Campaign & advocacy group | leading group litigation for all UK NHS HCWs injured by occupationally acquired #SARSCoV2 | #CovidisAirborne | #CleanTheAir
Joined September 2022
ATTENTION 📣 all NHS healthcare workers occupationally injured by #Covid Thousands of HCW contracted covid at work in absence of adequate airborne protections. Legal recourse is now the only route for those injured to seek justice and support for themselves. 1/
NHS staff with long Covid are now losing their jobs in droves. Beware-on applying for industrial illness benefits, if asked if you filled your car with fuel, the application goes no further as you might have caught Covid from touching the fuel pump handle

I've been working as a receptionist at a UK GP surgery for nearly a year now. Here are some observations about recurrent trends/problems I've noticed 🧵 (1/)

This looks to me like a request based on patient safety, good medical practice and the rule of law I would happily sign a reply urging these data be shared - it’s in the public interest
Me: requests emails between GMC and RCPAs. GM(AP)C: no; this is vexatious. ???

Are NHS trust governors aware of NHS de-skilling? Have other doctors or patients approached them before?

A friend asked the @DWPgovuk why they part funded the #pacetrial and if they had funded any other trials for any other diseases and if they had an agenda #MEAwarenessWeek
I remember when Tom Whipple from @thetimes wrote about the #PACETRIAL for the first time in 2018 and I tweeted him to tell him it was part funded by the @DWPgovuk - He didn’t believe me, because it is absolutely crazy The #DWP haven‘t funded a trial since. How is that possible?!

Great, but this isn’t returning a faulty toaster to a shop and getting a refund. This is systematic, coordinated theft of public money that was supposed to be used to save lives! We don’t just want a refund! WE WANT PROSECUTIONS!
The scandal of Tory waste and dodgy pandemic contracts continues. This government refuses to publish details of 36 PPE contracts worth £1bn which failed to deliver. Labour will appoint a Covid Corruption Commissioner to claw back every pound we can. https://t.co/OvLqk4GQoP

Basically the whole PA profession, in the U.K., is built on lies and conflicts. Totally embarrassing for the U.K. but detrimental to patients
More evidence of HEE funnelling money to Ex FPARCP Presidents PA recruitment company Conflicts of interest abound, yet the research in @FutureHealthJ still stands Source: https://t.co/fBYTnV09Qo

Why do journalists allow politicians to get away with talking about covid in the past tense when the ONS have recently reported that the number of people with long covid is INCREASING!? Around 2M people now have long covid in England and Scotland. #PoliticsLive

And i will repeat again The whole PA work? Smacks of bias from employers & @NHSE_WTE Deliberate or otherwise? That’s what is being tried And that? I have to push back against Anytime now to get involved @BAPIOUK would be good
Message on an IMG group: a very dedicated doctor, locally employed in a reg role, losing their job for a PA. They were planning on staying, but now desperate to find a job in an overly saturated market, after having been through the same hurdle last year, wth NHS?!

Infuriating How can @NHSEngland justify paying a PA with a fraction of the expertise and training of a doctor £30k more? Tell me why any doctor should stay in the NHS when they are undermined like this. This is your mess @RCPhysicians & @rcgp
