Looking at art for health it has a science base. It’s the effect of fractals on our brain. Art also has a social impact. We need to have affirmative positive images of nurses in our minds & media if we are to transform how nurses are seen & heard. #ArtofNursing #percieconf24 @drjand.bsky.social

Our study suggests that community pharmacies could be a game-changer for #PrEP access in the UK, helping reduce stigma & improve #equity. However, challenges like knowledge gaps & staff capacity need to be addressed for successful implementation. #STIsky #HIVsky #GUMsky #SexualHealth 🛟
