Sepsis can kill in hours. For some women harmed by surgical mesh, it has meant intensive care, induced comas, organ failure and a fight for survival. More than half our support group live with recurring UTIs and a fear of becoming antibiotic resistant. slingthemesh.co.uk/when-mesh…

Great to attend an event hosted by @UKSepsisTrust and hearing about plans to improve care for patients. More than half of mesh injured suffer constant UTIs, many end up in A&E and sadly some of our members have died of #sepsis

Primodos families were a key part of the #FirstDoNoHarm report into 3 women's health harms - yet were left out of financial redress talks.
It's time to compensate #primodos #mesh and #valproate families

Andy Burnham has said he will work to 'get justice' for the victims of the Primodos scandal.
Burnham paid tribute to campaigners, who have suffered harm due to the pregnancy test drug that was used between the 1950s and 1970s.

❤️💙 Mesh redress returned to Parliament again today, with powerful contributions, including Health Minister Dame Diana Johnson who confirmed she had watched the MAZE mesh documentary and expressed determination to see this issue addressed within the lifetime of this Government

Sharon Hodgson MP: "We are at a stalemate on #mesh redress; the Government changed hands after the Hughes report, but we are now over 2 years on. Will the Leader of the House meet me and Sir Julian Lewis Member to discuss how we can move forward?

More great news for the campaign. Sharon Hodgson and Sir Julian Lewis raised financial redress for women harmed by pelvic mesh in the House of Commons. The Leader of the House recognised the profound impact on women and frustration over the lack of a response to the Hughes Report

😱Women with autoimmune conditions are up to 74% more likely than men to be told their symptoms are psychological and face much longer waits for a diagnosis and treatment, new study says.
Sadly we see this denial every day in our support group theguardian.com/society/2026…

Women with pelvic mesh complications say they're 'floating in the system' according to new research. Delays, repeated investigations and uncertainty leave them feeling unheard. The study highlights the value of specialist services and clinicians who listen slingthemesh.co.uk/navigatin…

😱 Real comments from healthcare professionals to members of our Facebook support group.
#Medicalgaslighting and #medicalmisogyny is a hallmark of the mesh scandal. Women reporting complications are too often dismissed or disbelieved, leaving them without the care they need.
