Stark findings but positive recommendations for action in this latest report from the NHSA
If all you read is the Foreword by @lemnsissay... "This report is a call to government, to educators, to all of us who are participants in this society, of our duty to gift our children equality, no matter where they are born." - but please just read!

After jam-packed 5-day visit to Barcelona as part of the Healthcare Entrepreneur Exchange Programme delegation with @LeedsHospitals @BW_SciTech @NIHRCRN_gman, the NHSA’s @TechHelen and @sarahscally1 have written a blog reflecting on the trip thenhsa.co.uk/2021/10/blog-s…
Last, but by no means least, huge thanks and congratulations to Daniel Moreno and team at @hgermanstrias for arranging such a fantastic programme for the UK HEEP delegation this week! @DrChristopherS1 @The_NHSA ...and the incomparable Josep for herding us cats👏😆
And sadly my part in the UK HEEP delegation is now complete. What a fantastic week it has been! Parting shots of Dil enjoying the digital pathology facilities at @vallhebron @The_NHSA
Looking forward to an excellent programme at this morning on Day 5 of the HEEP programme in Barcelona @The_NHSA
Day 4 of HEEP starts with a visit to @Eurecat Barcelona and our UK clinical entrepreneurs pitch again - pressure is on... 5 minutes only this time! ⏳
We come to our last session of Day 3 in the HEEP UK delegation to Catalonia as @DrChristopherS1 introduces @dr_omar_m, @Annawinf, Emily and Dil to pitch their winning innovations to @biocat_cat @biocat_es and experienced entrepreneur @iBreve for valuable feedback!
Almost time for me to present @The_NHSA to @biocat_es @biocat_cat and explore synergies and collaboration with all in the HEEP programme.
