Our PI, Professor Magdalena Harris, is speaking at #HR23 on Tuesday at 2pm alongside amazing speakers! Join her in room 219🤩
On behalf of the iHOST team, we are devastated to hear the news the Margaret Centre is closing after 22 years. This closure will have a detrimental impact on clients and we are saddened by this loss of valued, essential care provided by an experienced inter-disciplinary team.
Breaks my heart. From old interviews with MC clients: "the only people that have given me support is here", "she never turns her back on me", "I don't have any confidence in other services", "I come here because of K. She gets me help". Loss also of valued @iHOSTstudy partner :(View quoted post on X
iHOST is guided by a framework called cultural safety. Cultural safety principles aim to reduce health care practices that cause marginalised patients to feel unsafe and powerless. Read more about the context and methods of iHOST here: lshtm.ac.uk/research/centr…
