Well as much as I've tried bluesky and the content is all very lovely and warm and fuzzy, big issues doesn't get the traction required to push for change. Alas. Back to twitter it is.

💰 Every UK GP trainee must pay nearly £1,000 for a single mandatory portfolio platform, FourteenFish, with no alternative. The platform is owned by #UnitedHealth, an org repeatedly fined & sued for fraud, anti-competitive conduct, and patient harm. 👇 https://t.co/KCsAixWbjc

The #RCGP, a charity with a £51.5m annual income, could well fix this. But they won't: Instead, they'll continue to gouge trainees to line their own pockets (and the pockets of UnitedHealth).

Or AIG insurance; again, you won't be covered by their insurance products unless you've installed crap developed by one of very few vendors:

Biggest scandal in the CrowdStrike fiasco is the "cyber insurance" providers who were instrumental in forcing companies to install this garbage product in the first place. Allianz insurance group only weeks ago, boasting of their 6.2% stake in CrowdStrike:

well done @ukfpo you've just radicalised 10k new doctors time for @ukfpo to get in the bin, long overdue do not pass go, do not collect £200k or whatever you get paid to cock up. every. single. year.

@gmcuk Full and fair disclosure: items re MAPs appear in public session later in the year ... but this stinks. No good reason for you to hide in the dark.
