Busy Up North

This week we’re keeping busy in the lovely North English city of Manchester.

First on Thursday-Friday at the 13th Health & Justice Summit, we’re exhibiting Dr Rebekka Huebner’s excellent quality improvement project on protecting our staff from tuberculosis. And our CMO Rachael has been co-presenting with Dr Sharon Shalev and Dr Richard Kirk (founder of solitaryconfinement.org and Lead GP for Northern Island’s prison service respectively), challenging the status quo of UK healthcare professionals certifying prisoners as fit for solitary confinement.

Then on Saturday Rachael will be opening the CMF Manchester Day Conference by asking delegates to consider becoming ‘catalysts for good in the lives of offenders’. It’s not too late to book.

HCPs v TB

Not-dead woman walking

We’ve long followed the case of abused teenage murderess Christa Pike. Recently, after three decades on torturous death row, she incredibly survived a doubly botched execution. And now she’s once more up and about.
