Our health is dependent on the health of Country – ‘1 week to go until #HEAL2024’
To improve our health and health of future generations, we need to treat our environment with much more care than what we are currently doing, says A/Prof Veronica Matthews, HEAL 2024 Co-Chair
Public health actors must work with policymakers, otherwise health promotion efforts will fail at implementation: Prof Fadi El-Jardali on the political economy of health taxes in Lebanon and Egypt. Great analysis and session! @feljardali @K2PCenter @AllianceHPSR #HSR2024
Wonderful to connect with other members of the technical working group - evidence to action (TWG-E2A) at #HSR2024! Excited to continue to connect with this vibrant group and share ideas #KT #impact #HPSR @H_S_Global
Wonderful to work with amazing teams of researchers in the participating countries and with colleagues in @AllianceHPSR and @WHOWPRO on this project, with learnings relevant to #PHC strengthening across the region @MenziesResearch
Alex Edelman @EdelmanAlex presents findings from the @AllianceHPSR Primary Health Care #PHC case studies in the Western Pacific Region at the Health Systems Research Symposium in Nagasaki ahpsr.who.int/what-we-do/the…
Interesting review presented by @DrJasper1 - a synthesis of studies relevant to #PHC in SEAR and WPR in last 10 years. Findings highlight increasing output; dominant focus on HRH and service delivery, less on information systems, governance & financing @AP_Observatory #HSR2024

Something I see a lot in qualitative research is a lack of analysis. Basically a rundown of what's in the data, but without doing anything with it (analysis). It's the qualitative equivalent of descriptive stats. Short thread.
Excellent presentation by @DiahSaminarsih reflecting on experience in Indonesia - the #HPSR research ecosystem needs to be institutionalised, involving triangulation between researchers, policy entrepreneurs and civil society #HSR2024

So much of our focus in trying to spread improvements is in "explicit" knowledge: toolkits, good practice databases, standardised pathways etc. Most of the content that AI repurposes from online resources is explicit knowledge.
Yet the biggest opportunities are in "tacit" knowledge: the practical "know-how" rooted in people, their experiences, insights & judgements. Unlocking tacit knowledge is how organisations break past their internal barriers to innovate & improve.
Thanks @tnvora for a striking new version of the explicit/tacit iceberg picture. Tanmay has also written an excellent blog on how to unlock tacit knowledge: qaspire.com/the-iceberg-of-o…

How to say no. A superb article: "In a world that often values compliance over authenticity....we find ourselves entangled in a web of obligations, constantly saying yes to requests that may not align with our true desires or priorities. Yet, buried beneath the layers of societal expectations & internalised guilt lies the power to reclaim our autonomy".
This article explains:
- the reasons why we always say yes
- why we should learn to say no
- how to recognise when not to say yes
- tips for learning how to say no
- different (positive) ways of saying no
- how to deal with unwelcome responses
