The House of Lords continues six days of debate on the King’s Speech today, looking at education, early years and healthcare. The House of Lords is made up of people with a wide range of backgrounds and expertise. One way members bring attention to a topic is through debates, which allow them to raise their concerns with the government. Debates vary in length. Some, such as the debate on the King’s Speech, can last several days. Some debates are short and take 60 minutes between other items of business. At the end of each debate, a government minister responsible for the issue being discussed responds on behalf of the government. Visit parliament.uk/lords for more information on upcoming Lords debate, including a list of members taking part.

#diversityinhealthcare is needed but so is #diversityeducationinourschoolsystems 'Physicians take an oath to “do no harm.” The cessation of prevailing admissions policies may further harm members of society who have long experienced injustices." I pulled this quote out of this article about the Supreme Court's decision on Race-based admissions. While many may think this is only an academic issue, some of us know that it is a major healthcare concern. This will not help or decrease the issue of Healthcare Disparities or inequities that we see in this country. This is an excellent article that speaks to that subject. Sometimes when I bring this up, I get the usual looks but I am good with that because it's America and we all have kids and a future. Another quote "With the Supreme Court’s elimination of the use of race as a factor in admissions, diversity in medical schools, and the medical profession is likely to decline health care disparities will persist, and efforts to advance health equity will suffer." As a Healthcare Professional, when I heard that ruling my first thought was how much worse can it get, forgetting the personal feelings. Lately, I personally have been trying to put the frustration and yes anger of this ruling away but I must admit it has been difficult because it feels personal. Amazing Grace Then a couple of weeks ago a pastor heard said this: He said that when you play the hymn with only the white keys, then you get grace but you cannot play the hymn without the black keys because then that is when you get Amazing Grace. Black does not have to mean only the Black race. He then brought up MLK's "I Have a Dream Speech" and some of my frustration went to hope. (TUCC-08/13/23-Rev.Otis Moss) You may have to research the history of the hymn Amazing Grace to truly understand why both keys are required. Healthcare should be considered sacred ground.#patientadvocacy #stopracialdisparities #amazinggrace After you read the academic journal. Think about The Amazing Grace we have in our world. #patientsfirst

The Physician Pathway Act, championed by Sen. Jason Lewis and others, aims to address the U.S. healthcare system's need for skilled physicians by simplifying the requalification process for internationally trained physicians (ITPs), allowing them to waive residency upon passing the USMLE. 🩺 Key Points: · By 2025, Massachusetts may see 25% of its physicians retire, exacerbating current shortages. · The bill would help ITPs who struggle with the expensive and lengthy requalification process, despite being ready and willing to serve. · Passing the act can enrich healthcare with culturally competent physicians, benefiting diverse communities. Ultimately, this bill could help fill critical healthcare gaps, especially in underserved areas. #Healthcare #PhysicianPathwayAct #MedicalProfessionals #Legislation Daily Hampshire Gazette - Physician Pathway Act, co-sponsored by Amherst rep, may help ease physician shortage (gazettenet.com)

Hello Counterparts, Every society is defined by it's policies, The values and principles that are upheld by it are purely emulated in it's policies, be it in Education, Healthcare, Transport or Social Support just to mention a few.This is why I envy pursuing an advanced degree in public policy in the near future and be at the core of what defines society. #personaldevelopment #careergrowth

When you consider that the big expenditure areas in local government are Education & care / health / well being - isn’t it time to rethink how we manage these services - or at least plan their delivery.? - back to the future! See the Christie commission report from over ten years ago that highlighted the fiscal challenges and how local authorities had to respond- but as is the way - politics and power get in the way…. https://lnkd.in/eBuS9mTT

It's concerning to see rising costs in essential areas like healthcare and education. Addressing these issues is crucial for the well-being of the poor and middle class. It's important for citizens to stay informed and engage with politicians on these matters to bring about positive change.
