Great to see Niamh Mchugh presenting the incredible work she, @RochelleEmbling and others in the fantastic R&E team carried out last summer on young people vaping A model for getting high quality evidence on a complex and rapidly emerging health issue

You've only an hour to get to the final performance, but Odyssey 84 @ShermanTheatre is a fantastic piece of theatre. Hoping it comes back soon, would book again in a heartbeat #cardiff shermantheatre.co.uk/event/odyssey-…

@robinjaymorgan @LittleWander @GleeClubCardiff My daughter (14ys 7 months at the time) loved 'Snip snip ...' - had you not considered material about your GCSEs might appeal to people doing their GCSEs?

A teenager in the front row. He was born in 2007. Absolutely revolting. 🎟️ Come and see me on tour (shows are 14+) 👇🏻 robinjmorgan.co.uk/tour

@AllWalesHA Look after yourself Chris. Hope things better sooner

Feeling sad and lonely.

@ceritheviking @chris_cymru @PHWOAT In UK and esp Wales, you really want to be looking at diffs in healthy LE. Diffs of 20+ years between best and worse off in lots of places

@ceritheviking @chris_cymru's link is the best one for LE in the UK. Hard to go much lower than local authority level (think the US one is by county, some have 1m+ residents) More detailed data for LE in Wales from @PHWOAT phw.nhs.wales/news/inequalit…

Anyone have something similar / good for the Uk

@ceritheviking @chris_cymru @PHWOAT You won't find the same gaps in LE for UK/Wales as in US. opioid crisis and guns account for big part of difference, because they kill younger people, so disproportionate impact on LE. .

@ceritheviking @chris_cymru @PHWOAT Wish Index of Multiple Deprivation will give you a lot of health inequalities data at a lower level statswales.gov.wales/Catalogue/Comm…

@ceritheviking @chris_cymru @PHWOAT Also worth looking at data on Health Maps Wales healthmapswales.wales.nhs.uk

@phupnorth So very many, but as an absolute must read - academic.oup.com/ije/article/30…

Thinking about some of those great public health reads, what would make it onto your PH must read list? A couple of my recommendations to get us started: The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks, Mountains beyond Mountains: The quest of Dr Paul Farmer & Spillover

@benj_barr2 @davidjbuck Also, in planning recalculation of economic costs of smoking in Wales, interesting to think how benefits accrue to individuals (longer life, so extra pension payments), taxpayers (less exp treatment), companies (less sickness absence).... Which we report as a single Big Figure

@davidjbuck I’m not sure there’s a consistently understandable way to put a monetary value on human life. Why not quantify everything (economic policy , infrastructure etc) in terms of marginal impact on quantity and quality of life?

Don't #missell #prevention. I've recently seen people using the spend £1, get £14 back statistic. This is not about magic cash-saving, but return-on-investment, v different, see below. I worry about this. kingsfund.org.uk/insight-and-an…

@benj_barr2 @davidjbuck Isn't this Sean's critique of utility that leads to capabilities approach? Or is that a different angle?

@petticrewmark @felly500 Bought mine in The Gramophone Shop on Donegall Square. So many lost things in one wee name

@cpemmerson @felly500 Mine, Dragnet. Ordered from the local library in NI. The value of local libraries...

The Fall: Lost in Music. Any decent person's desert island disc, surely: //youtu.be/nwt3q_Fq3w0?si=6fpSacMqkwF5ElJ2

@petticrewmark @felly500 My first album was The Frenz Experiment off the back of repeated plays of their cover of 'Victoria'. An fascinating journey into music that otherwise sounded very little like the kinks, or much else on 1980s radio Ulster

@felly500 ABSOLUTELY

@georgeeaton Brought into force in Wales three years ago gov.wales/more-equal-wal…

One thing largely unnoticed in Labour’s manifesto: it will give public bodies a legal duty to reduce inequality (by enacting the socio-economic duty in the 2010 Equality Act for the first time).

Brilliant @sinfoniacymru concert in Barry this morning, inspiring arrangements (more clarinets = even better Mozart), Bach, medieval 🇩🇰, folk + Burt Bacharach 🏚️🎻👏👏👏👏

@culturaltutor Not on the scale of the corporate megaliths, but Belfast has Ireland's oldest stadium (1890) with the finest name of any - Solitude, home of Cliftonville FC

This wave of modernisation is surely for the best, but it's hard not to be nostalgic for the iconic stadiums of old that are now being demolished, renovated, or left behind. Still, all these new and futuristic stadiums will be old one day — and, in time, may even become iconic.

In 1872 the first international football match was held at a cricket ground with 4,000 fans. 78 years later, during the 1950 World Cup, nearly 200,000 people watched Brazil play Uruguay at the Maracanã. This is the story of how football stadiums have evolved...

Very excited to be sharing work with @RochelleEmbling, Niamh McHugh, Anna Koslowska & Lorna Bennett at #ScotPH24 - come and learn how young people in Wales understand vaping - and join our oral presentation on how @PublicHealthW led work to address the issue

@Jeglpang A hunch, but I wonder if analytics is a victim of its own success 'data' and 'analytics' so frequently linked with 'strategy' do people feel only those on the heights of Olympus have permission to engage? 📈📉 = ⛰️?

@derekwalmsley Was at a conference last year at the old Broadcasting House just to the left of that shot and it's genuinely remarkable (still behind pedestrianisation of N side of Trafalgar Sq imho)

Has any bit of London been quite so comprehensively transformed by pedestrianisation as this bit of Strand?
