From today, 1 in 4 hospital referrals will be diverted under new government rules. These changes to GP contracts risk turning access to hospital care into a lottery, denying millions care and putting patient safety at risk if decisions are swayed by pressure to meet targets ➡️ tinyurl.com/bda6bwp4

This is what unity looks like. We joined half a million people at the @togetheralliance.bsky.social march this Saturday, standing together against the far-right. When far-right ideology blocks our patients from accessing healthcare, we march for a system that cares for everyone.

“In our UK clinics, patients are already too afraid to seek NHS care in case it leads to an ICE-style raid at their home address.” Over 1,000 healthcare professionals warn the EU’s far-right deportation plans could create the same climate of fear across Europe.

New analysis shows state policies to stop small boat crossings are driving deaths in the Channel. Border policing doesn’t save lives - it forces people into deadlier routes. It's clearer than ever: deterrence policies don't work. We must open safe routes now. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

This Saturday, we’re marching for unity with the #Together Alliance. Far-right hate is pushing people away from healthcare. Many avoid care or are excluded due to fear & hostile policies. The far right thrives on division. A healthy society thrives on unity. March with us ➡️ togetheralliance.org.uk

We condemn all forms of anti-semitism and attacks on healthcare 🛑 Today's arson attacks on charity ambulances are appalling and reflect a rise in hate crimes against minority communities in the UK. Attacks on health facilities undermine essential care. We must choose humanity over hostility.

#EidMubarak to all our incredible supporters and patients 💙 Thank you for helping us raise over £8K this Ramadan. Your donations will support people affected by conflict to access essential medical care. We wish you and your families a joyful Eid with your loved ones.

UK, it’s time to catch up. Instead of pushing an anti-migrant agenda, Spain has recognised healthcare as the universal human right it is. All pregnant women and survivors of gender-based violence and torture, can now get the medical care they need without crippling fees.

🔴 Middle East Emergency Appeal Since the U.S.–Israeli airstrikes on Iran, thousands of families have been forced to flee their homes as the violence escalates. If you can, please donate to help our doctors continue delivering lifesaving healthcare ➡️ tinyurl.com/yh7w85d8

When a child is going through a health crisis, the last thing a family should face is the threat of losing the care keeping their child alive. The government’s new settlement rules will leave families already under immense strain facing years more instability and insecurity.

Deporting sick children is a new low for our government. Stability is vital for child development, especially for kids who have faced trauma. Forced removals risk ending lifesaving medical care while tearing them from school and everything they know.

#EndTheGag ❌ The #GlobalGagRule blocks U.S.-funded NGOs from providing or sharing information about #abortion. It has now been extended to restrict humanitarian health programmes supporting LGBTQIA+ rights and diversity, equity & inclusion. We warn of the consequences ➡️ tinyurl.com/25h9zrbz

🛑 We reiterate that civilians must never be targets. The recent US-Israeli strike on #Iran, and the following Iranian retaliation, have already affected thousands across the region. Our teams are on the ground, assessing urgent needs to provide the most effective response.

Harsh asylum rules do not stop people fleeing war or abuse. Temporary status only traps traumatised people in a constant state of uncertainty, denying people the stability they need to rebuild their lives. This is the opposite of the protection our asylum system should provide.

During the pandemic, the Government put its anti-migrant agenda ahead of people’s lives. Hostile immigration enforcement stopped many migrants from safely accessing healthcare - leading to preventable infections and deaths. The government's cruel choices put everyone’s health at risk.

It’s deeply alarming that detention centres are failing to follow their own safeguarding guidance - just weeks after excessive force against vulnerable migrants was exposed at Brook House. Immigration detention actively inflicts harm. It must end. www.independent.co.uk/news/uk/home...

ICE kills in the US - so why is Reform pushing for the same approach here? This would mean neighbours terrorised in health facilities, leaving people too scared to get the healthcare they need. It’s a nightmare for everyone, including public health.

Your actions truly make a difference 💙 With everything people in Gaza are going through, nothing brings us more joy than seeing these children smile as we bring them psychosocial care. Help us support children as they observe #Ramadan 👉 justgiving.com/campaign/ram...

We reject the EU’s enforcement of ICE-style immigration policy. The proposed Deportation Regulation violates human rights - and will leave people too scared to seek healthcare out of fear of deportation. Public spaces should NEVER be used for imprisonment and control.

🔴 Cyclone Gezani hit Madagascar on Tuesday evening, killing over 25 people and displacing thousands. Our teams are on the ground providing emergency medical care, supporting health centres, and helping prevent disease in the hardest-hit communities. #CycloneGezani

Refugee homelessness has risen 400% in just four years. Instead of fixing the crisis, the government is cutting support for people seeking asylum and refugees, leaving more people on the streets. Safe housing is a human right & the Home Office is failing to protect it.

230 million women worldwide live with the effects of Female Genital Mutilation. This International Day of Zero Tolerance for FGM, we confront this serious human rights violation. In Afar, Ethiopia, FGM is widespread. (1/2)🧵

Just to be very clear, every single taxi journey to a medical appointment has ALWAYS required Home Office approval - both now and in the past. All this article does is show the government taking credit for “fixing” a problem it created through poor management.

