Keep Left - Joe on the Road October 2014

People's March for the NHS
August / September 2014
Where we began - the 999 People's March for the NHS. Thousands of people came together to join the Darlo Mums and "300 milers" as we marched from Jarrow to Trafalgar Square. Visit our Archive, to see where we went and what we got up to!
National Day
of Action
14th February 2015
Selection of some major events from the past
2015 - Hackney Empire played host to a fundraising NHS comedy extravaganza. Comedians and celebrities gathered to both celebrate and support the NHS. We were guests of honour along with other campaigners and NHS Staff who are still fighting to save our health service.
2016 - Together with over twenty local and regional campaign groups we organised two meetings with then Shadow Health Secretary Heidi Alexander and John McDonnell.
In the process we presented evidence from all over the country that bore witness to the damage being done by privatisation.
TESTIMONY
2017 - Hundreds of campaigners joined us in signing a letter of protest against the lack of transparency in the STPs. Is your name there?
Campaigners held protests in their local areas sharing the same message - STOP the STPs.
Some Memories
Just a selection of events and activities that help us remember the courage and determination to all the NHS Campaigners we have met and worked with since 2014
We've been asked if we will share more of our old pages with you. Keep popping back to see if one of your memories is here.
Thanks for all your support.

An intimate insight into the campaign world - that the public don't always see...
OPEN STP LETTER
THE NHS REINSTATEMENT BILL
We have been involved with the Bill since 2014. The only piece of draft legislation that calls clearly for the renationalisation of the NHS.
GP APPOINTMENTS
Conversations with GP Dr Bob Gill, 2016 and we were already seeing th signs of the changes to GP services that were so damaging to both NHS Staff and patients.
NHS DETECTIVES
Online invetigations that we started in 2015... although we discontinued specific investigations these led to long lasting campaigner relationships and strategies
THE BIG NHS QUIZNIGHT
Still a resource for those looking to organise a public event with a different way into discussing the issues.
THE BIRMINGHAM PROCUREMENT EVENT
Our first experience of the reality of Health Conventions and big corporate profit seeking healthcare. Be prepared to be shocked.
LETTER TO STEPHEN HAWKING
The companion Judicial Review JR4NHS was joined by Sir Stephen Hawking. He spoke out for the need for a renationalised NHS.
HOW COME WE DIDNT KNOW?
Marion McAlpine's photo exhibition of private healthcare offices that are surprisingly - everywhere!
2017 - Early videos made to try and understand what we were facing with NHS England's imposition of Footprints - Sustainability & Transformation Plans/Partnerships
FOOTPRINTS VIDEOS
JUNIOR DOCTOR STRIKE
Many campaigners joined the Junior Doctors on the frontline strikes. A difficult fight against the establishment with a Health Secretary hell-bent on destroying the workforce and the comprehensive nature of our healthcare system
HEALTH SELECT COMMITTEE DUBIOUS IN ACTIONS
Cross Party Health Select Committee seemed to be ignoring the obvious in 2018. We felt we had to ask "Democracy, what Democracy?"
Campaigners quickly rallied together when we understood the full impact of the STPs.
STPs - The Final Attack
GLORIA & ALEXANDRA
Party politics is driving the country to ruin- allegiances overriding common sense and moral duty. Gloria and Alexandra are two former Tory party supporters who have turned away from party politics.
REBUTTALS & ALLEGATIONS
Politics has been a confusing and emotionally charged arena over the last 5 years.
And we have found ourselves (despite best efforts) embedded and embroiled in the dirty game. This is one such incident where we were accused - along with other campaigners - of bbigg a rogue lefty group planting dangerous seeds in the Labour party...
