Melanie James+FollowGov’s Big NHS Plan: Just Hiding the Crisps?The new 10-year NHS health strategy is getting roasted for being all about ‘hiding the crisps’ instead of real change. The plan? Supermarkets might have to push healthier snacks, and there’s talk of points for eating well—redeemable for vouchers! Critics say it’s just more ‘nanny state’ stuff and doesn’t fix the real NHS issues, like getting a GP appointment. Would you swap your steps for coffee shop discounts? #NHS #HealthStrategy #NannyState #Health #BodyHealth00Share
Kristi Key+FollowSepsis: The Silent Hospital KillerDid you know sepsis kills more people in England than lung cancer? The NHS watchdog just called out hospitals for missing the signs way too often, leading to thousands of avoidable deaths every year. Families are even being ignored when they try to warn staff something’s wrong! The worst part? We actually had better sepsis care a few years ago, but things have slipped. It’s wild that this is still happening in 2025. #SepsisAwareness #NHS #PatientSafety #Health #BodyHealth18693Share
rachel60+FollowWhy the NHS Said No to ‘Miracle’ Alzheimer’s DrugsEveryone’s buzzing about those new Alzheimer’s drugs, but here’s the tea: the NHS just said no. Turns out, the so-called ‘miracle’ treatments only slow things down by a few months—and come with some pretty intense side effects and hospital visits. Plus, they’re super pricey (think £25k a year!). Experts say the benefits just don’t stack up against the risks and costs, at least for now. The debate’s getting heated, but the NHS is sticking to its guns for now. #Alzheimers #NHS #HealthNews #Health #BodyHealth61Share
