The NHS was founded on the principles of healthcare for all, free at the point of delivery, which we believe includes migrants, asylum seekers and refugees. Fighting xenophobia and trying to improve access for the some of the most vulnerable members of our society! 🤝

BREAKING: New research shows migrant & BAME communities excluded from the #NHS during coronavirus
🚫The #HostileEnvironment stops Migrants seeking healthcare
🚨The @DHSCgovuk #Covid exemption from charging is not working
🏥Migrants face a range of additional barriers to care

Migrants with no recourse to public funds were already found it tough before #COVID19.
Our Rapid Needs Assessment shows the pandemic has plunged them into further poverty & destitution.
That's why we're calling on the PM to #scrapNRPF. Will you join us? lght.ly/didg4pe

The government’s decision to scrap the immigration health surcharge for NHS & care workers must be extended to EVERYONE.
We believe that NO ONE should be forced to pay a double tax because of where they’re from.
Watch & share our video + join the call to #ScrapTheSurcharge

I love reading so here’s a little thread of books that may be of interest - they have all influenced my clinical practice, research & activism in some way. #medtwitter /1

Amazing work @Medact we need to support this, following the example of the Irish govt. & removing ALL barriers to NHS access.
Today we've joined forces with @JCWI_UK & @libertyhq to amend the emergency #CoronavirusBillUK to:
🏥 End all NHS charging
🚫 Ensure no patient data shared with the @ukhomeoffice
📢 Force @DHSCgovuk to inform everyone of their right to access care
We only beat #COVID19 together
