An honour to have met Rt. Hon Prime Minister Robinah Nabbanja this week, discussing #HealthPartnerships between Uganda & UK together with High Commissioner, H.E Nimisha Madhvani. Vital encouragement in very challenging context #globalNHS #QualityUHC #ExpertsInOurMidst

I am full of gratitude for the wisdom & direction of H.E Ambassador Catherine Karemu, Kenya’s High Commissioner this morning, given as I prep for @globalhealthpart.bsky.social’s #globalhealth events in Nairobi with @drbeccycoopermp.bsky.social next month. #HealthPartnerships #CwPAMS #globalNHS #AMR

Agreed 👇👇 www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

An extremely positive day spent with www.ldid.org. Present in a professional capacity. Inspired in a personal capacity... The UK "has lost moral leadership" Lord Oates... "This is a crisis & @libdems.org.uk are best placed to fight back" @monicaharding.bsky.social. Well... yes & yes, no?

"In many areas of the UK–from East London to Leicester to Leeds–international staff are the #NHS. For diverse communities, their cultural insight can mean the difference between a patient engaging with care or slipping through the cracks." #globalNHS #HealthPartnerships www.hsj.co.uk/workforce/po...

"The 2021 military coup in #Myanmar has devastated the nursing profession, reversing a decade of fragile progress and exposing the vulnerability of healthcare systems in politically unstable contexts." Congrats @rcn.org.uk @rcpch.bsky.social on your support. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/...

I am grateful to Primrose Magala for allowing me to celebrate her achievements in this blog @hsj.co.uk. Truly, one of the #ExpertsInOurMidst. An outstanding individual improving life for patients at home here in the UK, & at home, there in Uganda. Thank you Primrose. 🙏 #globalNHS

"The #NHS has always been a global story. It’s time we told it that way - with pride, pragmatism, and a plan rooted in achieving the best outcomes for UK patients." My blog in @hsj.co.uk #ExpertsInOurMidst #ONHSWD #HealthPartnerships #QualityUHC www.hsj.co.uk/workforce/po...

💡 “NCDs are the leading cause of death worldwide, yet remain under-prioritised. Prevention, early detection and care must be embedded in strong primary health systems.” – Louise McGrath of @globalhealthpart.bsky.social. The UK must step up. ✍️ Add your voice: tinyurl.com/288a27w2 #LeadOnNCDs

'Postpartum psychosis - maternal mental health and support.' Just finished listening to another hugely important podcast from Theo Clarke. Particularly moving to hear Sally MacWils share her own experience. Thank you. podcasts.apple.com/kw/podcast/s...

Enormous pleasure to have joined Prof Mala Rao @parthaskar.bsky.social @gjsathyamoorthy.bsky.social yesterday. Grateful for the rigour of the #MWRES analysis as to how racism plays out across the #NHS. Vital alignment for @globalhealthpart.bsky.social as we develop our #ExpertsInOurMidst programme

Noncommunicable diseases (NCDs) cause 75% of deaths worldwide. Health systems can’t tackle this crisis without strong workforces. 🧑‍⚕️ Our new policy brief sets out 4 priorities to change this, read it here: www.globalhealthpartnerships.org/wp-content/u...

Fantastic to be in Cardiff with @globalhealthpart.bsky.social Cymru volunteers. Packed conference centre & wide ranging discussions exploring the connections between Wales & the world. #ghpc2025 #HealthPartnerships hubcymruafrica.wales/event/ghpc2025/

You have been a fantastic champion for #Myanmar during your time with #FCDO @catherinewestmp.bsky.social. Thank you.

This morning I have travelled from the Philippines to Poland via Iran. How so? I had a 30 minute appointment at an #NHS hospital. Where would the NHS be without its internationally recruited staff?Thanks to each & every one. #globalNHS #ONHSWD #NHSInternational #ExpertsInOurMidst

Congratulations Julian Rosser on your appointment as Head of @hubcymruafrica.wales hubcymruafrica.wales/news/julian-.... I very much look forward to celebrating with you in person this Monday at “Transforming Policy: Advocacy for Global Health Equality” hubcymruafrica.wales/event/ghpc20...

V excited to be contributing to this conference in Cardiff in September, organised with @hubcymruafrica.wales. Join us! I'll be asking how #EquitablePartnerships can reshape #UKAid in a way that advances #healthequity both at home & overseas. hubcymruafrica.wales/event/ghpc20...

“We can see that there is an aspiration to continue [UK leadership on #AMR] but it just doesn’t look credible, because there are no financial figures accompanying the aspiration” #CwPAMS #UKAid #HealthPartnerships @maevecullinan.bsky.social www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

'Scotland’s international health engagement is rooted in a profound sense of justice. It’s not just policy–it feels personal. This is a #HealthPartnerships programme grounded in values, not charity & rooted in deep national experience.' Still buzzing. www.globalhealthpartnerships.org/improving-ac...

So many highlights from my time in Scotland last week. My trip to see the phenomenal @kidsoperatingroom.bsky.social in Dundee being one of them. They simply never stop innovating. Truly impressive. 👏 👏 #globalhealth #qualityUHC www.kidsor.org/our-work/ope...

