    Hi Elizabeth I actually know the people in the Cell Trend study and had my blood flown to Germany for testing at their labs in 2021. Unfortunately your GP is right, cell trend is a research laboratory and these tests are recognised by the NHS. I was highly positive for quite a few. I do know the people involved in the AZ litigation and I'm afraid it's not quite as plain sailing as you can imagine. Their solicitor has already dropped a ton of the cases and I'm afraid it'll be a hard battle. I have multi system issues, neuropathic but also cardiac If you'd like to join our private charity support forum you are most welcome, just email us at enquiries@ukcvfamily.org

    FAST EFFECTIVE WAY TO GET CURED FROM HERPES VIRUS Hello! I’m very excited to share what worked for me to everyone. I’m completely cured from my HSV1&2 with the use of natural medicine. I have used Oregano oil, Coconut oil, Acyclovir, Valacyclovir, Famciclovir and some other products/supplements and it hasn’t helped ever since I was diagnosed. I got outbreaks frequently and was completely devastated and I went online for a possible cure and how to get rid of Herpes. On a fateful day after taking my bath, I took my phone and was going through some research, I bumped into a testimonial of a Herbs doctor { Dr Awase } who cures diverse diseases/viruses with Herbal medication. I was hopeful but also doubted the claim. But after a while I thought “what do I have to lose?” so I decided to reach out. He prepared a cure using roots and herbs which I steadily took for 14days as prescribed by him. I am quite glad I decided to reach out because I am totally cured from Herpes after a medical checkup was done by my Dr. So I’ve decided to make a quick testimony for anyone out there who is probably suffering from an illness they can’t handle to reach out to Dr Awase. He specializes in curing lots of illnesses such as HIV, ENDOMETRIOSIS, PCOS, OVARIAN CYST, INFERTILITY, HEPATITIS A,B,C and lots more. I’m here to let you all know that you can also be cured just like me and you don’t have to live with any sort of illness for the rest of your life.

    Firstly, there is currently an ongoing case against AstraZeneca for vaccine injury indemnity notwithstanding. There is also the fact that the government is legally liable for any claims against AZ anyway Secondly, I am planning to mount my own case against AstraZeneca and the Govt. One of my best friends is a solicitor and she is helping me. If you want to join me, you are welcome to do so. I do not know precisely what your symptoms are, but since you state that they are neuropathic, you probably have the similar ones to those I have been and still am experiencing, I have been doing a lot of research and there is a study published at the end of last year which discusses the findings into an investigation into cases suffering from Post Acute Covid Vaccine Syndrome PACVS conducted by a German research facility called CellTree GmbH. The study in question is Chronic Fatigue and Dysautonomia following COVID-19 Vaccination Is Distinguished from Normal Vaccination Response by Altered Blood Markers - PubMed (nih.gov) Another article discusses links between the AstraZeneca and Fibromyalgia :Pain associated with COVID-19 vaccination is unrelated to skin biopsy abnormalities - PMC (nih.gov) I asked my GP if I could be referred for tests to investigate what the vaccine has done to me. He told me that the NHS will not fund such research and that if I want to have such tests done I have to have them done privately. I am going to investigate the possibility of having such tests done. If you are interested I will keep you posted.

    Hi, we at patient Safety Learning are looking to hold a virtual round table in the last week of June to look at how to improve patient safety related to the implementation of EPRs. If you are a clinician who has been directly involved with the roll out of an EPR, then you could be part of the event. All notes taken at the event will follow Chatham House rules and your participation will not be disclosed outside the round table group if that is your preference. If you'd like to be involved, please contact me (Clive Flashman) directly at support@pslhub.org Many thanks, Clive

    In this Guardian article. Palliative Care doctor Rachel Clarke examines the debate around legalising assisted dying, focusing on the need to ensure patients do not want to end their lives due to lack of adequate health and social care. She highlights the risk that if assisted dying were legalised, patients might be coerced into choosing death "not by some rightwing politician or avaricious family member, but by the woeful inadequacy of their care." She goes on to look at wider attitudes to the dying in the NHS, pointing out that hospice care is mostly funded by charities, not the NHS, and that last year in England, almost 14,000 people died in A&E while waiting more than 12 hours for a bed.

