A new paper I was involved with is out. We reviewed 90 studies on health literacy for people with intellectual disability, their supporters and healthcare professionals. The main finding was it's relational, not individual, distributed across people, relationships and systems - not a skill you either have or don't.

The bit I keep thinking about is that our Lived Experience Reference Group asked why we hadn't captured independent decision-making (we'd focused on shared decision-making). They were right and we went back to answer that.

Open access paper in Health Expectations. Led by my brilliant UNSW colleague Maryann Barrington with a genuinely great team.

😅We wrapped up our last Inclusive HIIT session in Malden this week. It’s been a great series—this group put in some serious work on everything from core, and power to partner drills and strength.

🎯 Beyond the #workout, this series was about #HealthEquity. When we remove barriers and make fitness accessible, every body and every ability can get involved — and thrive.

Rettungsdienst auf eigene Rechnung: Erste Großstadt in Brandenburg lässt Patienten für Notruf zahlen

Wer die 112 ruft, muss zahlen: Weil sich Cottbus nicht mit den Krankenkassen über die Gebührenkalkulation einigen kann, legt die Stadt die Kosten auf Patienten um. Die ersten Rechnungen sollen bereits Ende März ausgestellt werden – zunächst rückwirkend für Januar 2025.
