Just treatment - putting patients and the nhs before profit.

Copy of Patient leaders.png

Everyone deserves fair access to high quality healthcare. But right now thousands of us are being denied this.

Pharmaceutical companies are charging prices so high the NHS and patients simply can’t afford the medicines. And healthcare corporations are slowly taking control of more and more of the NHS.

This profit-driven agenda is putting all our lives at risk. We’re a group of patients determined to change this, and we know just how powerful patient organising can be.

Together, we’ve taken on big pharma - and won. We’ve made national media headlines, shifted government policy and transformed the lives of thousands of patients. Our work has been recognised by a David & Goliath Award from the Sheila McKechnie Foundation and a Tenacious Award.

Now, we are mobilising patients in every corner of the UK and in countries across the world to fight for an end to corporate power in our health systems and a fully-funded, publicly owned and operated NHS.

Read on to find out more, and join us today. ✊

 

Problem

The NHS is facing its greatest crisis in history. Thousands of patients are being denied access to the care they need and health services are on the brink of collapse.

Causes

Years of privatisation and underfunding have decimated the NHS. The government continues to put the profits of private health corporations and big pharma before patients’ health.

Solution

When patients organise collectively, we can take on corporate power - and win. We’re fighting to win a transformed NHS and pharmaceutical industry run by the people, for the people.

 WHO WE ARE

Just Treatment started in 2017, with the aim of building a powerful, patient-led campaign to take on the big pharmaceutical companies that rip off the NHS and price medicines so high the people who need them can’t get them. Since then we’ve expanded our campaigning work to fight the politicians and corporations intent on picking apart our national health service.

We continue to be lead by a group of volunteer leaders - many of whom’s stories you can read here. Our small staff team is made up of:

  • Our Director Diarmaid

  • Our Head of Organising & Campaigns Emma

  • Our Head of Digital Comms & Impact Hope

  • Our Senior Pharma Organiser Gayle

  • Our Senior Youth Mental Health Organiser May

  • Our Digital Content & Growth Officer Allaa

Just Treatment has been hosted by NEON, a not-for-profit organisation, as we get established. We on track to be established as separate not-for-profit entity by mid 2024.
