Keep Palantir away from new NHS data system, unions warn

CONTROVERSIAL US tech firm Palantir should not be allowed to develop a new NHS system amid fears “creeps” will be allowed access to a patient’s entire medical records, unions warned ahead of a parliamentary debate today.The NHS Modernisation Bill is set to establish the Single Patient Record (SPR) system for fragmented health information to be joined up across the country. It’s billed as allowing patients to view their medical notes and prescriptions through the NHS app and providing clinicians with a holistic view of a patient’s health.

Shameful. Dentists should hang their heads in shame!

So many dentists now only take on private patients, with current NHS patients often having to travel hundreds of miles to get treatment on the NHS, if they can get it at all, yet we read millions of pounds are unspent.

Is this in a bid to privitise the entire service that only the rich can afford?

I repeat: dentists should hang their heads in shame!

Dentists return £900m after failing to see NHS patients

Sum represents £1 out of every £7 they have been given by NHS as dentists opt to chase private work.

This is the horrendous system #Starmer and every other Tory wants for Britain.

They are deliberately hobbling the #NHS so they can usher in their friends' companies and grow rich on the profits from a worse healthcare system that charges for things like HOLDING YOUR OWN NEWBORN CHILD.

fuck me

The level of racism horrifies me and it sadly grows if left unchallenged. I do understand that challenging these patients in the circumstances you describe may well be unwise. I owe my life to immigrants from numerous countries working in the NHS and will forever be grateful 💙 Also, it was a neighbour who came here on HMT Empire Windrush who provided me the greatest community support when I needed it most.

The final paragraph of William Fear's The Long Read article
"We can’t even get basic care done’: what it’s like doing 12-hour shifts on an understaffed NHS ward" is too long to quote so I attach a screenshot. I also feel immense grief.

Thank you for sharing Nikita Gill's "Softer, Stronger People" - beautiful 💖 NHS staff deserve our awe as they struggle to provide care despite government's apparent desire to do everything in their power to privatise the NHS and demoralise remaining staff.

After a 3 year hiatus, I received a letter yesterday inviting me to attend Eye Clinic later this month at a local general hospital. Given the situation with flu, COVID-19, scarlet fever, etc., I’m astonished that mask-wearing is not mentioned at all. The only warnings are that non-attendance will result in discharge and automated reminder alerts will be sent. 😡

Everyone needs to read this, about the designed disintegration of the #NHS

The Tories promised X new hospitals and Y000 new nurses (I forget the precise lies). Now look at us. A failing system in a failed state #ProtectOurNHS

‘We can’t even get basic care done’: what it’s like doing 12-hour shifts on an understaffed NHS ward

The long read: The NHS saved my life once, and inspired me to change career. But when I started as a healthcare assistant on a hospital ward for older patients, it was clear how bad things had got. This is the story of a typical shift

🔹 The National Health Service began on 5 July 1948.
🔹 I qualified as an NHS professional over 50 years ago.
🔹 I fear I may witness the demise of the NHS if urgent action isn't forthcoming.
