This beggars belief.

@MattHancock has given Amazon access to huge swathes of NHS data to exploit however they choose - for free. The NHS won’t see a penny.

Our NHS is being sold off even as @BorisJohnson swears blind it isn’t.

💥Doctors💥 This GMC advice may be v relevant to you this winter:

Juniors, no matter how worried you feel, *please* document & escalate your concerns.

Seniors, please support & back your juniors in doing so.

CEOs, please lead from the top on this.

#BawaGarba #WinterCrisis
“Escalating & documenting concerns” - @gmcuk advice for dealing with unsafe, understaffed, crisis conditions - applies to CEOs as much as FY1s. If medicine’s leaders do not speak out - loud & clear - on impossibly overstretched conditions - what message does that send juniors?
Politicians may seek to bury bad headlines. But we in the NHS - doctors, nurses, managers, CEOs, medical directors - are there for our patients. Speaking out *has* to come from the top down. Really leadership means setting an example to frontline staff. Public candour. Please.

Hang on. I thought 50k more nurses were @BorisJohnson’s top priority?

Well, his pledge to reinstate the nursing bursary just unravelled.

A token bursary, sure. But student nurses will still have to pay uni tuition fees.

This is stunningly deceitful.
thetimes.co.uk/article/nursin…
This matters because patients matter. Applicants to nursing degrees fell by 20% when the Tories axed the bursary. And we’re short of 43k nurses.

But the bursary *included* paid tuition fees.

Now it doesn’t.

Why isn’t Johnson being held to account for this electoral dishonesty?

Elizabeth has witnessed the difference between the UK and US health systems. She knows the human cost of high prices. Don’t allow the US to sabotage access to meds on the #NHS.

EPIC THREAD!!!...
There has been a lot of debate on the impact of a #tradedeal with #Trump on #NHS medicine prices. Here’s a thread detailing why people are right to be worried… 1/
Firstly, the US has history. #Bigpharma spends more influencing politicians in Washington than any other industry. So the US has repeatedly used #trade agreements to force changes on countries that will boost the industry’s profits. 2/

#Brexit ALREADY costs UK £1bn pw as we Hit Holidays! @GoldmanSachs put that lower at £600m. but I'm looking at 2+% less GDP (than would have been); more Govt Debt (+interest); the growing impact of #Brexodus on jobs/taxtake; £devaln.&inflation creep, reducing Property values.1/20
@GoldmanSachs Am puzzled & mortified? that UK's so-called Major Political Parties @Conservatives @UKLabour seem umbilically disconnected? from the financial IMPACT of their recent (let's say) 'accidental collusions' and Brexit-Birth-Giving! Why the co-incidental & costly numeracy lapse? 2/20
@GoldmanSachs @Conservatives @UKLabour Assuming that (eg) @bankofengland @hmtreasury @ICAEW @The_IoD @cbicarolyn @FrancesOGrady are aware of UK's #Brexit financial haemorrhage? eg Govt Debt, Jobs/Tax, Businesses (all sizes), Individuals - there may be varying estimates? but agreement that a HUGE hit is ongoing! 3/20

The claim that the #NHS could be 'sold off' in a US/UK trade deal is ridiculous - a political storm in a tea cup.

But the storm has moved into #PMQs today. So here we go - 3 reasons why this is about political posturing and nothing else (thread).
1) Shock, horror: American companies can already bid, and win, NHS contracts. American companies own NHS hospitals (@GuidoFawkes thread below). People may not like this, but let’s stop treating it like breaking news.
2) As @jameskirkup highlights, US is not really interested in providing NHS services. Makes sense - it’s a monopoly provider. It wants more access to drugs market, which could translate into more available drugs and treatments in the UK.

@jamesmb
I want to address this tweet and the comments that followed. It seems that some of you did not get the point.

#NHS #StopBrexit #FBPE #PeoplesVote
The point is this:

The UK has access to technetium-99m because it's a member of an international treaty facilitating its trade & movement. Without it, treatment & detection of certain cancers is much harder, waiting lists will grow and people will die.

The further point is this:

There are 9.5 months to go until the UK drops out of EURATOM. 9.5 months is not enough to negotiate a brand new treaty or to join an existing one on another continent.

1 of 80) Please bear with me, because the following is filled with plenty of foul language & I'm taking off the professional mask to speak with you as a human being. I've had enough & I've hit my limit, putting up with all the #MeToo bullshit in #CDNpoli, #ONpoli, & #CDNmedia
2) For the past 2 years, you've been ruining my #FamilyDay because the lot of you picked this holiday to shove an alleged child molester down my throat. It's the ultimate in sick behaviour & your choice of holiday is astounding, to champion the cause of #ChildPorn in #CDNpoli
3) What's worse is that forcing me to say those words actually makes me appear like I'm out-to-lunch. Your outrageous acts of gaslighting, censorship, & obstruction, have made it impossible for anyone to tell the most important #MeToo story in #CDNpoli currently
