The #Musk company is partnering with the University College London Hospitals trust [#UCLH] & Newcastle Hospitals to conduct the study, it said in a post on X.
#Neuralink said patients living with #paralysis due to conditions such as spinal cord injury & a nervous system disease called Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (#ALS) qualify to participate in the study.
At #UCLH A&E to support my partner, who’s been in acute pain for four days now. I’ve never seen an #NHS A&E so stretched on an ordinary Monday, and the wait time is brutal, but she’s getting seen and it looks like staff are doing an amazing job under the circumstances.
Also, if it turns out to be a sex injury, I’m going to be a little embarrassed. 🙈
Camden Council and University College London Hospitals (UCLH) were in the local and national media for all the wrong reasons over the weekend, with reports of council contractors, community presence officers, hospital security and the police evicting homeless people and throwing their tents into the back of a bin lorry.
The Camden New Journal’s Frankie Lister-Fell was there at 3pm on Friday 10 November to report the disgraceful actions.
“A week after the home secretary announced her desire to restrict the use of tents by rough sleepers, police officers, council community protection officers, hospital security staff and a team of Veolia workers descended on a camp of 11 tents outside UCLH,” she wrote.
“Heartbreaking to witness a coordinated operation between hospital security, police and Camden Council contractors descending on people who have nothing,” she wrote on social media.
The events unfolded in broad daylight with many people witnessing the operation. The homeless people were left with no shelter ahead of a night time temperature falling to around five degrees C.
Camden Council originally tried to deny they had anything to do with it.
“Camden has had no role in enforcing this eviction,” said a tweet from the council’s official account and reported by The Mirror.
But that tweet was later deleted as video and still footage uploaded by Streets Kitchen clearly showed that Camden Council’s own rubbish contractor and uniformed community presence officers — all with Camden logos — were part of the operation.
Routes Off The Streets, the organisation that Camden Council contracts to provide support for homeless people, was not present during the evictions.
Councillor Pat Callaghan, acting leader of Camden Council, later issued a statement saying: “We are deeply concerned to see these videos and I am ordering an urgent investigation into what happened.”
She went on to say: “I’m also concerned that our contracted waste operator has been engaged in this operation and I will be personally looking into why this has happened.”
But Callaghan made no comment about the involvement of the council’s community presence officers.
UCLH had initiated the evictions. “Following public health concerns, the police have helped to relocate (sic) some people sleeping outside the Grafton Way Building, a hospital treating immunocompromised patients,” said a hospital spokesperson.
However, a group representing immunocompromised patients hit back at UCLH to say: “Don’t use us to justify this abhorrent action!”
I look forward to reading the outcome of Callaghan’s investigation into her own council’s actions.
This is a council, remember, that didn’t even bother to count the number of people sleeping on its streets until a campaign by Fitzrovia News forced them to do it.
As for UCLH, it and its sibling UCLH Charity have form when it comes to evictions as we have reported many times.
“Rather than throwing away people’s homes, let’s find an answer in the community instead,” says CNJ reporter Frankie Lister-Fell.
“Please join us next Thursday for an informal meeting. Everyone is invited,” she says.
Camden has a homeless crisis, what can we do? 6pm, Thursday 16 November 2023 at St Michaels Church, Camden Road, London NW1 9LQ.
Streets Kitchen also has a winter appeal seeking funds to help homeless people this winter.
I'm fundraising for Haematology Cancer Care by cycling the 100 mile route of the #RideLondon
on Sunday, if you can spare a quid it would help the staff at UCLH cancer centre in London who treat my Uncle's Leukemia.
Thx!😄🚴🏽#HCCfamily
