Excited to be delivering a session on better incorporating geography in intersectional inequalities research at the ISGlobal Spring School in March. It is free to attend and today is the final day to sign up. Further information here: www.isglobal.org/en/-/interna...

📢 New paper! We examine intersectional inequalities in neighbourhood air pollution concentration by area deprivation, ethnicity, education, rurality and age. We find evidence of patterns of inequality which depart from an additive framework link.springer.com/article/10.1...

The #workandpensionscommittee commissioned analysis from @healthequitynorth.bsky.social to estimate the savings to DWP spending if 5% of unemployed or economically inactive people on #UniversalCredit received employment and health support, and moved into employment.

Welcome intervention, commissioned by @debbieabrahamsmp.bsky.social's Work and Pensions Select Committee, to demonstrate that better employment support for disabled people could generate significant fiscal savings, without needing to rely on crude cuts to benefits inews.co.uk/news/politic...

A report released by Health Equity North last month estimates how much money each English constituency stands to lose from their local economies in 2029/30 as a result of the proposed PIP cuts, compared to the current system www.healthequitynorth.co.uk/red-wall-con...

BMJ, @hannahdavies.bsky.social @lukemunford.bsky.social @nataliecbennett.bsky.social and I outline how disability welfare cuts (PIP) will hit the most deprived areas and the north of England hardest (again!), with long term harms @healthequitynorth.bsky.social www.bmj.com/content/389/...

THREAD: The lack of suitable childcare options is inflicting huge financial and emotional strain on some of the country’s most vulnerable families, according to a report by Health Equity North, @newcastleuni.bsky.social & @officialuom.bsky.social 1/9 www.healthequitynorth.co.uk/emotional-an...

'Childcare shouldn't be a luxury' - new work supported by @arcnenc.bsky.social explores the experiences of formal and informal childcare in North East England and offers four key recommendations for reform. Co-authored by @nataliecbennett.bsky.social‬ as part of her ARC NENC Fellowship.

Our research on the effects that PIP changes could have on local economies, written by authors @nataliecbennett.bsky.social @profbambra.bsky.social & @lukemunford.bsky.social, was featured on the @itvpeston.bsky.social programme last night - you can watch the episode on catch up

@nataliecbennett.bsky.social of @sheffielduni.bsky.social has co-authored our report on the impact of PIP changes on local economies, which illustrates how deprived communities have the most to lose from the Government’s proposals www.healthequitynorth.co.uk/red-wall-con...

Hot off the press! Our latest research shows that the availability of community pharmacies has declined in the past decade, with the most deprived areas in England 65% more likely to lose a pharmacy. In BMJ Open: bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/5... #gischat #episky #publichealth #medsky #pharmsky

Our analysis of proposed PIP cuts out today showing potential annual losses of over £20 million in the worst affected constituencies. The top 10 worst affected constituencies are all in the North and are all Labour seats

Great to see coverage of @healthequitynorth.bsky.social analysis. North East and North Wes are set to be the hardest hit - constituencies with highest losses also have lowest life expectancies which means health inequalities are likely to widen even further. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/poli...

Our call for papers on deindustrialisation and health is still open! Bursaries for travel are available. Deadline is 26th Jan, but get in touch if you're interested in submitting an abstract and need some more time. @drmcnamara.bsky.social @profbambra.bsky.social www.healthdivides.co.uk/events

Our new study shows that the #covid vaccination reduced inequalities in mortality bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/1...
