Over 100 people benefited from free health checks today at BEAP, including screenings for high blood pressure, BMI, cholesterol, and diabetes! Big thanks to our partners: @Core20Plus @ActAsOneBDC @Improve_Academy @MyLivingWell1 @DiabetesUK #CommunityHealth #ActAsOne

Wes Streeting calls you and asks for *tangible* ideas he can implement to help NHS improve performance. But there's no extra money for big spending. What's your one idea? #FantasyNHS I'll start - staff passports across regions to free up pointless mandatory training time.

Looking forward to returning to Milat Islamia Masjid next week for our third health check event. In this video, local Imam Ali explains why working with communities is essential in long term CVD prevention and reducing health inequalities @Improve_Academy youtube.com/watch?v=P1tnBI…

In 2022 @CONeillEM began looking at ways we could support our community after anecdotal evidence from clinical staff and the community indicated poor cardiovascular outcomes from ethnic minority communities. We are thrilled it has been nominated for @HSJptsafety @HealthInnovYH

Ciaran is working closely with communities & partners across BDC to make health checks accessible. In this video he tells us how he's working with local imam Ali to bring health checks to faith settings like the mosque. Watch 👉youtube.com/watch?v=P1tnBI… #ReducingInequalitiesBDC

Exciting opportunity within the IA for 2 Research Fellows within our Implementation Science team as part of the @NIHR_ARC_YH Our team provides implementation science support to teams to reduce the timeframe between theory and practice. jobs.nhs.uk/candidate/joba…

Thrilled that our work "how we can improve the care of residents by exploring the experiences of emergency department and care home staff" has been accepted at the QHRN conference!🥳 @lizziesweeting @CONeillEM @Improve_Academy

A huge achievement over the past year and in collaboration many community organisations to deliver health checks in high-risk communities, all underpinned by ConnectedBradford data @AliyaFazil @LawtonTri @HealthInnovYH @CONeillEM @shahid_islam @ActAsOneBDC @MyLivingWell1

Research suggested cardiovascular disease (CVD) disproportionately affects those from the poorest communities; those from the most socio-economically deprived communities are more than four times more likely to die prematurely from #CVD. tinyurl.com/y8ajxew7 #diabetes

Another hugely successful health check event. Thank you to everyone involved for their help and support in setting up and running the event #healthchecks

Some more pictures from today’s health check event! The engagement from the community has been phenomenal!

Congratulations to everyone involved in the Community Health Checks project! It has been shortlisted for an @hsj award in the category Innovation and Improvement in Reducing Healthcare Inequalities! A huge thank you to everyone involved in making it a success @coneillem @lawtontri @bradford4better @uniofbradford @abidarafiq4 @shahid_islam @v1sharma

We wrote an article for the BD5 magazine about the importance of health checks and included a little story about my pal @ShadimHussain along with some basic facts & stats about high BP. This magazine is posted to approx 7000 homes in the Little Horton Ward.

@shahid_islam @CONeillEM @bradford4better @TheDocAhmed @Improve_Academy @AbidaRafiq4 It is truly important that we look after our health and not ignore the signs our bodies give us. It is a pleasure to be featured in the BD5 magazine. Thanks to @shahid_islam for raising awareness on the impact of high blood pressure. 🙏🏽

@shahid_islam @CONeillEM @Improve_Academy @bradford4better @v1sharma Not forgetting the amazing @G_tonCentre who have worked very hard in making sure the event was well attended &providing scrumptious healthy refreshments Great team effort all around. Thank you @CONeillEM &Rubina Burhan centre manager at Girlington Centre. Much needed initiative.

I am delighted to have supported the health check event @G_tonCentre in partnership with the local GP practices. It was great to see over 100s of people in attendance. Sadly, with the number of attendees the demand could not be met. The struggle is real! #savetheNHS

It's absolutely heaving in Girlington Centre today (standing room only) as people from the local community are attending to have their basic health checked. These events are show very high demand. Special thanks to @CONeillEM @Improve_Academy @bradford4better @v1sharma #health

Another great community health checks event. A huge thank you to everyone who supported and helped deliver the event today. @CONeillEM

What a great morning! Thank you @ECS_Keighley - it was a real honour to attend - we met some inspiring young people, with amazing energy & some great questions - the future certainly is bright! ✨⭐️🏆 @sellis79_ @CONeillEM @AmarjotF @Airedaleahps @AiredaleMsk @WYpartnership

Really excited to be at @ECS_Keighley this morning - talking about careers in the healthcare service with some of my wonderful fellows from the YH Future Leaders Programme (so sad our year together is nearly over) and @AiredaleCharity ⚡️⭐️
