Dr Beccy Cooper MP

The UK is part of a global health system & benefits from a global health workforce 🌍 We want to be a welcoming, safe & sustainable country 🤝 With thanks to the Sussex Hospitals Trust & The Global Health Partnerships for their support in this work 🩺🏥📽️

What would access to 24/7 mental health support do you for you? The Government has responded to our report on Community Mental Health Services.

We were delighted to gather in the House of Commons' Terrace Pavilion last night to celebrate the launch of the APPG Global Health & Security Co-Investment Inquiry report. Hosted by APPG Chair Dr @BeccyCooper4Lab MP, the event featured remarks from Rt Hon Sir Andrew Mitchell MP and Dr Iziaq Adekunle Salako, Minister of State for Health and Social Welfare in Nigeria - alongside friends and collaborators from across the global health community, including several visiting ministers of health from countries across Africa and Asia. Thank you to inquiry committee for their continuous focus on this important issue: ➡️ Dr Rebecca Cooper MP ➡️ Rt Hon Sir Andrew Mitchell MP ➡️ Monica Harding MP ➡️ The Rt Hon. the Baroness Prashar CBE ➡️ The Lord Crisp KCB Full report is available here: globalhealthpartnerships.org/new-appg-repor…

#Gambling - an industry out of control doing enormous damage to individuals and communities thetimes.com/uk/london/arti…

1 in 5 NHS workers are international saving the UK £1.1 billion in training costs last year UK training will increase but international recruitment will remain 🌎 This must be done responsibly, ensuring workforce mobility is fair for all Read more here👇 theguardian.com/society/2026/m…

“A more proportional system could better match votes to representation. The All Party Parliamentary Group on @FairElectionsUK has proposed a National Commission be set up to find a consensus” - Dame Joan Ruddock @joan_dame @electoralreform in @LabourList labourlist.org/2026/03/letter…

If the UK benefits this substantially from health workers trained elsewhere, what responsibility does that create? #UKGlobalHealthConference #HealthPartnerships #globalNHS #ExpertsInOurMidst globalhealthpartnerships.org/why-the-future…

Today, we publish a new cross-party parliamentary inquiry report examining the UK’s reliance on internationally trained health workers and the case for fairer, more sustainable co-investment in source countries. Read the report on our website 👇 globalhealth.inparliament.uk/news/appg-publ…

The rumours confirmed. The CEO of the Gambling Commission who's presided over a period of unprecedented national damage caused by lax regulation, is going to become a lobbyist for the gambling sector. How does this keep happening?

The EFL meet today and will discuss the #3UP campaign to give an extra promotion place to the @NL_Enterprise. My advice? Listen to the legend and 3UP campaign ambassador @JeffStelling 👇👇

Ending the AIDS crisis is within reach – but the UK has to lead the way by not cutting key funding trib.al/6zBsDLd

Thank you so much to all our speakers, our local Age UK colleagues and our friends at @RCN @RCollEM & @GeriSoc for coming and for all your hard work. And a very special thank you to our MP sponsor @BeccyCooper4Lab for hosting the event, we really appreciate your support.

As you can see from my 2023 campaign video, my experiences with cancer have driven me: from running to be an MP to being a Health Minister. I’m so proud of our Cancer Plan: cancer patients are at the heart of this plan because there is a cancer patient at the head of this plan.

Nice from today's National Cancer Plan: NHS to cover travel costs for families of children with cancer. Big aim: by 2035, 75% of patients cancer-free or living well 5 years after diagnosis, saving 320,000 lives. Plus £2.3bn for early testing. End of postcode lottery. Let's do it!

Britain’s piers are more than Victorian seaside relics – they define the British coast We’re calling for a ‘National Pier Service’ or ‘National Piers Trust’ to manage, preserve and regenerate many of these iconic structures ✍️ @BeccyCooper4Lab & @patrick_hurley politicshome.com/opinion/articl…

🚑 We took the Corridor Care crisis to Parliament🚑 Over 90 MPs came to our event to speak to us about fixing long A&E waits. An amazing turnout 🎉 Thanks so much to our campaigners for making it happen ❤️ Together, we'll protect older people from unsafe, undignified care.
