A graphic displaying three key recommendations from The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health. The title reads "Our key recommendations”. The three recommendations are numbered with coloured diamond shapes: 1. Finance gender justice in global health through a ring-fenced gender justice allocation from existing tax on health-harming products. 2. Create a platform collecting monitoring data about gender justice in global health. 3. Determine the need for an international legal definition of gender to create a guardrail protecting the term. The Commission’s logo appears in the top right corner, with geometric triangle shapes decorating the bottom right.
Global health is in crisis - and #genderjustice must be at the centre of reform.

Infographic from The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health, titled: “Advancing gender justice in global health will have benefits for all”. It illustrates the benefits of adopting a gender justice approach in health. Key benefits include reducing health inequities, addressing gender bias, ensuring diverse leadership, and tracking accountability. The visual also highlights barriers to progress such as misunderstanding gender, insufficient investment, systemic influences, and harmful gender norms. At the bottom, a person climbs a ladder toward the centre of a circular structure, symbolising efforts to overcome power and privilege that obstruct progress.
Infographic from The Lancet Commission on Gender and Global Health detailing five action areas to advance gender justice: 1. Develop a shared understanding and framing of gender justice. 2. Improve the evidence base with better data. 3. Promote gender-responsive health policies. 4. Ensure accountable governance systems. 5. Invest in gender justice for global health. On the right, small figures are shown collaboratively building and painting a large statue of Lady Justice, representing collective efforts to achieve fairness and equity.

Pleased that our paper on shaping the narrative on #obesity was among the top ten most cited papers in #ObesityReviews
Particularly pleased to bring a #humanrights dimension that is too often missing

New article in @politicsgenderj.bsky.social with @drorlysiow.bsky.social. We analyze how intersectionality has been used in gender and politics research, and explore how can it be used in ways more closely aligned with Black feminist theory.

I had the privilege of visiting SEACO HDSS in Segamat, Malaysia, housed within Monash University Malaysia.
As part of my PhD at UCL, I am working with SEACO & Monash. I will soon be back in Malaysia – this time for a few months – to work on the health policy aspect of my research.
More soon!
In 2024 @ginnybraun.bsky.social @vicclarke.bsky.social published a critical review of the reporting of RTA in @healthpromint.bsky.social
The tips and pointers are so incredibly helpful, and I have used this paper so often thinking through my own research.

Thank you! Health policy analysts tend to prefer deductive coding against a priori frameworks to generate topic summaries. We thought this approach wasn’t the best for our data (too messy and conflicting), so we opted for RTA. Hope this article demonstrates the value of RTA for policy analysis. 🙏
You rolled over on genocide in Gaza, were told to keep quiet and obeyed. No matter what you say about Trump now, it just rings hollow.
When we look back at Trump’s impact on (global/public) health we’d see that the failure of our response began with the failure of our response on Gaza.
Proud to have been a stakeholder for this important work.
In this work, we also explored the use of Reflexive Thematic Analysis in health policy analysis to better situate power & positionalities, develop analytical depth and generate coherent yet multi-dimensional themes.
Hope this will be of interest! 😊 @ginnybraun.bsky.social @vicclarke.bsky.social

🚨 The findings can also inform our understanding of the wider policy challenges the profession faces in achieving its full potential. This research is timely, given the Ireland COVID-19 Public Inquiry and recent governmental commitments to expanding the role of pharmacists.
/10
💊 Our recommendations:
📜Review legislative and regulatory frameworks governing pharmacy practice
🔀 Better integration between CPs and broader health system, particularly IT
🗣️ Pharmacy bodies develop a cohesive vision and advocate for senior governmental representation
/9
🧩 Overall, the delay can be explained by a complex interplay between technical, socio-political, institutional, and regulatory factors, underpinned by a chronic lack of strategic direction for pharmacy in the Irish health system.
/8
🏛️ 3rd theme: Pharmacy without power to influence policy
This theme highlights the diminished influence of CPs in the Irish health system, due to a lack of strategic and cohesive leadership and the dominance of the medical profession.
/7
❗️ 2nd theme: Unjustifiable delay due to perceived limitations
This theme offers an opposing view to the previous one, where the delay was seen as unjustifiable and attributed to perceived inadequacy in the capability of CPs to deliver COVID-19 vax.
/6
⚖️ 1st theme: Inevitable delay due to operational complexity
This theme presents the view that the delay was inevitable, given the substantial efforts required to overcome operational and regulatory obstacles related to logistics and safety.
