SUMMARY:AGM 2020
DESCRIPTION:Our 2020 AGM will take place online (on Zoom) on Saturday 12th September\, 11am – 1pm. We are sorry to not be able to organise the usual weekend get-together\, but hope holding the meeting online will enable easy participation for members from across the UK. \n\n\n\nThe meeting will feature: \n\n\n\n\na chance to hear a summary of work over the past year\n\n\n\nconsideration and approval of our annual accounts\n\n\n\nTrustee elections\n\n\n\nmotions from members\n\n\n\n\nAll are welcome\, though only members are eligible to vote on motions and Trustee elections. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP to receive a copy of final papers for the meeting\, and details of how to join the call. \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed] \n\n\n\nThe deadline for submitting motions or Trustee candidates has now passed. \n\n\n\nMotions\n\n\n\n\n‘That Medact should investigate the risks and benefits of civil nuclear power\, noting its clear links with the military industry\, and produce a briefing to be used as the basis for consultation with the membership\, and bring a proposal for policy to be discussed at the AGM in 2021.’ \n\n\n\nProposed: Frank Boulton \n\n\n\nSeconded: Elizabeth Waterston \n\n\n\n\n\n‘That the Board undertakes a review of the Memorandum and Articles to ensure they are appropriate for the organisation that Medact has become and to present these for approval at the next AGM.’ \n\n\n\nProposed: Medact Board \n\n\n\n\nTrustee elections\n\n\n\nTwo Trustees who have served as co-opted Trustees over the last year will be standing for election for a three-year term: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAnne Schulthess is the Marketing manager at the International Institute for Environment and Development. She holds an MSc in Development Studies from the School of Oriental and African Studies\, and prior to joining the communications team at IIED she spent several years as a campaigner at the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament\, and as a programme manager at the stop-smoking charity\, QUIT. She is particularly interested in communicating the linkages between climate change\, biodiversity loss and global health\, and is trying to be a better intersectional feminist and listener to the experiences of people in the global South. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLisa Murphy works at the NHSX Centre of Expertise\, establishing fair value data partnerships for the health service and ensuring ethical technology development. She previously worked as a junior doctor and in Public Health England – developing a passion for addressing health and social inequity through community centred action. This has translated into working with the Medact Migrant Solidarity Group to and drive research and interventions on healthcare exclusion\, as well as coordinating campaigns on the intersection of human rights and the use of technology. \n\n\n\nTwo Trustee who have served a first three-year term on the Board will be standing for re-election\, for a second three-year term: \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJeremy Wight is a ‘retired’ public health doctor\, having worked in hospitals in Derby and Sheffield\, before specialising in public health.  He was Director of Public Health for Sheffield from 2006 to 2015\, and subsequently worked for the National Institute of Clinical and Health Excellence (NICE).  In addition to being a Medact Trustee\, he is also a Trustee of Hope for the Future\, and chairs Hope Valley Climate Action\, as well as being a non-executive director at the Chesterfield Royal Hospital.  He lives in the Hope Valley\, in the Derbyshire Peak District\, and spends as much of his spare time out of doors as possible. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nJonathan Monk-Cunliffe is a medical doctor training in psychiatry. He holds a masters degree in public health and a postgraduate certificate in medical education\, reflecting his interest in both topics. He is currently an NIHR Academic Clinical Fellow\, combining clinical work with research into the physical health of people with mental illness. Jonathan has a longstanding interest in social justice and health equity. As a student\, he was involved with Students for Global Health (formerly Medsin)\, and helped to organise their national conference on health inequalities. He recently helped to re-establish the Medact Sheffield group\, starting a Patients Not Passports campaign on access to healthcare. Having now moved to the South West he is keen to continue this work\, as well as dragging his bike up some of the local hills.

SUMMARY:Monthly Economic Justice Issue meeting: Housing & Income insecurity
DESCRIPTION:The eviction ban is set to end soon\, and the furlough scheme will be ending on the 31st of October. Housing and Income insecurity have been the faultines that have exacerbated the unequal impact of the coronavirus pandemic. They are also barriers in preventing isolating measures working\, as many are afraid to lose income and their livelihoods if they have to self isolate or take time off work. \n\n\n\nThe public health response must address underlying economic determinants of health if peoples wellbeing is to be protected and improved\, especially as the economic crisis deepens\, further entrenching inequalities that have been the lead cause of ill health and suffering. \n\n\n\nAt this meeting you will hear from other members who have been working on an evidence report on these issues\, actions that we can take to prevent the harm caused and plan for a collective public health response that address the dual risks of the pandemic & the economic recession. \n\n\n\nPlease RSVP for joining details. \n\n\n\n[Registration has now closed]

SUMMARY:Fridays for Future ─ online action in solidarity with the climate strikers
DESCRIPTION:One year ago\, members of the health community mobilised to show  solidarity with the Youth Climate Strikers taking action for the Global Climate Strike. As thousands of young people all over the world took action for climate justice\, health workers stood with them\, knowing the extent of the public health crisis posed by climate breakdown. \nThis year\, on Friday 25th September\, Fridays for Future\, the international group representing the climate strikers\, has called for another global day of action. They will be calling for a just and green recovery from Covid-19 that sets us on the right path to tackling the climate crisis. \nOn the 25th\, Medact\, in partnership with Health Declares and Students for Global Health\, will be coordinating an online action for members of the health community to show support for the climate strikers remotely. RSVP now to join us! \n[Registration has now closed]
