This headline šŸ‘‡ will be no surprise to anyone who's been following @NHSEngland's plans (and actions) for a while.

But @JonUngoedThomas's article reveals some crucial details about what's intended for your #NHS #HealthRecords that are worth unpacking...

First, and possibly most significantly, is @NHSEngland officials' confirmation that its '#FederatedDataPlatform' will incorporate patients across England's #SharedCareRecords: Health officials confirmed ...
Why is this so important? Because #SharedCareRecords - which every new #ICS* is supposed to have - include your #GPdata, which @NHSEngland has been trying to get hold of for years (most recently last summer)...

@hfeldwisch erklƤrt hier wunderbar, warum #Homƶopathie als wirksam beworben werden darf faz.net/aktuell/wissenā€¦ #fplus
Zugleich zeigt er aber auch auf, wie der Einstieg in eine Politik funktioniert hat, die sich nicht mehr an Fakten orientiert. Die Dinge werden juristisch, nicht medizinisch-wissenschaftlich belegt. So ist es auch z. B. mit der #Gentechnik-Freiheit.
Viele Produkte @OhneGentechnik sind real gar nicht ohne Gentechnik. Nur juristisch. Das betrifft auch viele im Biolandbau gezĆ¼chtete Sorten. Sie gelten in einer Art "Binnenkonsens" als normal gezĆ¼chtet, obwohl sie mit (alter) Gentechnik produziert wurden.

Bad enough that @SensyneHealth has cost NHS Trusts nearly Ā£15 million - Lord Drayson's claim to be 'giving something back to the NHS' lies in tatters - but what people should *really* be asking about is the MILLIONS of #patients' data the company claims to be processing...
...because, as our letter to the Trusts in April pointed out, at least some of their patients' data that they handed over is #linkable #pseudonymised data - i.e. it is #identifiable, thus #PersonalData in UK law:

medconfidential.org/wp-content/uplā€¦ Pseudonymised Data  On the matter of the data itself, whethe
So while @SensyneHealth's #shareholders might want to check the company's claims about the #amount of NHS patients' data it actually has, those Trusts that HAVE passed #identifiable data to #Sensyne should terminate their agreements asap - and demand certified #deletion, too...

Good to see #motivation in addition to #competence, #honesty & #reliability.

It always bothered me that #sociopaths could pass Onora's three tests of #trustworthiness*; they can be entirely #competent, brutally #honest & (predictably) #reliable but...

...I still wouldn't necessarily feel comfortable #trusting them. (The same applies to corporate entities - some possibly even more so.)

@medConfidential's formulation - #consensual, #safe and #transparent - addresses a subtly different problem, which is that NO system will...
...always be 100% #trustworthy, and certainly not 100% #trusted - given #trust is ALWAYS 'in the eye of the beholder', and NEVER a property of a system.

#Governance and #accountability are key, of course. And maybe this time, we'll actually get what is #needed - rather than...

The most menacing aspect of #StandardizedTesting is the way it trains kids to fear making mistakes by labeling & shaming. Misunderstandings should be opportunities for breakthroughs in comprehension, but the tests teach that miscalculations are perverse transgressions.
Playwright Oscar Wilde made a magnificent observation in his novel "The Picture of Dorian Gray" when he wrote, ā€œMost people die of a sort of creeping common sense, and discover when it is too late that the only things one never regrets are oneā€™s mistakes.ā€
Oscar Wilde understood that creativity cannot exist without mistakes, & without creativity life lacks meaning. Kids live in fear of getting low test scores because they are used to label & shame at bestā€”& sometimes carry extreme high stakes (closing schools, denying graduation).

@Microsoft @ubuntu Image
3 hours ago I spun a Ubuntu 18.04 on Azure with a corporate subscription.
Now I get spammed over non-corporate channel by Ubuntu.

Margaret's blog refers to @NHSDigital's #DataProtectionNotice for the #COVID19 #GPES extract, but somehow omits to mention that people's #Type1 objections (#OptOuts) WILL be upheld: Image
And also that, according to digital.nhs.uk/coronavirus/gpā€¦, actually *enhanced* #InformationGovernance processes - involving both @TheBMA & @rcgp - will be in place for data #access, which "may" include respecting #NDOP on a "case by case basis": ImageImage
Meanwhile, @NHSEngland/@NHSX in their notice to health & care professionals (while notably failing to mention #Type1s...) confirms patients STILL have the right to #OptOut of having a #SummaryCareRecord, and that existing #SCR #OptOuts will be respected:

Iā€™m operating this morning so may have to halt this tweet stream midstream but want to talk about My Health Record and #optoutMHR.
By way of disclosure, I was invited on an ADHA Committee about MyHR last year. Itā€™s unpaid & Iā€™ve never attended because Iā€™m already fully booked with patients when they announce the meeting dates. Also, Iā€™m an AMA Federal Councillor. The AMA is broadly in favour of a national
medical record, but I make these tweets as a private citizen & surgeon, not because Iā€™m AMA affiliated. Also, I did a project on MyHR last year with non-directed funding from @avantmutual - a practice grant that supported a study into MyHR implementation in specialist practice.
