So we have a staff group who are disproportionately exposed via occupation to infectious diseases, psychologically distressing situations, bullying culture, who will undergo their own chronic health disease events, and you're wondering why the avg is 19 days off...
Enlightening.
NHS staff took 28m sick days incl 8m for mental health in 2025:
Keen to hear from other businesses whose staff take:
Average 19 days sickness pa
Including:
5 days mental health issues pa

Why the NHS is failing #826363839
1. Fragmentation of care.
Itβs almost impossible to read a clinical story in GP notes now. Itβs messages and anima requests and βfailed encountersβ when someone canβt answer the phone. (1/n)

So doctors are legally obliged to reject a Β£15 box of chocolates from a patient as a βconflict of interestββ¦
β¦but the bloke in charge of the ENTIRE BRITISH MEDICAL SYSTEM can take ~Β£400K from βprivate health sourcesβ since coming into officeβ¦
β¦and thatβs totally okay???

Forget everything youβve been told about calories
Calories only measure how much heat a food gives off when burned in a lab, but your body doesnβt burn food like that. It breaks it down and uses the molecules to make energy, hormones and enzymes.
A donut and Greek yogurt may have the same calories, but one causes a glucose spike and the other doesnβt! What matters is the molecules inside your food, not the calories π©π©π©

Phone the hairdresser and find it fully booked you think "they must be really popular they're so busy"
Phone the GP and find it fully booked you think "they're lazy and mustn't be working"
That's how the media and politicians have spun the public against their GPs

102,000 hairdressers in England with 40,000 salons
27,000 GPs with 6200 Surgeries
31 million people visit GPs every month a similar number have haircuts
You can see the problem @wesstreeting @DHSCgovuk judging by Wesβs trim he is going to the hair salon a lot more than his GP

Why can I see Registered Nurse roles out for Β£12-14 per hour in Yorkshire.
I was earning Β£11.09 TEN years ago.
What a travesty.

Iβd like to talk a bit about the Leng Report, and thank Prof Leng and her team.
Itβs quite extensive, and addresses various parts of the MAPs issue, so I wanted to discuss various parts in isolation than go through it chronologically.
But, please do also read the report.

Labour: we will build community health hubs
@DrSteveTaylor points out that we already have 6,000 GP practices which are effectively community health hubs, but governments continue to underfund them
I'm all for ambition, but isn't Dr Steve Taylor right?
Tax junk food and ultra-processed food aggressively to tackle obesity and use it to support affordable, fresh unprocessed UK produce.
Support your small businesses - community care and farmers.
Not multinational private healthcare, pharmaceutical industry and junk food industry.
