Today I'm joining MPs & campaigners outside Parliament for a #patientsafety rally urging the govt to implement the #firstdonoharm recommendations. Too many lives have been affected by avoidable harm. It’s time to listen, learn, act. #patientsafetyday #mesh #primodos #valproate

A mum who blames a controversial plastic #mesh implant for her crippling pain has blasted the Scottish Government for continuing to use the products. dailyrecord.co.uk/news/mum-who-b…

The doctor….. “He just said it was a piece of tape that went across your bladder, and it would help with the incontinence." Years later the real truth is slowly being revealed about the use of toxic polypropylene plastic mesh that ‘glued’ to internal pelvic organs and structures - and the worst part is that no one discussed removal should the surgery fail, so NO ONE was prepared or trained to perform dangerous and complex removal from our pelvis’s - it’s beyond irresponsible and reckless @DHSCgovuk ‘Of particular concern to the researchers was the discovery of polypropylene particles within the tissue surrounding the implantation site. The concentration of these particles was significantly higher— over 10 times greater—after 180 days than at 60 days. The researchers say this raises critical questions about the stability of PP mesh and its suitability for long term implantation in women.’sheffield.ac.uk/news/vaginal-m…

Well done @CommonsWEC for getting this promise: "NHS England will hold a roundtable on procedural pain in spring 2025" It will "identify system changes required to prioritise the recognition & management of pain" The Campaign Against Painful Hysteroscopy needs to be invited.
