When the NHS was founded, it was meant to work hand in hand with a housing system. Now, our health system and our health are suffering.

If we want to be healthy, we need to fight for housing.

Call for an End to All Fighting in Iran - Medact Today we welcome the news of a temporary, two-week ceasefire in the USA and Israel’s war on Iran. It is now essential that the USA and Iran stay at the […]

We endorse this demonstration because safe, secure, and genuinely affordable housing is fundamental to health justice.

If we are serious about reducing health inequalities and advancing health justice, we must get serious about housing.

Brick by brick, home by home, so our health can thrive!

NHS mental health trust withdraws from counter-terror police programme Birmingham-based trust says programme that enabled police to access medical information 'no longer considered to align to strategic priorities'

Medact research manager Hil Aked welcomed the Birmingham trust’s decision to withdraw from the programme, describing it as “unethical and Islamophobic”.

“Mental health workers should be providing patients with care, not spying on them for police.”

Big news! @bma.org.uk now advising doctors not to engage with Palantir's NHS data platform! They say there must be a "complete break from Palantir technologies in the NHS", due to the company's track record, e.g. with ICE, and the risk to patient trust. www.bmj.com/content/392/...

Police tech doesn't predict crime. It predicts policing.

Fed on flawed police data, so-called 'crime-predicting' tech automates racism and discrimination against overpoliced communities.