We may not have guns but we do have: ⚠️ICE-style raids invading homes and workplaces ⚠️Indefinite detention of women, children and men ⚠️Deportation footage bragged about on TikTok ⚠️Riot police used on peaceful protest ⚠️Politicians calling for mass deportations. This isn’t “just America.”

Russia’s drone strikes have hit our Ukrainian warehouse. After more than 300 drone attacks on Dnipro, Kyiv and Odesa, our materials warehouse sustained major damage. We are relieved to confirm that all local staff are safe, and that medical stocks remain intact.

Trafficking and torture survivors should never be detained ❌ The ‘one-in, one-out’ scheme is not a free pass to ignore medical advice or safeguarding. Detaining people who have survived severe trauma and abuse could have devastating consequences. @medicaljustice.org.uk

Death and disease in Home Office asylum camps ⚠️ Overcrowding, filthy conditions, and lack of healthcare access led to diphtheria, scabies, and two lives tragically being lost. This is disgraceful. Those responsible must be held accountable. One the many reasons we are calling to #CloseTheCamps.

After surviving a traumatic journey, a phone can be the only link to family, healthcare or emergency help. Taking it away adds yet another loss to everything people seeking safety have been forced to leave behind.

Every single one of these deaths was preventable. Safe routes save lives. www.mirror.co.uk/news/politic...

The deregistration of INGOs in Gaza and the West Bank violates civilian rights under international humanitarian law. We stand with 52 aid organisations demanding an end to the Israeli Government's halt of life-saving aid, denying emergency medical assistance. Humanitarian access is not optional.

Thank you for your support in 2025 💙 Because of you, our medical teams provided care to people in 70+ countries, often in the toughest humanitarian crises. Your support ensures healthcare reaches the people who need it most, even when systems are stretched. Here’s to #2026! 🎉

🚨Breaking: Russia's attack on #Ukraine kills 3, injures 11, and regions left without power. 600+ drones and 30+ missiles were launched, targeting civilians and energy infrastructure as temperatures drop to -8°C. 💙Our teams continue to provide emergency aid in mobile units and health facilities.

Violence, terror and death. That's the reality facing far too many people on the France/UK border. The UK needs to understand its role in funding this violence - so we can stop it. Tell your MP to back calls for an inquiry and an end to criminalisation: fightforasylumrights.org/write-to-you...

We stand with @bmj.com against proposed changes to the UK asylum system. As health workers, we must speak up when policies put people’s health at risk. Weakening refugee protections & fuelling divisive narratives won’t unite the country - it will only benefit those who profit from keeping us apart.

🚨People are dying in the hostile asylum system. Tragically, lives are being lost. But we don't know how many, and often, who. We must #KnowTheirNames. @asylummatters.bsky.social www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2025...

We took the French government to court - and WE WON. But the work isn’t over. The court ruled that living conditions in Dunkirk camps are illegal and inhumane, ordering urgent action. But basic healthcare is still missing. We have appealed to push for its inclusion. @humansforrights.bsky.social

So the plan is to close one ‘fundamentally unsuitable’ barracks… only to open more? The same prison-like, isolating conditions that harm people’s health and wellbeing don't magically improve with a new postcode. #CloseTheCamps

Shipping people off to military land in the middle of nowhere does nothing to solve the problems in our asylum system. It's a completely failed experiment in expensive cruelty - it shouldn't be delayed, it should be cancelled completely.

WE DID IT! Together, we’ve raised over £18,000 to help people in need. Thanks to our wonderful supporters, we have exceeded our @biggive.bsky.social target. Because of you, we’re able to make accessible, equitable healthcare a reality for more people across the UK. Thank you! 💙

Only one day left to DOUBLE your donation! Thanks to your generosity, we've raised over £9,000 to help people access essential healthcare. Your support has been incredible, but we need one final push to reach our target. Support our humanitarian work here 💙➡️ tinyurl.com/4azeew8t

📢 We’re searching for our next Executive Director! This role will lead our strategy, programmes and operations, and be a powerful voice for universal access to healthcare. 🗓 Deadline: 15 December 2025 Full details on how to apply here ⬇️

Before, during, and after a crisis - we are there. When systems fail and people are left without healthcare - in conflict zones, asylum camps, after climate disasters, or on migration routes - we step in. For 45 years, we have stood with people in need, and we'll never turn away.

There have NEVER been ‘unrestricted’ taxis for asylum seekers. Travel to medical appointments has ALWAYS required Home Office approval. Many of the people we support miss urgent care because they can't get there. UK Gov must stop scapegoating people for its poor management ➡️ tinyurl.com/fzsk3aen

APPEAL ⬇️ UK mobile clinics, advice line & outreach ⬇️ For 7 days only, every £1 you donate will be matched, doubling your support for the 1.8 million people in the UK who are currently unable to access healthcare. We're so grateful for any support you can give.

“What we need is a competent and efficient refugee protection system that prioritises the health and wellbeing of people seeking safety and suitable housing for all who need it. This is what humanity looks like. This is what truly matters.“

🔴 The government's latest plans will push an already failing asylum system to new extremes of harm. The uncertainty, fear & instability the proposed changes create will only deepen the trauma faced by refugees & people seeking safety. Read our full statement ➡️ tinyurl.com/mphbj2m3

Dealing with sickness is scary enough as it is, nobody should feel like there will be consequences for seeking care. This is the sad reality of so many of our patients, stuck in our broken immigration and asylum systems.
