Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on. slate.com/technology/2...

New analysis from @theifs.bsky.social adding more weight to the role that poor mental health - is playing in the rise in disability benefit claims. This problem will only be addressed through a concerted prevention strategy that puts in place the building blocks of good health.

It’s your last chance to comment on London’s new Police and Crime Plan - the consultation ends at midnight on Wednesday, and there’s plenty in there about taking a public health approach to policing and crime 🙌 www.london.gov.uk/programmes-s... @ldn-health.bsky.social
