"The latest reports that training places could be restricted if strikes continue reveal something deeply troubling. Training, the very mechanism by which the NHS sustains itself, is being positioned as a bargaining chip." Excellent from @jatinderhayre.bsky.social metro.co.uk/2026/04/07/s...

The analysis by @jatinderhayre.bsky.social is about #healthcare, but this is necessary reading for #criminaljustice folks. These systems don't punish decisions. Everyone makes similar decisions. They reward the people wealthy enough to mitigate the consequences. jacobin.com/2026/02/heal...

Why do countries keep misdiagnosing inequity? Our umbrella review shows equity is built through welfare, housing and regulation, not behaviour lectures. Low agency. High impact. @bmc.springernature.com @qmul-wiph.bsky.social @qmul-ceg.bsky.social link.springer.com/article/10.1...

“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...

Today, my paper was released in @BMJ_Open: 'Health impacts of the Sure Start programme on disadvantaged children in the UK: a systematic review'. This marks the most comprehensive review of the Sure Start Programme — with some fascinating findings! 1/n bmjopen.bmj.com/content/15/2...

There it is. It's all about random self-selecting anecdotes and "vibes": a complete neglect of the key fact — PAs are an unqualified, untrained danger. Doctors don't want them; Patient's don't want them — they're a byproduct of sordid corruption from @gmcuk.bsky.social & @nhsengland.bsky.social.

PAs and MAPs, overwhelmingly White British, are now playing the race card. A reminder: it is, disproportionately, Ethnic Minority doctors who take the fall from the deadly mistakes of MAPs — often forced to supervise these unqualified individuals against their will. ☝🏽That is structural racism.

Well, well, well… let’s take a look at the GMC’s newest employee. Prof. Mangat’s recent career has been defined, to date, on pushing one specific agenda: The Physician Associate Experiment. Let’s take a look 🧵:

🚨The GMC Report: There’s a chorus of disagreement with every single proposal — by Doctors and Patients alike, and you’re still ploughing on? Total clown show: it would be funny if not deadly. The entire report is a lesson in gaslighting, ignorance, and hubris. 🪦The final chapter of The GMC?

It’s started. Just remember, @gmcuk spend almost £700,000 on private health insurance for their employees. They will never see a PA, and are shielded from this national scandal. They’re safe; You’re not!

Vaccines save lives. Keep repeating the message. It’s the truth.

Outcry on PAs and AAs from patients and professionals alike, Royal Colleges, and the BMA. The GMC is ploughing ahead with legitimising the role: at patients’ peril. The same “medical” regular with shares of a million £s in McDonalds and Coca Cola. It’s clear, GMC prioritises profit over patients.

MPs are to summon Elon Musk to testify about X’s role in spreading disinformation, in a parliamentary inquiry into the UK riots and the rise of false and harmful AI content www.theguardian.com/media/2024/n...

The mainstream media is finally catching on to this national scandal: and they are right, we need to rid our healthcare system of this madness. An excellent article by @johnnyjenkins.bsky.social! Well worth a read👇🏽

It’s great to be on an alternative platform where we can further our political discourse and debate, without it being politicised by the host organisations’ machinations. Let’s get Blue Sky growing! 💙
