Our protest last week drew national and international attention. Corridor care is dangerous and inhumane and must be urgently addressed by this govt. 16,600 people die AVOIDABLY every year - this is nothing short of a national disgrace. www.manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/uk-news...

Our successful protest yesterday outside parliament drew the attention of several MPs who were presented with our briefing and the opportunity to follow up. Corridor care is extremely dangerous for patients and traumatising for staff - it must end NOW. morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-...

BREAKING: Patients & staff impacted by corridor care join MPs outside Parliament to call for govt to stop this crisis. Each day in UK hospitals, patients are treated in corridors, waiting rooms, even store cupboards. There are 16,600 AVOIDABLE deaths every year. This must end. Repost if you agree

Yesterday in Parliament, @richardburgon.bsky.social sponsored a meeting of the NHS Working Group, on the subject of NHS privatisation. @99organisation.bsky.social @keepournhspublic.bsky.social @nuffieldtrust.org.uk Healthcare Privatisation -- Should We Care? 99-percent.org/healthcare-p...

Successful morning handling press for our SOS NHS Corridor care protest with @keepournhspublic.bsky.social et al. It's a topic that's gone far too quiet lately but has a detrimental and long lasting impact on patients & staff. 16,600 AVOIDABLE deaths every year. Where's the outrage from govt??

Our co-chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social at a parliamentary event with @99organisation.bsky.social happening now, hosted by @richardburgon.bsky.social "Wherever there was PFI, it was the most expensive option. The intention to bring it back is a deception."

Economist @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social of @99organisation.bsky.social at parliament now presents his new report for a joint event we are holding, hosted by @richardburgon.bsky.social He outlines the many different ways that patients lose out because of privatisation.

Off to manage press/media for a parliamentary event on NHS privatisation, organised by @99organisation.bsky.social & us @keepournhspublic.bsky.social The new report authored by @mrmarkethomas.bsky.social outlines how the real figure of privatisation is FAR higher than the often talked about 7% 👀

‘Frontline staff can face continued risk of workplace exposure to COVID, and lack of access to vaccination can increase the chance of illness, staff absences, and transmission to vulnerable patients. Protecting NHS workers protects patients.’ petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: “This initial NHS contract with Palantir was made in 2020, but Labour should have ended it. Well over £1bn of public money is now in Palantir’s hands despite being steeped in the blood of the people of Gaza." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/labo...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: “This looks like another example of a hugely wasteful IT contract, and the lack of public trust will make it unworkable. They ought to end the contract or not renew it and accept that the public is very concerned...” www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

@keepournhspublic.bsky.social co-chairman @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said as the #NHS faces fragmentation, #privatisation and growing regional inequality, this should not be preferentially for trusts in better-off areas morningstaronline.co.uk/article/nhs-...

It's nothing short of a travesty that frontline health and care workers are being denied access to a free covid vaccination. You know what to do 👇 petition.parliament.uk/petitions/74...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: "The blinkered insistence on prioritising AI, tech & private health contracts over funding the expansion of NHS & social care public provision to address this emergency is an unforgivable dereliction of duty.” morningstaronline.co.uk/article/camp...

🔥 80 UVW cleaners at Great Ormond Street Hospital, mostly Black, brown and migrant, have won a landmark race discrimination case, a victory with national implications for thousands of workers. They had been taken in-house but denied full #NHS contracts for 18 months. @keepournhspublic.bsky.social

Great news! 📣 @gmb.org.uk Airedale hospital SubCo strikers won demands on parity of terms and conditions with NHS staff, but are holding out for pension parity which has not yet been agreed by management. We were there on the picket line to show support - repost to show yours 👊

Yesterday we joined @greenparty.org.uk leader @zackpolanski.bsky.social as he handed in a ‘termination of contract’ letter to Palantir. We oppose Palantir NHS contracts because a secretive surveillance firm linked to the Gaza genocide has no place handling our public health data.

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said on @lbc.co.uk  "Countries abroad have better workforce planning & more Drs than us. They haven't relied on bringing people in to ensure the system continues to run. Overseas staff saves the UK money because we don't pay the cost of their training."

My dad's 72, rushed into hospital with possible pneumonia. Now in a corridor and told it'll probably be the morning (c15hrs) before he'll see a doctor. Seems therefore perfectly logical that Streeting is driving even more of them abroad 🙄. We are the 6th richest world economy. I am so done.

“Next time you can’t see your GP, you’re waiting double digit hours in A&E, or wait over a year to see a specialist, ask if secure employment for Drs sounds unreasonable. Our unemployment crisis is a public health crisis." Vital piece by @jatinderhayre.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2025/12/17/w...

How will A&E function if 85% of hospital activity moves to 'the community'? Why the massive reorganisation & privatisation? @sectorsocial.bsky.social

We spoke to Resident Dr @andrewmeyerson.uk about why he's out on strike this week: "It's shocking; we have the longest waiting list in history at the same time that we have historic levels of Dr unemployment. That's unacceptable; and it's why we're fighting back." www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWTc...

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social spoke to @lbc.co.uk about the latest Resident Doctor strikes and the winter crisis: "There's no guarantee for Drs stuck in that training bottleneck that they won't lose their jobs..." Keep Our NHS Public stands with Resident Drs, for a safer NHS.

Imagine having your life saved by resident doctors then whipping up bad feeling by calling them juvenile delinquents and moaning minnies a few short years later when they're asking for a basic living wage and a job to go to after they qualify.

Our Co-Chair @drtonyosullivan.bsky.social said: “It's the height of irresponsible behaviour from Health Sec Wes Streeting to go to war with doctors & the BMA amid the flu epidemic. The govt cannot pretend they had no warning, that they didn’t see it coming." morningstaronline.co.uk/article/stre...

Really scary new data on A&Es “Private hospitals rely on the same overstretched staff... The answer isn’t outsourcing; it’s investing in NHS staff, services, capacity” Wes Streeting needs to listen to @keepournhspublic.bsky.social #OnlytheNHS can solve this www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Our Co-Chair @drjohnpuntis.bsky.social said: “The private sector isn’t a pressure valve for the NHS. Private hospitals rely on the same overstretched staff, so shifting more NHS money their way only pulls people out of an already thin workforce." www.theguardian.com/society/2025...
