I’m looking forward to discussing the importance of the meaningful engagement of communities and civil society in relation to the COVID-19 response and beyond.
There is a long standing history of meaningful engagement of communities most affected by health emergencies, such as HIV and Ebola, in bringing about effective responses.

*URGENT* A plea from an ITU doctor. Write to your MP to raise awareness of #LongCovid#covid1in20#covid1in10 cases and call for research and support... a thread.
I am an ITU doctor and have been unwell for nearly 13 weeks. As a doctor, I feel that I have a
responsibility to help bring #LongCovid to the attention of politicians and the medical and scientific communities. Please write to your MP with your concerns and share the attached information if helpful. Thank you to Baroness Bennett @natalieben and @jamesowild for their help
