this summer i'm taking a phd break to intern for @gfsc.community - i wrote a blog about their community technology partnership approach & why i think it matters to the care sector. I talk about the hell that oxevision is and the key work of the stop oxevision campaign. gfsc.community/how-health-t...

So who DOES still use Oxevision (now LIO Health)? This is what we know

this is an incredibly important step and all thanks to the hard work of the campaign - thank you to them

"The steering group is constrained to stick within currently predicted spending" Disabled people are being asked to 'coproduce' cuts. As in The Care Crisis by Emma Dowling, this is Participatory Austerity. Labour's #PIP review is about the ideological needs of politicians, nothing else.

Damning evidence from the Lampard Inquiry today about Oxevision (now LIO health). An EPUT nurse admits the benefits are “very minimal”, that it is “incredibly intrusive” and it doesn’t make observation rounds any quicker or more effective, as Oxehealth (now LIO) claim. #LampardInquiry

Disability benefits assessment must be redrawn as part of a “radical overhaul” as the system is “not fit for purpose,” the government’s landmark review into Pip will say. @jessicaelgot.bsky.social exclusively outlines the major early findings from Timms report. www.theguardian.com/society/2026...

SHAC Article: Over 100 Southwark Families Face Eviction from Former Notting Hill Genesis Homes 🚨 shaction.org/2026/07/08/a... Corporate landlord BMR Group Ltd bought the homes from social landlord NHG. Residents are fighting back, demanding action from Southwark Council. #NoEvictions

Chelsea and Westminster is the poster child for Palantir – the first hospital to use its tech. It claims to have cut waiting lists there by 183,000. But when I investigated for @londonermag.bsky.social, I found evidence that wasn't true. Now MPs are calling for an inquiry. Read my full expose:

I didn't know Diana Rose had passed and I just found out today and I feel so deeply sad! I didn't know her but her work gave me a lot of hope and also courage. I think about her words very often.

Purnell is one of the most vile DWP ministers this country has ever seen. He hates disabled people with a vengeance, & this bodes very badly for life under a Burnham government. www.theguardian.com/politics/202...

it's been a bit since i read health communism by adler-bolton and vierkant but i think the changing state of tech in mental health supports their key argument. ppl who face institutionalisation used to face abuse. it's the same today except now we also extract value from them through data collection

if it was indeed streeting's submission to the case, well, am i so not surprised that he went the authoritarian controlling judgemental way

in my research i get told by ppl who were admitted in psych wards they didnt complain or advocate for their needs bc they didn't know they could - specifically about tech. the new supreme court ruling feels like the continuation of that, ppl are "happy" about being spied on bc they didn't complain

Would you want to be watched in your bedroom while you're ill in hospital? @novaramedia.com youtube.com/shorts/FwQkm...

Untangling the threads: The installation of Oxevision by Oxford Health NHS Trust part two Following on from the piece earlier in the week we are now sharing part two of our deep dive into Oxford Health’s seemingly irrational decision to install Oxevision stopoxevision.wordpress.com/2026/02/05/u...

"Ten years later and I’m still faced with coercive practice at every turn, both from the gender clinic and the specialists that work with them." Read 'Accessing gender-affirming care should not be a source of trauma' by NSUN member, Oscar. www.nsun.org.uk/accessing-ge...

Ministers leave door open to continuing ‘absolute scandal’ of inappropriate Mental Health Act detention #MentalHealthBill #MentalHealthAct www.disabilitynewsservice.com/ministers-le...

Controversial government legislation that has now become law provides no solution to the culture of abuse, neglect and exclusion within the mental health system, or its continued structural racism, say disabled campaigners. #MentalHealthAct www.disabilitynewsservice.com/new-mental-h...

the only thing streeting is good at is exploiting contradictions no meds because it's not actually medical no psychosocial because it's not "proven" against disease 100% suffering left

"Each technological advancement that could free up physician time has instead tightened the productivity ratchet: these “efficiency gains” have simply been used to squeeze more visits, more billing, and more profit out of every hour." 🔥

“‘Clinical-grade’” is an example of marketing puffery designed to borrow authority from medicine without the strings of accountability or regulation. It sits alongside other buzzy marketing phrases like ‘medical-grade’ or ‘pharmaceutical-grade’ for things like steel, silicone, and supplements…”

In January the BBC covered a story about our campaign and concerns around the use of Oxevision. This is the video from the BBC South West coverage (although there was other national and regional coverage) Oxehealth have now rebranded as LIO Health youtu.be/uhrGw_jjtfQ?...