    This systematic review and meta-analysis in JAMA Network Open investigated whether perioperative telemedicine can reduce the incidence of adverse events in abdominal surgery. The findings suggest that perioperative telemedicine is associated with reduced risk of readmissions and emergency department visits after abdominal surgery. However, the mechanisms of action for specific types of abdominal surgery are still largely unknown and warrant further research.

    A health system has stopped sending mental health patients to the country’s largest single provider of out-of-area placements. Southern Hill Hospital in Norfolk provided more than 18,000 bed days classed as OAPs for NHS patients last year, with Greater Manchester Integrated Care System (GM) being the main contributor to that total. However, HSJ has learned that GM’s integrated care board and mental health providers have decided not to send any more patients to the provider. The move comes after a recent visit to and review of the service at Southern Hill by GM commissioners. This, in turn, followed concerns about the “co-ordination” of patient care at Southern Hill received by GM. The exact nature of the concerns is unclear, and the ICB said in a statement “no significant safety or quality concerns were found and feedback from patients was positive,” when it carried out its review. The ICB said the decision to cease placements at Southern Hill shortly after the concerns were raised was a coincidence, and that the move was part of its strategy to reduce OAPs.

    A 15-year-old child was prescribed dangerous levels of hormones by an unregulated online clinic without speaking to a doctor, a court ruling has revealed. Now 16, the teenager, known as J, was born female but identifies as a boy and has an autism diagnosis. J got a prescription for testosterone and puberty blockers from Singapore-registered GenderGP in late 2022. He had previously been unable to get the treatment through the NHS. Judge Sir Andrew McFarlane said: "There must be very significant concern about the prospect of a young person such as J accessing cross-hormone treatment from any off-shore, online, unregulated private clinic." The judgement highlights the lack of NHS gender services for children and young people in England and Wales, after the closure of the Tavistock Gender Identity and Development Service (Gids) in April. Gids, rated as "inadequate" by inspectors in 2021, was the only specialist gender clinic for children and young people in the two countries. The judgement says that, as a result: "There is no relevant NHS service available for J." Although the prescription was from a private doctor, J was given injections of testosterone by his local NHS GP every six weeks between January and August 2023. An expert witness in the case, Australia-based consultant paediatric endocrinologist Dr Jacqueline Hewitt, was critical of the lack of physical and psychological checks carried out by GenderGP on J. Dr Hewitt also raised concerns about the size of the doses of testosterone given to J, describing the level of the hormone in his blood during his treatment as "dangerously high".

    The theme of this year's World Hand Hygiene Day—which takes place on 5 May—is 'sharing knowledge'. In this blog, hub topic leader Julie Storr looks at the question of why it's still so important to share knowledge about hand hygiene. She highlights the power of sharing knowledge to save lives, the need to address research gaps and that hand hygiene should be integrated into all aspects of frontline care.  She also shares tools and resources that can be used to help train and equip frontline healthcare professionals.

    Local authorities fund many of the services—such as housing, education and social care—which either support or tackle the drivers of health inequalities. The Institute of Health Equity (IHE) has looked at every local authority in England and plotted levels of health, inequalities in health and cuts in their spending power. This report provides information from 17 local authorities with statistically significant increases in inequalities in life expectancy. The report shows, since 2010, central government spending cuts to local authorities were highest in areas with lower life expectancy and more health inequalities, further harming health in these places. It also confirms widening inequalities in life expectancy between regions in England and within local authorities since 2010.

    This study in JAMA Network Open aimed to determine whether magnetic seizure therapy (MST) has comparable efficacy to modified electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for bipolar mania. The results suggest that MST is associated with a high response rate and fewer cognitive impairments in bipolar mania and that it might be an alternative therapy for the treatment of bipolar mania.

    Hundreds of breast cancer patients have travelled more than 100 miles for diagnosis and treatment after waiting times soared at another health board because of staffing shortages. NHS Grampian, which previously received NHS Tayside patients because of staffing problems in Dundee, is now sending its own cases to Larbert, near Falkirk, because its breast cancer department can no longer cope. About 520 people from the Aberdeen area urgently referred to hospital with breast cancer symptoms have travelled to the Forth Valley Royal Hospital for diagnosis with some going on to receive their treatment miles away from home. It is anticipated that at least another 330 Grampian patients will be sent to Forth Valley while the waiting lists are brought under control in Aberdeen.

