The NHS stands at a crossroads. With a new government, we have a once-in-a-generation opportunity to rebuild our healthcare system. Join us in fighting for the NHS that patients and staff deserve!
The NHS is facing the greatest crisis in its history. Patients wait in pain for time-critical medical treatment. Dedicated healthcare workers struggle in crumbling facilities. A&E departments buckle under unbelievable pressure. But together, we're fighting back!
So far in autumn 2024...
We've created a powerful Doctors' Manifesto for the NHS, bringing together the frontline experiences and solutions of over 400 doctors. This comprehensive ten-point plan provides a clear roadmap for safeguarding lives and supporting our hardworking NHS staff.
We've delivered 4 high-impact parliamentary briefings, where doctors spoke directly to MPs about the crisis on the frontlines. Each session was backed by comprehensive briefing documents, packed with data and real experiences (access the full briefings here).
We've mobilised a high level of parliamentary engagement, with 117 MPs now actively involved in our campaign. They are either attending our sessions in person, sending senior staff, or requesting our briefing materials. The feedback and level of interest has been very positive.
We've launched a groundbreaking investigation into the financial links between MPs and the private healthcare sector too. We are concerned about the ways that money is currently moving through Westminster. We don't think there should be any financial links between politicians and the private healthcare sector, and we think it is crucial that the public understands what is happening.
And things have started to happen already...
Our Doctors’ Manifesto for the NHS spoke to concerns about the expansion of the workforce of physician associates and anaesthesia associates taking on traditional medical roles. We have contributed to the public conversation regarding these concerns about the expansion of the physician associate workforce. Wes Streeting has now announced a review into the roles.
Our Doctors’ Manifesto for the NHS also expressed concerns over the role of the GMC moving forward and called for the 'fair and robust regulation of healthcare professionals and managers'. In November 2024 an open consultation was announced: 'Leading the NHS: proposals to regulate NHS managers'.
Our Doctors' Manifesto for the NHS calls for better funding for the NHS, including GP services. During phase 1 of our #RebuildTheNHS campaign, we explained to MPs the urgent need for increased funding in our briefing materials, and shared powerful testimony highlighting the problems. Wes Streeting has just proposed a boost in funding for GP services.
Thanks to the incredible support of thousands of people we have achieved so much already. But we still have a lot to do...
When we reach our crowdfund goal, we will:
1. Launch an intensive MP engagement campaign, including dedicated sessions for Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland, ensuring every corner of the UK has a voice.
2. Continue to support politicians to advocate for necessary changes to safeguard lives and support NHS staff.
3. Complete and publish the painstaking research we are carrying out, investigating the links between all MPs and the private healthcare sector to:
a. Build public awareness
b. Reveal connections between politicians and individuals and organisations linked to the private healthcare sector
c. Create an accessible public database of our findings
d. Seek media coverage to ensure maximum public awareness
e. Equip supporters with clear, actionable information to challenge their representatives
EveryDoctor stands as a leading voice in the campaign to rebuild the NHS, bringing together patients, doctors and supporters in the fight to restore the NHS to a fully publicly owned and operated service. As a non-profit campaign organisation, we're powered by people like you who believe in an NHS that's fully public, properly funded, and true to its founding principles.
