TownOsteo - let’s talk - optimising health together

UK doctors are the canary in the coal mine.

Their union, The British Medical Association, in my opinion are zealot religious ideologues that are returning to their roots - To “burn” the UK house down in order to restore power & money to the doctors.

They have no choice - It’s the way the system is designed - adversarial & reactionary. Winning or loosing is not relevant. The process must occur.

Simple Behavioral economics - it’s untenable to give the resident doctors another 30% pay bump & not give every other health worker at least 20%. Otherwise we face further work resentment, burnout, lack of motivation & care. I’ve seen this play out first hand. History repeats.

The British Medical Association is pushing Veganism!

Their latest collaboration with The Lancet Countdown on Health and Climate Change and Plant-Based Health Professionals UK now extends into dietary advocacy — promoting a 100% plant-based direction for the UK.

This is deeply concerning.

I don’t think there is substantial evidence, as they claim

‘Eating a plant-based diet has been shown to significantly reduce the risk of our commonest chronic diseases, whilst helping you live a longer and healthier life.’

Who’s pushing these tropes?

Public health guidance should be founded on robust, balanced nutritional science, not ideological positions.

It’s time for clinicians, scientists, and policymakers to re-centre discussion on evidence, not advocacy.

Be honest with the public!

The same motifs we see in global politics play out quietly within healthcare regulation in the UK — power and wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, while ordinary people become collateral damage.

When a small, well-connected minority campaigns loudly enough, the system bends to their will. The rest, constrained by bureaucracy or fear of non-conformity, fall into line.

Healthcare deserves better governance — one built on transparency, evidence, and moral courage rather than influence and inertia.

A footballer & his clinician (me!) unable to access basic care information. Let’s campaign for change.

Human beings are being deliberately harmed & entire professions & services ruined - for what?

A letter sent by senior members of the union has been condemned for advising doctors to sabotage the Pharmacy First scheme, which they claim undermines them

The same situation for NHS Musculoskeletal services (backs, shoulders, knee pain etc).

Deep generational corruption in the NHS provides poor value for money, little quality, next to no service & patients left in pain without adequate answers.

I’m working on a project exposing some of this.

It costs the Tax-pay £109 per NHS physiotherapy visit (phone or in-person!)
