International Development Consultant. Passionate about all things global health & disability inclusion. Love policy, advocacy & campaigning. Trustee at Global Health Partnerships (formerly THET). Views all my own.
“The age of international aid has ended. The age of co-development is now here.” A sobering thought at the end of the #UKAfricaHealthSummit but one that inspires hope for more equitable & genuine health partnerships to build stronger health systems globally & locally.

Brilliant panel discussion on benefits of health partnerships to the NHS at the #UKAfricaHealthSummit. Examples include increased confidence & skills of UK health workers, learnings on how to improve community-based care and my particular favourite - recognising the importance of ‘civility’ at work.

“Health partnerships work!”. Great statement from Jim Campbell to round off day 1 of #UKAfricaHealthSummit

Listening to how diaspora health workers give up their own time to build stronger health systems in their countries of heritage. Shouldn’t this be harnessed & valued for the mutual benefits it brings to Africa and the UK?

“When people come together and share solutions, nothing is impossible.” A great statement from the Hon. Health Minister of Malawi that speaks to the essence of what @globalhealthpart.bsky.social is all about. Brilliant start to the #UKAfricaHealthSummit.

We’re not talking about aid, we’re talking about mutually beneficial partnerships and learning globally to improve health locally - in the UK as well as Africa. Great opening points at #UKAfrciaHealthSummit from @bensimms65.bsky.social @globalhealthpart.bsky.social

A brilliant day full of great examples of efforts to strengthen the #healthworkforce in Nigeria. Great engagement from so many different stakeholders: academics, diaspora, national & state government, civil society… Feeling very energised for my role as Trustee for @globalhealthpart.bsky.social

A fantastic variety of projects being showcased at Nigeria sharing & learning event - from addressing health worker wellbeing to improving skills on breast cancer care, & strengthening early diagnosis of children with disabilities. Common thread = building a stronger #healthworkforce for Nigeria

Super interesting session on health worker wellbeing at #GHWP learning & sharing event. Strong recognition that health workers need support to look after their own health and need to know that “we care about you”.

H.E. Toyin Saraki making a great intervention highlighting the “urgency to equip health workers with skills to save lives” and celebrating @globalhealthpart.bsky.social #GHWP efforts to achieve this for gynaecologists & obstetricians, equipping them with knowledge & skills for years to come.

“It is all our wish that we will have the health personnel to take care of us”. A great reminder of why investing in the health workforce is so important at the start of the Nigeria learning & sharing event.

“We all need to be champions and advocates for people with disabilities”

“We need to ask if people with disabilities are there, is their involvement meaningful”

“We need to hardwire disability mainstreaming”

“Make a big, big fuss”

Some of the key calls to action from DDG event for #IDPWD

My Saturday morning #bluesky view. A bit more blueish-grey sky but still great to be up and out to enjoy the day.
