A social media graphic from EveryDoctor showing a grayscale image of a worn hospital building in the background. A white arrow points across a horizontal timeline with four key markers: 1992: PFI Introduced. 1997: Rapid Expansion. 2018: New Projects Halted. 2025: New Private Finance Plans announced by the government. At the bottom, large white text with red highlighting states: "NHS trusts still owe more than £21bn on existing PFI deals"

NHS trusts still owe £21bn+ on PFI deals. Our new report, "Fix Hospitals or Fund Investors," reveals how these deals drain vital funds from patient care to private shareholders.

With new private plans for 2026, we must learn from the past.

A heartbreaking look at the reality inside our hospitals.💔

NHS staff are so "embarrassed" by the state of corridor care that they struggle to make eye contact with patients. When staff feel ashamed of their workplace, the system is at a breaking point.

The view of my childhood.
And what a sunset today.

"It’s just the way it is" isn't good enough.

We are gathering testimonies from NHS staff on the reality of corridor care.

By sharing these testimonies, we can advocate for a system that treats patients and staff with dignity.

John Nicholls (1662-1714) of Trereife's will stipulated that his widow Frances, born Foote, should not later be buried with him so ‘That after a toilsome and discontented life I may rest in peace and quiet.’ (modernised spelling). @lsangha.bsky.social

NHS privatisation is hiding in plain sight.

It’s called "Insourcing," and it’s time we shine a light on it. We're investigating the private companies profiting from our health service, we need your support!

That shopping bag needs its own account here. The tales it could tell...

I wish you a happy spring.

You made this happen.

National acknowledgment of corridor care? That’s a win for every single person who spoke up.

Now we need the staff, the beds, and the funding. We need the solution.

It's a game of two halves after all.

2 photographs of a biography of Marty Feldman. One has googly eyes added but it looks virtually the same.

Every time we see this Marty Feldman book it reminds us of that time we stuck googly eyes on it but all that happened was it looked even more like Marty Feldman. 👀

My college students are writing articles on AI and the future of the arts from a consumer perspective (they are electrical, motor vehicle and carpentry students resitting their GCSE English Language). When asked how they’d feel if they connected with a song or a story and were then told it was AI…

A social media graphic from EveryDoctor focusing on the St George’s Hospital neurology wing, set against a background of £50 notes. Two large boxes compare interest rates: the left box shows "Govt Borrowing rates at the time" at 5%, while the right box shows "Shareholder loan interest rates" at 17%. Below these, text highlights that this is 3.4x the cost of government borrowing, totaling £2.6m interest per year in a red banner at the bottom.

£2.6M. Every. Single. Year. 🚨

That’s the interest bill for ONE wing at St George’s.

Why is the NHS paying 17% interest to private shareholders when government rates were only 5%? This is a systemic drain on our health service.

EXCLUSIVE: 7 months ago, Ukraine tried to sell the U.S. their battle-proven technology for downing Iranian-made drones.

The Trump administration dismissed the Ukrainians, only to reverse course last week after more-than-expected Iranian drone strikes.
