šØ SOS NHS coalition response to the #Budget2026 ā¬ļø
@andyburnham's government have refused to deliver any increased investment into our struggling health service, a devastating blow for NHS patients and staff.

Water companies want to be rewarded for their failure with even more of your money. Ask your MP to email the Chancellor ahead of Wednesday's budget. Stop the bill hikes and let them go bust! weownit.org.uk/block-bills-hā¦

Royal Free Hospital @RoyalFreeNHS
Gave me severe PTSD and robbed me of much of my self worth. They knew I wasnāt a candidate for outpatient hysterscopy but attempted anyway having lied about wait times for GA. They then made me feel like my pain was my fault.
Never again

I've been looking at research on #outpatient #hysteroscopy, who will experience pain, how bad will it be, what can be done to "lessen" "minimise" pain OTC meds,VR, Music,water pressure,heat-pads -endless. But none suggested #anaesthetic as the answer! Why? @BSGE @RCOG @GIRFT

šØPalantir is so worried about losing its Ā£330m NHS contract it's hired Labour's ex-deputy leader @tom_watson to step into Peter Mandelson's shoes as its lobbyist ā¬ļø

Sainsbury's has posted an annual profit of Ā£1.02bn.
It current has 10,000 young people working for free, paid by you.
With Ā£1.02bn it could hire 105,905 people aged 18-20 for 16 hours a week all year.
Why not MAKE the scumbags hire instead of giving them free workers?
We have until Thursday 29th October to stop Thames Water from being bailed out yet again at our expense

ALT Graphic with quote from Feargal Sharkey that says "āThames Water is due to run out of money (again) over the next few weeks. A year and half ago, it was given a Ā£3 billion bailout. Now it is asking for another 2.4 billion. We really are being taken for mugsā, with additional text saying "6 days to get Andy Burnham to block the bailout: Sign the petition"

Doctors attributing physical symptoms to anxiety before adequately investigating them is gaslighting

PIP is underclaimed because the DWP systematically denies it to people who need it, which is why 80% of rejections are overturned on appeal. Letās talk about the Ā£30 billion or more every year in unclaimed tax through rich people tax dodging before we target vulnerable people eh

š”š”It is offensive that Thames Water could be bailed out and then allowed to hike our water bills AGAIN, beyond the 36% average hike by 2030 already approved
Our director, @CatHobbs, has written to the government to block the bill hike and take water into public ownership

Hereās Hysteroscopy risk of pain in graphics at the best selected clinics on selected patients using the BSGEs very own survey.
This was then used as evidence but called research in RCOGs guidelines .@NHSGIRFT have set targets for 90% diagnostic to be done in outpatients.

i had a biopsy of my cervix taken without numbing medicine because most male doctors believe women have no pain receptors in their cervix and let me fkn tell u somethin
I just went to get an IUD consultation at a gynecologist and she goes, we can do it here, but just so you know, we don't numb. We won't numb your cervix here. And I go, why? And she goes, because the doctor at this clinic doesn't allow it. And I said who is that doctor? She pointed towards a male gynaecologist & said ādear even if I request it, he won't allow itā. And then i asked that male gynaecologist why he won't allow it, he told me because apparently, according to him, that's actually not even where the pain's coming from. So it doesn't even make sense to numb the cervix. i said its painful and he replied āits a part of being a womanā

I 100% support this petition asking @RCPsych to stop diagnosing children with personality disorders. When my diagnosis was changed from bipolar to borderline in my late 20s, there was a noticeable shift in the way medical professionals treated me. My behaviour hadnāt changed, but the whole atmosphere was different. I was taken less seriously, treated less kindly and generally pigeonholed as ādifficultā.
As the petition says, I canāt see any benefit to attaching such a stigmatising label to a child. A diagnosis is not required to help young people access evidence-based care. Please sign and share!
Buried in the small print: any changes to PIP have to fit a budget set before the review even started. Sign to demand disabled people's evidence comes first. the.organise.network/campaigā¦
