People who are homeless experience some of the worst health problems in society.Most charitable work around rough sleeping and homelessness centres on social welfare, so a step-down service from acute hospital care for respite, recovery and palliative care is much-needed.In 2012, it was reported that 70% of homeless patients were being discharged from hospital back onto the street, without housing or underlying health problems being addressed.This is further damaging their health and increasing costs to the NHS through ‘revolving door’ admissions.Find out more: mildmay.org/homeless-pathway/ ...

Happy St David’s Day!A land of rugged mountainsA land of finest slateThe sound of rushing riversGives us cause to celebrate.A land of ancient forestsGreen valleys, grazing sheepGives the people of St DavidA land they wish to keep.Follow the red dragon flagIn parades led by Welsh bandsRaise voices in the choirsTo salute this lovely landFor here in Wales, or far awayThe Welsh remember stillAnd on St David's day with prideWear leek or daffodil.Poem by Brenda WilliamsPhoto by Aaron Burdenmildmay.org/our-uk-hospital/facilities-and-services/chaplaincy/ ...

Our President, Lord Fowler has announced that he is stepping down from his role as the Lord Speaker in April 2021.The Lord Speaker is the presiding officer, chairman and highest authority in the House of Lords, analogous to the Speaker of the House of Commons.Lord Fowler has served in Parliament for over 50 years. As he is now independent, he will have the freedom to campaign on issues that are important to him, particularly in the area of HIV and AIDS."Around the world, we have lost the lives of 35 million men, women and children since the onset of the HIV/AIDS pandemic. 35 million. While in addition to that, there are examples beyond count of the persecution of LGBT people worldwide. Even now in 2021, there are some 70 nations where homosexuality is illegal and where there are obvious barriers against people coming forward for treatment. I want to spend the next years campaigning against these modern evils and trying to support the many individuals and organisations in the field who are working to turn the tide."From 1981–1987 Norman Fowler served as Secretary of State for Health and Social Services, during which time he headed the department's response to the AIDS epidemic, and overseeing the implementation of the ground-breaking ‘Don't Die of Ignorance' awareness campaign.
