It was an absolute joy and a career highlight to give the humanitarian lecture at the iMed conference in Lisbon. My lecture focused on the politics of health We cannot improve our patients' health without engaging in politics and tackling the social determinants of poor health #HealthIsPolitical

2025 has been a year!!! Looking back at 2025, shows how quickly things can change and how much can be achieved. I know grumpiness is all the rage right now, but I’m feeling quietly optimistic for 2026! (touching wood as I type) 😊

Women's health and ethnic inequalities panel at The Labour Party conference Our conversation was honest and upfront about the realities of where we are and how far we still need to go. But also practical and optimistic, with evidence and policy recommendations to address the health inequities

Demand for the weight loss jabs is soaring, and I understand why. In the food environment we live in, it's a constant uphill battle to maintain a healthy weight. Our supermarkets are flooded with food engineered to make you crave more Food advertised as healthy often isn't 1/ #weightlossjabs

I spoke to Austrian News about my disappointment with European leaders. Across Europe and globally, there is a rise in far-right politics, with an associated resurgence of anti-abortion activism In America and elsewhere, we have seen laws introduced to stop women from accessing abortion care 1/

Three weeks today, parliament voted to stop the criminalisation of women—the most significant change in abortion law in 60 years At a time when we have at US president rolling back reproductive rights in America and abroad, the vote sent an important signal to the world that we are pro-choice 1/

I'll be on Sky News tomorrow morning 📺 Giving my two pennies on weight-loss jabs 💉 Tune in live at 7:45 AM 🎥 #weightlossjabs

Last week, parliament voted on the defining two pro-choice issues of our era Assisted dying and abortion decriminalisation I support both, as I believe in choice and bodily autonomy I see my role as a clinician is to support my patients to make the best decision for them, show care & compassion

"I would urge our politicians to show compassion and to vote for choice" @soniaadesara.bsky.social

Our government has a generational opportunity to invest fully in a prevention strategy for the health of the nation. Given the UK’s health crisis, there is a danger of quick-fix solutions taking priority My ✍️ for @lbc.co.uk #obesity #weightlossjabs www.lbc.co.uk/opinion/view...

Tonight there will be a vote to remove women from the UK's criminal law on abortion. Solidarity!

Tomorrow, MPs will be voting on the #AssistedDyingBill I believe at the end of life, everyone deserves choice Everyone deserves to die with care and dignity I urge our politicians, to not take the easy option We can do so much better for dying people #Votefordignity #voteforchoice

Wow, What a day!! 🤩 Yesterday's vote marked the most significant shift in abortion law in 60 years A huge step forward for women’s reproductive rights The landmark vote was the result of SO many people campaigning for many years Grateful to every single person that has helped make this happen 🙏🏾

Record numbers of women in this country are being investigated and prosecuted for suspected illegal abortions 🚨Tomorrow, MPs will be voting on an amendment that could end this Women need support and compassion, NOT prosecution Email your MP now ➡️ bpas-campaigns.org #abortion #abortionrights

“Too often I see structural ills in society can translate into illness and ill health” @soniaadesara.bsky.social opens today’s Health Summit with insights from her frontline experience as a GP

From Analogue to Digital panel featuring, @soniaadesara.bsky.social, @sasjkia.bsky.social and Tim Horton

Hugely enjoyed our Health and Care Mission Summit today, discussing how we deliver an NHS fit for the future and a National Care Service. Thanks to all our speakers including @skinnock.bsky.social, @christinamcanea.bsky.social @metecoban92.bsky.social and @soniaadesara.bsky.social.

Why did people vote for reform? Policies that fail to address the underlying reasons as to why people are so (understandably) angry Will lead to further disenchantment in the long term

On 17th Feb, we hosted: "You Are Not Alone: Solutions to the Loneliness Epidemic (Part II)" Dr @krishk.com OBE (Sanctuary Foundation) Lisa Hollins (British Red Cross) Ryan Rodrigues (SAINT) Dr @soniaadesara.bsky.social (GP & Campaigner) Chair @anyasizer.bsky.social 🔗 youtube.com/watch?v=hMHysNZRG2g

Offering the morning-after pill at pharmacies without charge will reduce financial impact on NHS, say doctors: news.doctors.net.uk/news/1DXZqpa... 🔒 Thanks @soniaadesara.bsky.social @msichoices.org @fsrh.org

I see this almost every day in my clinic. Children are getting breathing problems due to living in cold, damp housing. I have elderly patients telling me they can't afford to put the heating in. #HomesforHealth

I’ll be speaking on the panel tonight of the film screening of the A Word A documentary that looks into the impact of anti-abortion laws on women Tonight at the Frontline club with @the-independent.com

Loneliness touches many of us. It is something I see in my clinic every day. It has a huge impact on health and well-being. Yet, it is often not discussed in politics or public life. Join us to discuss practical solutions and policy recommendations To relieve the loneliness epidemic

I spoke to the Evening Standard about my concerns that many patients are obtaining “weight loss jabs” from online pharmacies and private companies. I am concerned that financial incentives are influencing decisions to prescribe these medicines #ozempic #obesity www.standard.co.uk/comment/podc...

Join us on 17th February at 6:00 PM for "You Are Not Alone: Solutions to the Loneliness Epidemic (Part II)" with: Dr @krishk.com OBE (Sanctuary Foundation) Lisa Hollins (British Red Cross) Ryan Rodrigues (SAINT) Dr @soniaadesara.bsky.social (GP & Campaigner) Link: tinyurl.com/YouAreNotAloneWebinar

We urgently need better regulation & stronger safeguards around prescribing of "weight loss drugs" These are medicines that come with potentially serious side effects Deeply concerning that decisions to prescribe these medicines are influenced by financial incentives www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

It’s not just America Right now, in the UK women are being investigated and prosecuted for suspected illegal abortions #womensmarch #AbortionRights #AbortionIsHealthcare

I've noticed increasing numbers of my patients telling me they do not want to use hormonal contraception We have also seen an explosion of fertility apps and period trackers with varying reliability These apps need more scrutiny. Women need more information & choice www.bbc.co.uk/news/article...

We at Doctors For Choice UK, alongside 30 other medical colleges and women’s rights organisations are calling for urgent intervention from the government To stop the prosecutions of women for suspected illegal abortions #AbortionIsHealthcare www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
