This is, I believe, unprecedented in the history of UK medicine.
28 eminent UK doctors have written publicly to @LaylaMoran, the new chair of @CommonsHealth, to report something nothing less than scandalous.
Read their letter here (1/n) 👇

Interesting
I can't really wrangle a news story out of this, and i clearly won't get any on record quotes so i will just post it on line
I FOI'd @NHSEngland to ask them about the decision made a few months back to end access to @NHSPracHealth which has helped so many doctors

Would you like to know more about artemisinin resistance globally? Look no further!
Our paper reviews data of more than 112k P. falciparum samples since 1980 to provide a global overview of resistance.

Incredibly excited for the launch of Pathoplexus, which I've spent quite a bit of time helping with over the past year. New, open-source, infrastructure for sharing viral sequence data!
27 Aug 2024
📢 We're excited to introduce Pathoplexus, a specialized sequence database for human viral pathogens! 🌍 🧬
Launching with 4 viruses, Pathoplexus.org combines modern open-source software with transparent governance to improve global pathogen sequence sharing.
