The abuse directed towards EveryDoctor, and specifically myself, since Julia Hartley-Brewer tweeted false information about our masks has been unbelievable. We have spoken to a defamation lawyer who feels we would have a strong case against Hartley-Brewer. However…
…I don’t have the appetite for a legal case currently. I want to devote my attention to NHS staff+patients, and opposing the dangerous Health and Care Bill. A legal case would serve as a distraction when we’re holding this government to account. We’re therefore not going to…
…pursue legal action at the current time. We will review this at a later stage.

We sell reusable masks + they help to fund our non-profit organisation. No one profits. We will continue to sell our masks, regardless of the lies circulating. Ju, @EveryDoctorUK 💙
I’m attaching the link here to our website, where we sell our masks. They are beautifully made and help to fund our non-profit, which advocates for NHS staff and patients: shop.everydoctor.org.uk

Thread 🧵I’m getting really concerned. This government have failed the public continually during this pandemic. They and a complicit media seem to have convinced most people that COVID-19 is over. Meanwhile, we are in the middle of another wave. The COVID-19 cases are rising…
…hospitalisations are rising, deaths are rising. And meanwhile, public health measures are being removed. Free testing has been hard to access, now being removed for most people. Mask rules are being relaxed, and the public don’t understand what’s going on. I have an inbox…
…full of doctors telling me that they’re struggling to staff hospitals safely because so many people are off sick. NHS waiting lists in England alone are the worst on record, 6.1 million. And yet people have been convinced by the rhetoric. Somehow they think it’s over….

🧵I’ve lost 3000 followers in the past 24 hours, due to criticising JK Rowling.

I’ve had some messages suggesting that I shouldn’t use my personal Twitter account to express my views, and instead should only speak about my work. Let me tell you about my work.

I was working…
…as a doctor in psychiatry, doing my speciality training in London. When you work as a psychiatry doctor in the NHS, you care for the people in society who struggle. Many of those people have been let down by politicians, let down by society, and let down by barriers…
…and I learned a great deal about humans, and how we treat one another, and what the consequences are on a human level.

NHS patients are let down by a system riddled with structural barriers. NHS staff are also let down; treated terribly by a government which has underfunded…

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…

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…
