Private ambulance service to offer £99 call-outs + charge for waiting as Brits face 12-hour waits for paramedics. Two-tier service. The rich can pay, others face misery. Another bit of privatisation. Human life is just another profit centre. Sickening. mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/p…
Why do private companies want to win NHS contracts? Because the NHS provides them with a steady pipeline of public money which is reliable. They’re turning the NHS into a cash cow🚨 If this concerns you, RT 💙
ALARMING. The tories broke the NHS in England into 42 independent units in 2022. Now a think tank proposing breaking up NHS England altogether. This is a model which would be attractive to private insurance companies- I suspect that’s the agenda here🚨 thetimes.co.uk/article/abolis…
NHS told to cut spending on doctors/nurses to save £4.5bn. 7.6m hospital appointments waiting list. 300,000 die whilst waiting. 2.7m chronically ill. 14,000 A&E deaths last year. Govt response - cut spending on doctors/nurses. Tax cuts for the rich. archive.ph/QQ39q
The NHS is being destroyed
Thé coup that has occurred in the NHS, has been replicated throughout society m.youtube.com/watch?si=MLwia…
You may wonder how corporations can turn record profits, pay out massive dividends and reward CEOs with huge bonuses all during a cost of living crisis and a recession… Because they know that this Tory Govt couldn’t care less about us and will do absolutely nothing to stop them
It’s worse than privatising healthcare It’s using public money to prop up private healthcare companies It’s using the NHS budget as seed money for private companies No competition. They aren’t offering better services. No benefit to patients It’s corruption, plain and simple
Excellent summary of the current crisis in the NHS.

At least 55 homeless children have died in temporary accommodation since 2019. Across the UK, access to safe housing, healthcare and a decent standard of living is deteriorating before our eyes. Share the trailer to show that this isn't drama, it's real life. #beforeoureyes
A coup had occurred in the NHS. Right-wing ideologues in govt, influenced by the IEA, have infiltrated the upper echelons of all aspects of healthcare (NHSE, DHSC, GMC, RCP, RCGP) and are pushing their agenda of profits before people and it’s exceedingly dangerous.

Dear 🇬🇧, This is the anatomy of a militant takeover of your public healthcare system: - Take the #1 healthcare system on Earth - Defund it by £320 billion over a decade - Force doctors and nurses to leave country - Engineer the longest waitlist in NHS history - Hold patients…

Oh deary me! Truro and Falmouth MP @thisischerilyn repeats industry propaganda dumped sewage is 95% water & the general public are confused. Challenge Mrs Mackrory: Drink 1 glass of that 95% rainwater from a CSO I choose and I'll donate £1,000 to a charity you choose. (2/4)
If the next government wants to fix the NHS, the first thing they should do is give all staff a significant pay rise! RT if you agree! 💙💙💙
@Amoxicologist This is the concern I have for my family in the UK. It is a real possibility that over tge next couple of decades so many doctors leave and PA roles created that majority of UK medicine will be delivered by people without medical qualifications
So as the GMC enters its move to full weaponisation against Drs and we approach the very real prospect of loosing a whole generation of Drs who rightly won’t be treated like shit, I find myself wondering will I get treated by a properly qualified person when I become unwell?
@premnsikka @bicmyhead 2015. The GMC refers to PAs as “Medical Role Substitutes” Across the NHS a role taught for 2 years in “PA studies” is substituting for 10 to 15 year trained Doctors. This substitution is about money. It is not about care. (Thx @guidelinexpert)
In my medical career I have easily spent more time treating patients with complications from the private sector than treating asylum seekers. Don’t believe the haters!
🚨 Anyone falling for @wesstreeting's sales pitch is ignorant or willfully blind to 40 years 'reform' & current legislative framework of NHS Streeting will create more commercial opportunities & continue #DoctorSubstitution Americanisation #NHS promoted by @TheBMA cut outs
Last night on #BBCQT @wesstreeting rightly highlighted the impact GP workload is having on both doctors and patients. Government urgently needs a plan to address workforce shortages, fairer funding, and autonomy in #GeneralPractice. #RebuildGP #TeamGP
Well done everyone - our incredible network has sent over 1000 letters to their MPs to express their concern about NHS privatisation and link to our recently launched website, showing 2495 examples of NHS outsourcing+privatisation 👍💙💥 @EveryDoctorUK
When I first registered in 1984 the GMC was highly respected. I was very proud to be on the medical register. They were an autonomous body that regulated our profession. This continued to be the case until the middle of the last decade. The situation now is very different.…
The ongoing mystery! Why are junior doctors so unhappy? Why are they leaving for Australia ? 🤔
🧵We are 79 soon-to-be Doctors who are supposed to be working in the East Midlands, starting in three months. However, we don't yet know what jobs, hospitals or even which city we will be working in. We are distressed, angry and fed up. [1/2]
Dear GPs and consultants: You are not "supervising" a PA if they're seeing patients independently without any review or debrief and you've just told them to come to you if they've got any issues. The courts will eventually sort this out.
According to ridiculous NHS rules Psychiatrists with 13 years of training can’t diagnose ADHD. But anyone who does a 4 week (120 hour) course and reads through a tick sheet can. They charge £500 an hour, instead of the £35 it would cost the NHS. It’s a scam.
I'm taking a hiatus from everything to settle some stuff going on in my personal life. Thanks to all who have followed and supported recently. I hope to be back in a short while once things have stabilised a bit ❤️
The RCGP telling GPs to "check your junk" has won the internet for me today. I love you social media team!
A PA - a person WITHOUT a medical degree running a telephone clinic with undifferentiated patients from home Then videoing these consultations & posting them on social media?! 🚩 GROSSLY unprofessional 🚩 NEGLIGENT supervision 🚩 DANGER to patients Have patients consented for…
@Ask_foradoctor Why wouldn't they? It's a no brainer - do the PA course which no one fails and then earn band 7 money - more money than a fully qualified Doctor. All this after only 9 months of nursing 'clinical placements ' - insane!
@Ask_foradoctor Because a Band 5 nurse looks what a PA is getting (band 7, no nights, no weekends) and thinks yep, that’s better
PAs are now using nursing as a stepping stone to a PA course. This PA student worked fewer than 6 months as a nurse before starting their PA course, which they applied for in March of their final year of nursing. Why are we turning qualified nurses into fake doctors?
