Being united by unique means recognising the distinct needs of people living with SMHD and acting on them. Itโ€™s the right thing to do.

At the #HealthInequalitiesLab at #UCD's SchoolofPsychology, through the #30YearMortalityGap project, we are committed to closing it (or narrowing it) by tackling structural, policy, and proactive inequalities in cancer care. 2/3

On this #WorldCancerDay, themed #unitedbyunique we are asking a hard but necessary question: why do people with pre-existing severe mental disorders (SMD) still face a #30-year mortality gap after a cancer diagnosis? This gap is not inevitable. Itโ€™s systemic, and itโ€™s fixable.
