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/...
However, this book 📕 gives case studies & explains how health #inequalities have previously been reduced through policies,it’s not impossible. We must believe that things can get better!
Available to read 🆓 online, but I am 40 so I am excited to be reading a real #book 📚😄

✨New #book day 📚✨
When I proposed my #PhD on #inequalities, some were dismissive, saying it is an insurmountable problem….
And after reading the opening page (that in New Orleans there is a 2️⃣5️⃣ YEAR gap in life expectancy between richest & poorest areas 🏚️💰) I can see why people feel that way….1/2
Well done!
Thank you so much
