Hey guys 👋,
I’m going to take a few days off Twitter. Since Julia Hartley-Brewer shared inaccurate information about myself + @EveryDoctorUK’s masks in December, the abuse from trolls has been unrelenting and escalating. This has taken an enormous personal toll; and it’s been…
…extremely difficult to step away from social media as the ‘figurehead’ (for want of a better word) of our non-profit @EveryDoctorUK.

I work online, and talking to our community is central to everything I do. We’ve met with a lawyer who specialises in….
…defamation cases, and we’re considering our next steps. I need a little bit of headspace to think about what’s best.

In the meantime, it would mean the world to me if you could consider joining EveryDoctor. The support of our community to grow our team and make our work…
…sustainable will allow us to fight harder for NHS patients+staff, and will allow me the space to think clearly about what we should do next.

I really appreciate your support, you’re brilliant. Speak soon, Ju x
Here’s where to join us. I hope you will 🤞everydoctor.org.uk/join-everydoct…
There’s some lovely comments here, thank you so much guys; you’re really kind. I’m fine, I just need a bit of headspace so I can think things through and make good decisions👍

I am so fed up of this ‘NHS charity’ nonsense. The NHS is not a charity. It is a public service. This 👇is on the ‘NHS charities together’ website

There should not be corporate partners aligned with ‘NHS charities together’ in this way. These initiatives mask NHS underfunding…
…and normalise the partnering of the NHS with the private sector in peoples’ minds.

Yes, in some areas individuals have set up charities and I don’t doubt their altruistic intentions. But ultimately, I disagree with any fundraising ‘for the NHS’. It’s nonsense…
…people should direct their efforts into speaking up politically about the intentional dismantlement of the NHS by this government, preparing it to be sold off piecemeal to private companies.

If you want to support the NHS, please start talking about this urgently…

It’s a bit difficult talking about this, but I’ve had some space and time now so I feel able to. The inaccurate information shared about me by Julia Hartley-Brewer directed a huge, huge amount of online abuse in my direction. It was relentless, and it continues….
…I have young kids. It happened during the Christmas holidays. My team were on annual leave. It was frankly horrendous. No one should face online abuse because things which are not true are being spread about them by well-known journalists. We aren’t going to drop this…
…because I don’t want others facing the same treatment.

For clarity, we sell masks. We are a non-profit. The EveryDoctor website is not ‘my website’, it is the organisation’s website. I do not sell anything for profit. We are a non-profit. In fact I do not even receive free…

🚨Guys, this is really important. Incredibly important. Please take two minutes to read this🚨

Our patients and our NHS staff are being failed by a government which wants the NHS to fail, because they want to privatise it. It already is privatised in part, and public awareness…
…about this is low, because many Conservative MPs simply deny that privatisation exists. This is mind-boggling, and yet true.

We now have a situation where the austerity cuts, staff shortages and service cuts are being blamed on COVID-19. Don’t get me wrong, COVID-19 made…
…everything a lot worse. But the waiting lists and the problems were happening before the pandemic arrived. And now?

Now patients are suffering, staff are suffering, and there’s no end in sight. Sajid Javid has been more interested in gaslighting NHS staff than in fixing the…

I hope you’ll forgive me for sharing this thread about my personal circumstances. I am being trolled, because I am being misrepresented+insulted. This information below is already in the public domain.

I am a doctor. I qualified in 2010. My husband is also a doctor; an ICU…
…consultant. I set up EveryDoctor because I wanted to improve things for NHS staff and patients. We were living in London (in 2018); we had a 1 and 2 year old. I couldn’t afford to give up my job and pay for childcare while setting up EveryDoctor. We renovated a small cottage…
…in Ireland, where childcare is much cheaper. I stopped working clinically for a year and lived in the middle of nowhere, taking no earnings, to set up EveryDoctor. My husband worked away a lot. It was very hard. EveryDoctor started to gain members…

I have been tagged a number of times in some Twitter comments suggesting that EveryDoctor is trying to claim credit for others’ work or falsely claim involvement in the NHS pay rise campaign (amongst other misinformation). Politicians are picking up on this and engaging with it…
I have attached above a photo of an article from August 2020 we contributed to, about the NHS pay campaign. We also ran a large MP briefing at the time and have collaborated with other groups. We failed in a recent video to recognise the significant contribution of one nursing…
campaign group in the pay rise campaign. This was a human error at a busy time, and we’ve said sorry. We are meeting this group early next week to take steps to recognise their valuable work publicly. This same thing has happened to us many times; we recognise it’s frustrating..

UPDATE re Julia Hartley-Brewer from @EveryDoctorUK:

“On 28th December, Dr Julia Grace Patterson received a text message from someone claiming to be Julia Hartley-Brewer, following her tweet containing factually inaccurate information about our masks…
Dr Patterson has never shared her phone number with Julia Hartley-Brewer. Her employer, talkRADIO, has Dr Patterson’s phone number on record for legitimate journalistic purposes. If this text message was from Hartley-Brewer, it is likely that she has accessed it inappropriately…
in breach of GDPR laws…

We are taking this up with talkRADIO, Hartley-Brewer’s employer. We have contacted talkRADIO for details of their Data Protection team and have heard nothing. We are contacting them again now. If we don’t hear back by the end of tomorrow, we will…
