The MILLIONS of people who were denied vaccines are suddenly realising.

@rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social this was a terrible idea.

Not only will the NHS struggle this autumn / winter, but people will suffer and die unnecessarily.

It isn't too late for a U-turn!

Community Pharmacy England

Q

Pharmacy teams have reported major issues to us over the last two days related to large numbers of patients booking COVID-19 vaccinations via the National Booking System (NBS) who are not eligible for the vaccine this winter.

We are working with NHS England to try to address this unacceptable situation and to get more NHS communications issued to help people understand whether they are eligible for the vaccine.

In the meantime, we have created three posters that pharmacy teams can use to help explain about vaccine eligibility this winter:

50% of UK electricity is made through cheaper renewables but we don’t see the savings, profits go to energy companies because the price is set by the cost of expensive gas. Sign this petition to ask Government to change the rules. petition.parliament.uk/petitions/72...

Petition: Ban cheap renewable energy from being charged at the price of expensive gas

Mandate energy providers to stop charging the same price as expensive gas for much cheaper renewable energy. We think they should pass any savings on to consumers, rather than keeping them as profit.

Keep it up - from experience, petitions don't drive themselves (unfortunately!).

Lives will be at risk. The NHS will face more pressure. Covid is as serious as 'flu and also requires updated seasonal vaccines.

We can stop this!

Now 99 universities officially making redundancies, and I've heard of a few more to take us over the 100 mark. If I were a student, I'd be 'shocked and offended' by that more than anything else. Still nothing is done. qmucu.org/qmul-transfo...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

They say it can’t be done, but here we are, California is generated 106% of California’s entire state electricity demand from renewables.

California has a population bigger that 154 other countries around the world. It’s the 4th largest economy, in the world.

Let that sink in.

It's utterly absurd that UK hospitals pig-headedly refuse to act to prevent airborne infections even when being overwhelmed by them, causing avoidable deaths & disability. Petition closes 11 May. It needs 10,000 signatures for a Government response. Currently around 7,000. If in the UK PLEASE sign🙏

Inclusive New Normal @inclusivenew.bsky.social · May 9

If you're not quite ill enough; if you're not clinically vulnerable but would like to be, head to a UK hospital.

Brexit's disastrous impact on the NHS led to 1,485 extra deaths per year, according to a new academic study.

Researchers say after the 2016 leave vote, EU nurses left & were replaced by less experienced or skilled staff, which had knock-on effect for patients

There’s thousands of job losses taking place across our world class higher education sector. Yet Labour don’t seem to care about these job losses.
