Dont mean to say we warned you all but WE WARNED YOU ALL since 2021 🤦‍♂️ @thedauk.bsky.social #Palantir www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

Irony….dept of health monitoring my comments on #Palantir as revealed in subject access requests in 2023… 2025, dept of health advising ministers that the #Palantir contract a bit 💩 🤪

Breathe…. Are you, are we struggling for breath, struggling to breathe Some thoughts

Substituting: Nurses with Nursing Associates Dentists with Dental Associates Pharmacists with Pharmacy Assistants Doctors with XYZ ….. no problem 🤷🏻‍♂️ None of the above is acceptable We have training requirements for a reason - SAFETY

The beach is the waiting room, phone lines, online query queue, duty list. The tide is demand. The air cover is dwindling. The map back at headquarters is a fantasy. The job on the ground is to get as many people to safety as you can, without pretending you can save everyone in the way you used to

Corridor care shames the UK Successive NHS leaders have failed to address the cause Not increased activity but lack of capacity for admission & discharge - beds Instead of 5000 additional permanent beds, ‘gongs’ given by the King to those responsible for failure It must end!

It’s only ever a simple problem after all the possible more complex ones have been explored and excluded The assumption that simple things exist is due to years of experience and training being applied, to the untrained mind they seem simple

I was just asked by an another alumni to talk to them because they’re developing a program to do medication deprescribing. Where do I even start to say that my nine years of training to become a geriatrician can’t be boiled down into an algorithm. NPs can be very helpful, they deserve 1/

JUST A GP GP & trainer over 30yrs GP Curriculum over 400 pages👇🏻 www.rcgp.org.uk/mrcgp-exams/... 10yrs plus in the making This job is not simple yet is underestimated, misunderstood & overlooked It cannot be done with less training but if it is it will put patients at risk of harm

“The view from some in the cabinet is that Anas Sarwar was working in conjunction with Wes Streeting...” Nick Watt on suggestions the Health Secretary had encouraged the Scottish Labour leader to call for the Prime Minister to step down - something they both deny #Newsnight

Smug Pat McFadden, claimed over £40,000 in parliamentary expenses for rent on a constituency home between 2012 and 2017, while owning the property next door. While he maintained he followed IPSA rules at all times, critics argued it exploited the "spirit of the rules" Mandelson’s deputy 🤔

Pat McFadden: I know nothing.

Excellent commentary as per usual from @drstevetaylor.bsky.social and Dr Zoe Norris here, and a hopeful message from the minister. For community based medicine to succeed, sufficient funding must follow. www.gponline.com/gps-lost-nhs...

One month into 2026 & still little evidence that UKLabour and Wes Streeting are serious about the election promise to ‘Bring back the family Doctor’ Exaggerated numbers of 3000 recruits but in reality less than 1500 & 8000 GPs have completed their training since May 2024

It’s definitely a moral obligation to the people who have seen their loans rise rapidly Yet dismissed

“I borrowed in total £55,000…” “How much do you owe now?" “£72,000” @vicderbyshire.bsky.social speaks to Dr Arthur Joustra, a trainee paediatrician, about how his student loan debt has risen since he graduated in 2022 - despite making payments. #Newsnight

People come to us frightened, exhausted, in pain, & half-humiliated by the process, filled in the forms, waited, called back, been cut off, tried again, been told to do it online, discovered the link doesn’t work, then finally they’re in a room with someone a human, a GP substack.com/@davetriska/...

There is a student loan scandal Of only we had a Government that understood and cared about it 🤔

🧵Palantir built ICE’s data platform for Trump’s mass deportation push. @nafeez.bsky.social investigates for @bylinetimes.bsky.social : are the same “military-grade” tools now being used to track democratic dissent as well as migrants? 1/12 🔗 bylinetimes.com/2026/01/29/d...

Patient safety in UK Based on this report there is a lot that needs to be done. Waits are longer, risks not mitigated against (DVT / Infection) If the #NHS is run for acute care only (firefighting) it will continue to have problems The choice is ours🤷🏻‍♂️ www.imperial.ac.uk/Stories/glob...

GP Crisis GP practice funding £/patient has fallen £42 per patient in real terms in 10 years Enough for an average practice to employ 2 GPs, a Nurse and 2 admin staff. Can’t see a GP - blame MPs @NHSEngland @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk digital.nhs.uk/data-and-inf...

GPs up & down the country warned Wes Streeting, Department of Health and Social Care 6w ago that forcing the implementation of online forms without safeguards was a fools errand & raise false expectations Have now decided not to talk to @BMA_GP @doctor_katie @DavidGWrigley So here we are 🤷🏻‍♂️

⚠️END CORRIDOR CARE⚠️ Mandatory Fire Safety Training for #NHS staff 🔥Corridors should be kept clear🔥 Hospital patients collapsing while out of sight www.theguardian.com/society/2026... www.hssib.org.uk/patient-safe... The 5000 ‘permanent’ hospital beds promised 2023 never were in 2024 or in 2026

Good to see BMJ highlight this @thedauk.bsky.social been highlighting risks of #Palantir for over 4 years….why on earth did NHS England fork out £330M on a company with such a track record?🤷‍♂️👇👇👇 youtu.be/0erZPoOPcm4?...

Top tip, if u are going to go on #hungerstrike REALLY think things thru… 1)if you have limb-girdle muscular dystrophy, u are at severe risk of death 2)if you don’t take fluids u will die within 3-4 days. This chap is NOT out of the woods yet. There is a lot of news on at the moment,this is not it.

Wait til you hear that 1)Palantir has an app, which ICE use to access medical records to assist in targeting raids 2)Both the Conservatives & Reform plan an ICE style agency if elected 3)Both Conservatives & Labour have welcomed Palantir’s FDP into the NHS. Like 🤬🤬🤬🤬🤬?

Keep OUR NHS away from profit-making companies - especially asset strippers and profit maximisers.
