Hours after a devastating fire in Hong Kong, three construction company executives are under arrest on suspicion of manslaughter connected to flammable materials - including bamboo and polystyrene foam - that may have allowed the fire to spread quickly. Meanwhile in UK, 8.5 years after Grenfell with 72 of our kin killed and nothing... Our thoughts and prayers with the victims and families who are going through the most terrible ordeal which we know only too well. Solidarity. Love. And prayers. independent.co.uk/asia/china/hon…

@SarahScobie2 @NuffieldTrust The concept women spend more time in ill health is based on self reporting. We know men are less likely to visit a healthcare professional with similar levels of pain/symptoms to women, isn't it likely they will also under report illness/disability?

In the UK, men are more likely to live with, and die early from, cardiovascular disease (CVD). By responding to @DHSCgovuk's consultation on a Men's Health Strategy, you can help shape the future of men's health in the UK ❤️👇

The @DHSCgovuk is calling for evidence to inform England's first ever men's health strategy. Watch Professor Paul Galdas from our Department of Health Sciences as he talks to GP Dr Mark Perera about some of the issues that have created a life expectancy gap for men.

We have launched a call for evidence to tackle the health inequalities that men face, from cancer and mental health to the 4-year life expectancy gap between men and women. We need men to help shape services they will actually use. metro.co.uk/2025/04/24/you…
