- 5,362 Signatures
(Estimated Final Signatures: 5,401 - 486 added in the past 24hrs)
Urgently review the current approach to shared care agreements (SCAs) in England. We think a review could help ensure all SCAs are reviewed individually and fairly and not refused. We want better integration of privately diagnosed patients into NHS pathways, and continuity of care.

(Estimated Final Signatures: 3,985 - 5 added in the past 24hrs)
In October, the government asked NHS England to adopt the IHRA definition of antisemitism, without public consultation. Serious concerns were raised by Doctors in Unite and over 23 other organisations. We think the definition has serious flaws threatening freedom of expression and political debate.

- 3,552 Signatures

Parents of seriously ill children should be offered proactive mental health support from diagnosis, through treatment, and in grief. Unlike perinatal parents, they get no dedicated help. We want this support made a standard part of every child’s care.

Amend the Medical Training (Prioritisation) Bill to prioritise doctors based on length and quality of NHS service, not merely immigration status, ensuring experienced NHS doctors are fairly considered for specialty training - overall supporting workforce retention and patient safety.