It can't be underestimated how important this is. Like 'SIM', this scandal has been uncovered by survivors themselves, not professionals. Anyone concerned about patient safety, the merging of the private sector & the state, misuse of technology, research ethics & human rights needs to read this.

the fatigue of listening to the lamprd inquiry

This afternoon, @stopoxevision.bsky.social are giving evidence at the Lampard Inquiry into uee of Oxevision in wider context of 2,000 patient deaths at Essex Partnership NHS Trust between 2000-24. You can watch the live stream on YouTube here www.youtube.com/@thelampardi...

important work to be done here :) apply!

Finally, inspired by Ruha Benjamin’s call for a radical reimagining of what technoscience might look like outside of carcerality, we imagine how mental health technologies could be otherwise. Enter: FishVision cameras

While drawing attention to the oppressive & violent nature of technologies such as Oxevision (now LIO), we ultimately reject the notion that mental health technologies are, in themselves, either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ but inherently entangled with the violent injustices of psychiatry and its carceral tools

Disabled activists warn Labour MPs who vote for cuts: ‘The gloves will be off’ www.disabilitynewsservice.com/disabled-act...

The NHS Long Term Plan promised all mental health services would be trauma-informed. The Women’s Mental Health Taskforce said the same. Now, the 10-Year Health Plan doesn’t mention trauma-informed care at all. Such a sad, telling step backwards. assets.publishing.service.gov.uk/media/686639...

🚨BREAKING: MPs have just voted for cuts to social security - with unwritten promises from the UK Government This is reckless. Disability rights aren’t optional. Poverty is a political choice. This Govt chose it tonight. We'll keep fighting until this cruel Bill is rejected completely.

#WelfareReformBill Joint statement rejecting “concessions” in the welfare reform bill by @crips-against-cuts.bsky.social @dis-ppl-protest.bsky.social @disrightsuk.bsky.social @nsunnews.bsky.social Mad youth demand & Taking The PIP

evolution of MH research → boom of "clinical" technological interventions = very clear example of research to surveillance pipeline

Our Green Paper response is clear. This isn't reform. It's cuts disguised as change. The proposals would: Push more Disabled people into poverty 📉 Link support to a failing PIP system 🚫 Undermine safety, autonomy & rights ⚠️ 📄 buff.ly/RsDE1gx #TakingThePIP

#NotDeadYet #KillTheBill The 3rd reading of the terminally ill adults end of life bill and the vote by MPs is on Friday 20th June 2025 Please write to your MP and raise concerns about the safeguards being watered down and ask them to vote No

#NotDeadYet DPAC supported Not Dead Yet UK & allies outside parliament as the follow up report stage amendments on the assisted dying bill for terminally ill adults was debated

whats also "ironic" is that when it comes to caring for distress or supporting neurodivergent ppl suddenly there's not much psychosocial intervention left isn't it? so thats decades of slashed adult MH social care expenditure on one end and transphobic ban on medical care on the other

#ConsultASham @leedsdpac.bsky.social held a protest in Leeds outside the venue where the disability green paper consultation on benefit cuts was taking place. One of the activists managed to get in & have their say. There was only 15 attendees in the meeting. It was indeed a consult-a-sham

🚨BREAKING NEWS🚨 DDPOs Plan UN Complaint Against Assisted Dying Bill Declaring the Assisted Dying Bill violates the UN Convention on the Rights of Disabled People (UNCRPD), DDPOs are supporting 2 claimants who's lives will be affected if it becomes law www.disabilityrightsuk.org/news/ddpos-p...

Our member, a care home manager, was asked today to estimate how many disabled residents might be eligible for medically-assisted suicide under the Leadbeater bill and how many places might be freed-up if the option was 'assertively marketed'. Is this the future you want in England?