    A study cited at the infected blood inquiry as evidence that the devastating consequences of blood products contaminated with hepatitis could not have been foreseen, misrepresented the results of a trial in making its case, according to the Guardian. Up to 6,520 people are believed to have been infected with hepatitis C through imported factor VIII blood products in the 1970s and 80s, while a further 26,800 are estimated to have been infected with the virus though blood transfusions. About 2,000 people are estimated to have died as a result. The inquiry, which publishes its final report on 20 May, heard that the medical profession considered non-A and non-B hepatitis (later known as hepatitis C) as “relatively benign” at the time, with Pier Mannuccio Mannucci’s 2003 paper, 'Aids, hepatitis and haemophilia in the 1980s: memoirs from an insider', quoted in support of this proposition. Mannucci’s 2003 paper argued that the view held by “the great majority of haemophilia treaters was that the problem of hepatitis was a tolerable one, because the benefits of concentrates seemed to outweigh risks”. In making his argument, Mannucci cited his own work, writing: “A prospective biopsy study was undertaken by me … in 10 haemophiliacs with non-A, non-B chronic hepatitis followed up for more than six years. The study, published in 1982, demonstrated no case of progression towards cirrhosis or haepatocellular carcinoma.” However, the original 1982 report says that there were actually 11–not 10–people included in the study and “one patient with active cirrhosis died of liver failure during the follow-up period”. Who knew what about the risks and when is a key plank of the inquiry. Read full story Source: Guardian, 2 May 2024

    In the first half of 2023, Covid-19 killed 42,670 people in the United States, while the flu killed about half that amount. Yet half as many people received the updated covid booster as those who got the flu shot — even though covid is twice as deadly as influenza. In all, around 22% of people have received the new covid booster, while 47% of people have had a flu vaccine. Experts said much of that covid-shot resistance is due to the continued polarizing nature of the pandemic and of the covid vaccine, which has been shown to reduce the risk for Long Covid as well as serious acute viral infections and deaths. "Public health messaging is also to blame for the lower-than-normal covid vaccine rates," said Dr Al-Aly, a global expert on Long Covid and chief of research and development at the VA Saint Louis Health Care System. "Patients need to better understand that the role of the vaccine isn't to completely prevent covid but to reduce the likelihood of hospitalisation and death, similar to that of a flu shot. By reducing the risk for severe disease, the vaccine also reduces the risk for Long Covid, a debilitating condition that's still poorly understood, has no cure, and has already caused thousands of American deaths," he said. Botched public health messaging also allowed for misinformation to run rampant. Rare adverse events associated with the COVID vaccine have been severely overplayed and spread like wildfire on social media. "Patients need to know that like any vaccine, vaccine injury does occur, but these vaccines have a better safety profile than almost any others," Al-Aly said. "The rewards of getting the vaccine far outweigh the risks, and patients need to understand that." Read full story Source: Medscape, 2 May 2024

    Leading pharmacists have blasted the government over “shameful” increases in the cost of NHS prescriptions. From 1 May they will increase from £9.65 per item to £9.90. Pharmacists across the country have hit out at the increase, warning it will disadvantage working patients on lower incomes. And the National Pharmacy Association (NPA) said the move will create an “arbitrary barrier” to people’s ability to receive healthcare. According to an NPA survey, patients have already reported not getting regular medication due to the costs. Antibiotics, pain killers, asthma inhalers, blood pressure medication and antidepressants are examples of the most commonly reported medicines which patients have not taken due to cost. Hundreds of pharmacies reported seeing patients decline medicines due to the cost of prescriptions, one to five times a week. Nick Kaye, chair of the NPA, said: “To allow the prescription charge to rise to this level is a shameful neglect of working people on low fixed incomes, who are not exempt. Many people already choose not to collect some or all their prescription medicines because of cost, with potentially dire health consequences. As pharmacists, we understand the healing power of medicines. So naturally we oppose arbitrary barriers to people getting the medicines they need. This is a tax on the working poor that deepens the cost of living crisis for them." Read full story Source: Independent, 1 May 2024
