I've shed tears of absolute joy seeing your report - best one yet to really highlight the shameful scandal of Primodos. We've a lot to thank @Malriel for. Not least because it was her advocacy that led to the #firstdonoharm review in the first place. Thanks Jason

the rapid adoption of AI with minimal education of how to use it is really astounding in medicine right now. the implications are going to be likely negative and longstanding.

Primodos families were a key part of the #FirstDoNoHarm report into 3 women's health harms - yet were left out of financial redress talks. It's time to compensate #primodos #mesh and #valproate families
'As prime minister, I will work to get justice for the Primodos victims.' Andy Burnham responds to Yasmin Qureshi MP on whether he will take action for those affected by the hormonal pregnancy test Primodos, which has been linked to severe birth defects and miscarriages.

❤️💙 Mesh redress returned to Parliament again today, with powerful contributions, including Health Minister Dame Diana Johnson who confirmed she had watched the MAZE mesh documentary and expressed determination to see this issue addressed within the lifetime of this Government

Sharon Hodgson MP: "We are at a stalemate on #mesh redress; the Government changed hands after the Hughes report, but we are now over 2 years on. Will the Leader of the House meet me and Sir Julian Lewis Member to discuss how we can move forward? hansard.parliament.uk/common…

😱Ground. Hog. Day. Shoulder mesh ZuriMed’s FiberLocker system is designed to reinforce the strength of rotator cuff repairs, using a needle that mechanically weaves the fibers of a polyester mesh implant into the underlying tendon. massdevice.com/stryker-compl…

Sepsis can kill in hours. For some women harmed by surgical mesh, it has meant intensive care, induced comas, organ failure and a fight for survival. More than half our support group live with recurring UTIs and a fear of becoming antibiotic resistant. slingthemesh.co.uk/when-mesh…

Great to attend an event hosted by @UKSepsisTrust and hearing about plans to improve care for patients. More than half of mesh injured suffer constant UTIs, many end up in A&E and sadly some of our members have died of #sepsis Know the signs: sepsistrust.org/

💙❤️We stand in solidarity with the Primodos famillies - it is thanks to them and the tireless advocacy of @Malriel that we had the #firstdonoharm review by Baroness Cumberlege in the first place.

Researchers implanted polypropylene prolapse mesh into rats then used human umbilical-cord cells to modify the body's response to the plastic. If the body reacts badly enough to require such research why are we implanting plastic mesh into women at all? bioengineer.org/stem-cell-ve…

More great news for the campaign. Sharon Hodgson and Sir Julian Lewis raised financial redress for women harmed by pelvic mesh in the House of Commons. The Leader of the House recognised the profound impact on women and frustration over the lack of a response to the Hughes Report

Patient harm has a huge human and financial cost ➡️£5.1 billion a year (NHSE) ➡️15% of health spending linked to harm (OECD) For #mesh patients costs keep mounting: repeat surgeries, pain meds, recurrent UTIs, mental health support, reliance on benefits imperial.ac.uk/Stories/Natio…
