Grand #UACES2025 walking tour of Liverpool this afternoon - taking in reconciling the city’s slave trade history, football, and a certain boyband… Thanks Lauren for the group photo!

Looking forward to talking about #solidarity and catching up with EU health governance researchers and others including the fantastic @uaces.bsky.social team from tomorrow in Liverpool! See below for the @euhealthgov.bsky.social sessions if you’re heading to #UACES2025! 👇

With @PramitiParwani & @katperehudoff.bsky.social, we explored EU pharma regulators’ role in access to medicines in low-income countries. Trust remains one-way, reinforcing dependencies; building regional regulatory capacity is key for global health 💫

Two more offerings made to the gods of academic publishing…

The attack on EU civil society groups has not got anywhere near enough attention, also discussed here: academic.oup.com/eurpub/artic...

New open-access on FirstView: "On The Quiet Power of National Decisions: Hospitals, State Aid, and Services of General Economic Interest" by @maryjguy.bsky.social, part of the upcoming symposium "Public Health, Markets, and Law." #Healthcare #Hospitals www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Out-of-office on for summer break. Orange lilies for joy.

Proud to share this new publication on #hospitals #stateaid and #SGEI in the excellent Symposium on “Public Health, Markets, and Law” with @jlme-journal.bsky.social edited by Dr Mina Hosseini and Imelda Maher. Some key findings follow! www.cambridge.org/core/journal...

Delighted to see the first paper from our Symposium “Public Health, Markets and Law” co-edited with Professor Imelda Maher now published in @jlme-journal.bsky.social @ucdschooloflaw.bsky.social @ucddublin.bsky.social

Good news!

Catching up on the NHS 10 Year Plan as I finalise a paper on patient choice (unexpectedly timely?!). The promise of a “new patient choice charter” will need more detail… Are we in the territory of “whither the NHS Constitution”? (1/2)

Catch up on the webinar with @ofernandezfdez.bsky.social talking about navigating regime complexity in global health and the role of the EU, reports by @ensured.bsky.social and his current work! euhealthgov.org/summary-osca...

25 June 1987 | The ERASMUS programme is published in the Official Journal of the EU. After years of proposals from EU Institutions- an the work of many in the academic world- it became a reality. Here, how it was introduced to the world & some curiosities: #EUHistory 🇪🇺🧵

#ThrowbackThursday 50 years ago today there was a referendum in the UK…

You never regret standing up for yourself.

Happy #EuropeDay! And to think it took until the final draft for the famous reference to #solidarity to appear in the Schuman Declaration… References to federalism* could have had a rather different legacy… (“…l’Europe doit être organisée sur une base fédérale”)

Yorkshire, April 2025

Gorgeous day in North West England

Looking forward to talking about #solidarity #health, and what the Brexit bus and “four categories of European healthcare” can tell us later today @slsauk.bsky.social @livunislsj.bsky.social #slsa2025 www.maryguy.com/the-four-cat...

Great discussion and questions today at #slsa2025 for my presentation on #solidarity #EU #health #freemovement #citizenship. Tomorrow I’m talking about another chapter of my forthcoming monograph with the health law and bioethics stream!

Happy #worldpoetryday to all who celebrate! Some Wendy Cope to brighten the day…

The Health and Care Act 2022 provided for the reincorporation of ministerial oversight (albeit in a Matt Hancock vision), but obvs not the abolition of NHS England. Curious to see how patient choice fares. www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Interesting times to be writing a chapter on the role of the UK Secretary of State for Health… Amanda Pritchard quits as NHS England chief executive in shock move www.theguardian.com/society/2025...

Not a fan of the term “NHS privatisation” simply because it’s too broad and masks intricacies which need clarity and examination. However, “follow the money” is generally good advice, and this paper also resonates in the UK context. 👇 cepr.net/publications...

Good summary of an interesting lecture. Reflecting on how far AI simply exacerbates rather than solves problems in healthcare (particularly access, doctor-patient relationship etc) www.digitalhealth.net/2025/02/ai-c...
