US based Palantir is after our NHS data David Davis doesn’t trust them, I don’t trust them News of every baby having their genome taken this week makes this even more concerning Corporations are data hungry & it needs to be kept in check Do you agree?

"Disabled people should have been at the heart of the matter from the beginning" Comedian Roșie Jones says the government "never considered the real effect" that the proposed welfare reform would have for disabled people #BBCLauraK bbc.in/4lqTJud

I can't see how the BBC will ever recover from its headlong leap into this ethical void, all in the name of not upsetting the perpetrators of the most horrific genocide since the end of the 2nd World War.

and make no mistake a lot of the warped thinking in the 10 year NHS plan around de-professionalisation, taskification, training on the cheap, magical faith in digital "solutions", league tables, illusory "choice" etc is straight out of the consultancy playbook

I've been trying not to spam you guys with promotional posts every day. I know it can be irritating or frustrating. As a result, however, sales for my show are lower than they normally would be. The algorithm on most socials now is also very punishing if you aren't posting daily

a reflection. lots of talks recently. dozens of people say after 'totally agree but I am afraid to say so out loud'. And sorry, but this is part of the reason why rational critical evaluations of evidence are now described as 'provocative'. It should be normal.

When it comes to making change happen, peer-to-peer (informal) influence is generally more powerful than the influence that comes from position (formal authority). Informal networks hold the sense-making power throughout an organisation, not senior leader-centric change. This

Disgraceful - schools and hospitals being handed back in poor shape after years of PFI contracts ripping us all off 🏫🏥 Government must say no to new private finance for OUR public assets Why should we pay several times over while they fail to invest? theguardian.com/politics/2025/…

When you allow poorly trained people to do the job of highly qualified professionals harm will come as sure as night follows day!! Anyone that has tried to suggest otherwise is a fool or has an agenda

I’m not usually one for petitions but when someone is ousted from the RCP for raising safety concerns, silence isn’t an option. Partha Kar’s removal is shocking. Council must refuse to ratify it next week or risk complicity in the governance failings laid bare in the Kings Fund

It’s becoming increasingly clear that GPs are on the ‘very few required’ list in the 10YP. & it seems that just about every one will be able to do our job 🎉 Have Royal College of General Practitioners Kamila Hawthorne approved these monumental changes to how 1° care is delivered? @DrKatie.BSky.Social General Practice DAUK GP Committee 1/
