Medact research manager Hil Aked welcomed the Birmingham trust’s decision to withdraw from the programme, describing it as “unethical and Islamophobic”. “Mental health workers should be providing patients with care, not spying on them for police.” www.middleeasteye.net/news/nhs-men...

Big news! @bma.org.uk now advising doctors not to engage with Palantir's NHS data platform! They say there must be a "complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS", due to the company's track record, e.g. with ICE, and the risk to patient trust. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

To our fellow health workers, and all those showing us the real meaning of community care in the USA: we stand with you because we know our struggles are the same. www.medact.org/2026/blogs/f...

We are looking for several new Trustees, a new Chair of the Board of Trustees and a new Treasurer to help oversee our governance and support our work. If you share our vision and passion, why not join our Board and help us fight for health justice? www.medact.org/2026/jobs/va...

“Our real demand is that we should not even allow ICE in our hospital at all,” Morgan emphasized. www.blackrosefed.org/hospital-org...

The government blames “supply and demand,” but the housing crisis is man-made: 🏠 Buy-to-let landlords selling up or passing on costs. 💸 Years of weak tenant protections. 📈 A lack of affordable housing. www.theguardian.com/money/2025/o...

Some of our partners joining us at #HCD2025 include Peckham Palms, Centric Labs & Latin Elephant. We’ll also be joined by @medact.bsky.social, sharing insights from their participatory community research and the Nags Head Healthy Homes campaign 🏡

A fantastic opportunity for ant-nuclear activists to meet up and learn more about the movement to abolish WMD, in London on 01 November.

Yes. Yes. Yes. One of the many reasons I love @medact.bsky.social is because they have the courage to speak the truth. So whilst the majority of NGOs applaud Trump’s deal, it’s heartening to see this statement call it what it is: a colonial project that robs Palestine of autonomy.

The ceasefire agreement, and accompanying Trump-Netanyahu 20 point plan, lays out a deeply colonial approach to the future of Gaza. 👇https://www.medact.org/2025/blogs/statement-on-gaza-ceasefire/

🚨 T-2 weeks until we host: Building a Nuclear Weapons Free World – an evening lecture, conversation and drinks reception in London, free and open to all! Interested in learning more about the movement to abolish weapons of mass destruction? Join us ⬇️ www.medact.org/event/nuclea...

BREAKING: Hundreds of health workers have written to The King’s Fund demanding they cut ties with Palantir, who are currently supplying the Israeli military with advanced AI warfare for use in Gaza. The King’s Fund are health washing one of the world’s most violent companies! 👇
