Great to host and deliver the microbiology module for the paediatric allergy, immunology and infectious diseases training programme at St Georges University Hospital on behalf of the @bpaiig.bsky.social. Really engaged group of trainees.
Ministers are exploring triggering the break clause in Palantir's NHS contract. I've signed the open letter to Wes Streeting calling on him to get Palantir out of the NHS. www.foxglove.org.uk/campaigns/we...
