2019-09-20 - 2019-09-27
Millions of children and young people from around the world have been striking on Fridays in an urgent call for action to address the climate crisis. They have called on adults to stand in solidarity with them for a giant week of action on 20th – 27th September.
Members of the healthcare community have been organising actions to support the students in different parts of the UK; use our database of health actions to check if an action has been planned near you.

Click here to find your nearest action

Medact members and other healthcare workers will be attending the London student march on 20th September as a group. We’ll meet beforehand in the Medact offices at 9.45am – and then travel to the march together. You would be very welcome to join us earlier, from 8.30 am, for breakfast and banner making; just email deirdreduff@medact.org so we have an idea of numbers. Our full address is The Grayston Centre, 28 Charles Square, London N1 6HT

If a health action has not been planned in your area, there is still time to plan one! There will be student climate demos taking place all over the UK on 20th September. So we’re asking members of the healthcare community to organise a healthcare presence at your local student demo/march on 20th September (local student demos/marches are listed here). And/or to organise an alternative action, to show your support for the students, in your workplace.
See our action guide on how to organise your own local health events to support the students.
If you’re interested in getting involved, in either an “attending only” or an “organising a local action” capacity, then please RSVP below. This will let us be in touch with further details; we can provide you with support to organise and advertise your local actions.
Finally, it’s important to stress that we are not calling on the healthcare community – and especially patient facing healthcare workers – to strike on the 20th-27th September. Rather we are asking you to use your break periods and/or your days-off to take action to show solidarity with the student climate strikers while keeping patients safe.

‘Do No Harm’ - a meeting about war, the arms trade and health
2019-09-30 19:00 - 20:30 | Medact Office, The Brick Yard, 28 Charles Square, London, N1 6HT, United Kingdom
Earlier this month, over 276 health workers sent a letter to the UK government urging them to stop supporting the arms trade and arms fairs such as DSEI.
We invite you to join us in discussing the impacts of war and armed conflict on health, and of health workers working at the front lines in conflict zones.
We hope to also discuss how the health community can join the campaign to hold the UK government to account for its role, through for example facilitating the sale of arms to countries such as Saudi Arabia, in public health crises abroad as a result of conflict.
Speakers include:
– Rita Dayoub, a Syrian dentist, Academy Associate at Chatham House and founder of Health Workers at the Frontline
– Dr. Sara Beleil, Psychiatrist and Academic Secretary at the Sudan Doctors’ Union UK
– Ann Feltham, Parliamentary Coordinator at Campaign Against the Arms Trade
Our building has step-free access, but this is not permanent, i.e. you need someone to help set up ramp at the front entrance or let you in via the back door through the bike shed. There are “standard” non-wide doorways through to the meeting rooms.

Emergency protest - Stop the persecution of Muslims in India
2020-02-29 16:30 - 18:30 | India House / India High Commission, Aldwych, London, WC2B 4NA, United Kingdom
Citizenship rules have been changed in India by the ruling Hindu Nationalist Party. The amendments made give preferential treatment to certain religious groups, explicitly barring Muslims, to gain citizenship in India. All this has led to communal violence against Muslims, who have had their homes, businesses, mosques and families targeted, most recently in Delhi.
It is important that the international community stands in solidarity with Muslim communities against this persecution and the recent spate of deadly violence in Delhi, before it escalates even further.
Join us at this emergency protest this Saturday 29 February outside India House/ the Indian High Commission in London. Medact staff members will be in attendance from 4:30-6:30pm – and we would love it if members joined us. Address details can be found below.
This protest has been called by South Asia Solidarity Group, SOAS India Society and South Asian Students Against Fascism
If you are planning on joining us at this protest, you can call us on the day to find out where we are – 07851 325 817

Medact Meet & Greet ahead of Lucas Plan screening at MAC Birmingham
2020-03-01 13:00 - 16:30 | MAC Birmingham, Midlands Arts Centre, Cannon Hill Park, Birmingham, B12 9QH
On March 1st, screenings are being organised up and down the country for the launch of The Plan ─ a new feature length documentary following the inspiring story of a group of workers at Lucas Aerospace in the 1970s, who, facing redundancies and industrial decline, came together to make a plan to keep jobs by using the company’s technology and their own skills to make things society needed, instead of military equipment.

THE PLAN Trailer from Steve Sprung on Vimeo.
At Medact, we are really excited about how campaigns such as the New Lucas plan and the Green New Deal are pushing for just transitions from arms and fossil fuel industries to more beneficial and sustainable industries ─ reshaping our economy to one that promotes health and well-being at the same time as equity and social justice.
In the run up to our #HealthJustice gathering in Birmingham on 27th-29th March, we will be hosting a meet & greet alongside the screening of The Plan at MAC Birmingham. Come along and talk to Ben from the office about the role for health workers in advocating for a just industrial transition, our new Medact Birmingham group, our upcoming conference, and how you can get involved. And if you can, stay for the film!
Ben will be around in the MAC cafe before the film starts from 1 – 2pm, and again during the interval 4 – 4.30pm. Feel free to drop by at any point for however long!
Look out for someone with leaflets – or call/text me on 07708260962 if you can’t find me!
