We were proud to be there in numbers, help with setting up and to be part of a great attendance in-person and online on the day
We are pleased to report that our NHS at a Crossroads conference on Saturday was a resounding success! Lots of great connections forged and strengthened and so much passion in the room for a well funded and fully public NHS. Onwards together! 💙

Our co-chair @DrTonyOSullivan - responsible for leading a campaign to save his own hospital years ago - speaks passionately about how important our NHS is and how badly let down it has been by successive governments. There is hope. We need people to join us. Go to our website 💙

NHS AT THE CROSSROADS conference opening with @DrJohnPuntis and @AndrewMeyerson The NHS in Crisis is not getting a response from this Govt. People are bankrupted in the US by health charges. We cannot afford not to keep our public NHS.

Our Head of Campaigns, Tom Griffiths, spoke powerfully at tonight's pre-budget anti-austerity rally in London. Tomorrow's statement MUST commit more funds to our NHS. Up to 554 people are dying avoidably every single week. No more austerity!

theguardian.com/commentisfre… Very helpful article asking the govt why they have left out disabled people from their commitments on social care. Relying on Casey to include disabled people later is not a good plan. Include disabled people now!

Our latest Not the NHS Again Podcast, run jointly with @TheDA_UK this week focuses on migrant charges - Bevan said the NHS should be accessible to all & free at the point of use. Why are women paying thousands to give birth. This is a betrayal. Ethan Chua of Migrants Organise explains more. youtu.be/8ZICEXR3J7I?si=q4ue…

Oh dear (highly) paid #Palantir lobbyist Lord Watson of Wyre Forest uses stats which UK’s statistics watchdog has widely slated. @TheDA_UK & Birmingham…aren’t impressed
Later today protesters will demand ‘No Palantir in our NHS’    While they protest, someone, somewhere will get an operation scheduled earlier, a cancer diagnosis quicker, a loved one home from hospital sooner - thanks to the software that those protesters would switch off.   Here is what you won’t hear. Trusts using the software have recorded: • 117,000 additional operations • 14.3 per cent reduction in discharge delays for long stay patients • 5.6 per cent improvement in the number of people receiving a cancer diagnosis within 28 days     As a more articulate person once said: ‘certain facts, although in a sense known to be true, are inadmissible.’

We already have corridor care all year round and @RCollEM report of over 300 deaths per week associated with prolonged A&E waits. What does worse look like? @andyburnham @YvetteCooperMP current policy is not working and we are running out of time to change direction.
"We are concerned about the position we have found ourselves in." Oxford health officials warn they are ill-prepared for winter strain. After a busy summer, hospitals have had no time to prepare or free up beds ahead of the cold season peak. Read: bbc.co.uk/news/articles/c624…

Hospital to Community Advice & Guidance hasn’t reduced referrals it has delayed them The problem is the long waits to see hospital Consultants The additional work & time is now delaying & reducing GP availability too Hospitals are shifting their waiting times to the community
A&G was meant to support GPs, not create another barrier to specialist care. If referrals are blocked, concerns dismissed and diagnoses delayed, the system risks undermining clinical judgment and patient safety. Patient safety has to come first. healthcaretoday.com/article/…