“Demonising migrants won’t fill jobs or boost falling populations... We’re starting to see how this could play out in the healthcare sector, where global demand for migrants is insatiable” #ExpertsInOurMidst observer.co.uk/news/nationa...

"In an era marked by deep cuts to #UKAid, it is nothing short of inspiring to witness @scottishgov.bsky.social stepping forward with principled, ethical leadership." #UKAid #GlobalCitizenship #HealthPartnerships #UHC #GlobalHealth #NHSScotland www.globalhealthpartnerships.org/improving-ac...

‘Tackling racism means ‘questioning our very existence’, international development leaders warn.’ Pleased to have led in drafting this letter www.thirdsector.co.uk/tackling-rac...

Daily Telegraph story a sobering reminder of impact #UKAid cuts will have on global #healthsecurity. @globalhealthpart.bsky.social has worked since 2018 to develop kind of partnerships that Minister Dalton supports: globalhealthpartnerships.org/wp-content/u.... www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

'Spending review boosts NHS funding but slashes #UKaid.' The welcome/unwelcome headline in @globalhealthpart.bsky.social newsletter this month #HealthPartnerships #QualityUHC #globalNHS #ExpertsInOurMidst mailchi.mp/thet/your-gl...

👏 So important.👇 Fantastic opportunity to learn more about @globalhealthpart.bsky.social recent study on #healthworker #wellbeing with 4000 health workers across #Kenya, #Nigeria and #Ghana under the #UK DHSC Global Health Workforce Programme. Thank you @margaretcaffrey.bsky.social

I have sent a letter to Chancellor Rachel Reeves following the recent Spending Review ✉ I welcome the government’s commitment to the NHS and global health security but we must remain vigilant to ensure the UK continues to lead on global health and development🌍💚 #GlobalHealth

Pleased to have drawn this #NHS staff letter to Minister Chapman's attention in 2day's @bondngo.bsky.social 'Town Hall' meeting. I confess I struggled to hide just how upset I feel about @labouruk.bsky.social decisions on #UKAid. This letter shows that I am not alone. #ExpertsInOurMidst #globalNHS

Today’s #SpendingReview boosts the #NHS, but confirms #UKaid reduced to 0.3% of GNI. Last week, we brought together 24 UK diaspora health leaders to call for renewed UK leadership. Their warning? 👇 Slashing global health budgets “will make us all sicker.” #HealthForAll #ODAcuts #DiasporaVoices

Such a pleasure to be spending the day celebrating the achievements of #CwPAMs with @globalhealthpart.bsky.social’s partners at CPA. We start by acknowledging the leadership of Dame Sally Davies & the support of @dhsc-answers.bsky.social. #UKAid #HealthPartnerships #globalNHS

💬 "global health isn’t charity. It’s a vital investment in our own safety, economy and NHS resilience." Great thought leadership from @globalhealthpart.bsky.social' CEO @bensimms65.bsky.social. The Gov cannot forget that ODA boosts the UK's own health + prosperity. 👇 bit.ly/3Hvy4T8

"Thomas Frank hasn’t just coached @brentfordfc.com - he's defined them. Since taking over in 2018, he’s crafted a club culture that’s both humble and fearless." Thomas, if you're listening, don't go! beesotted.com/thomas-frank... #youBees

Why slashing spending on global health will make us all sicker Robust global health is a vital investment in our own safety, economy and NHS resilience, writes @bensimms65.bsky.social in our latest op-ed Link here🔗 www.telegraph.co.uk/global-healt...

"Let’s get real about public support for UK aid." I think Gideon Rabinowitz @bondngo.bsky.social is right to call on @ukgovernment.bsky.social to champion #UKAid, even as we recognise diminishing importance of 'aid' in driving equitable global partnerships. www.bond.org.uk/news/2025/06...

🚨 NEW BLOG: “Reflections from #WHA78: A Year of Crisis and Commitment” 🩺by our CEO @bensimms65.bsky.social. From funding cuts to rising pressures on health systems, now is the time for renewed global solidarity.👇 www.globalhealthpartnerships.org/reflections-...

"65% believe #UKaid should be aligned with British priorities. This is not a barrier—it is an opportunity. It gives @ukgovernment.bsky.social a mandate to reframe aid as investment in the UK’s own health, economic resilience." #globalhealth www.globalhealthpartnerships.org/we-need-a-ne...

“It costs approximately £327,000 to train a doctor in the UK to Foundation Year 1. Recruiting doctors & nurses trained overseas has saved the UK taxpayers hundreds of millions of pounds.” #UKAid #globalhealth #expertsinourmidst #HealthPartnerships www.globalhealthpartnerships.org/we-need-a-ne...

"None of my previous experience prepared me for the root & branch change of outlook triggered by the #BlackLivesMatter movement." 5 years on from the brutal murder of George Floyd, I see the world in a new light. Grateful for what I have learnt. Sharing here: www.bond.org.uk/what-we-do/a...
