Withdrawing your nation from participation with the World Health Organization.
Tell me you don’t know about global health without telling me you don’t know about global health.
"Current anthropogenic influences have transformed worldwide fire regimes by substantially lengthening fire seasons, irrespective of local land use and fire suppression practices, population density, lightning occurrence, and biome type." www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-5...
My initial thoughts:
1) PH preparedness capabilities.
2) Healthcare infrastructure resilience.
3) Disasters and health inequalities.
3) Disasters and mental health/psychosocial care.
4) Infectious disease & pandemics.
5) Diversity of risks i.e. from bioterrorism to heatwaves.
Lots of options.
Question for colleagues across healthcare, public health and EM. If you had half a day to deliver key messages introducing peers in #emergencymanagement to the crucial intersection of EM with #publichealth and #healthcare, what would you cover?
Interested in global views on this!
I’m an absolute newbie to Blue Sky, so still finding my feet. While I’m grateful to have escaped X, it is a difficult task reestablishing a followers list. Starter packs are such a fab idea.
👋 Hello BlueSky. I’m Alex, a part-time PhD researcher exploring health system resilience to a shifting disaster-hazard landscape due to our changing climate. 🌍
👨🏫 Professionally, I’m an emergency management educator, having recently transitioned from a career in health emergency management. 🏥
If you work in healthcare in England or Australia, and can spare 10 minutes, I would so greatly appreciate your support of my PhD research project.
