Four new core team members have been announced by the NHS Survival team. They include patients and professionals, and each brings their own passions about the NHS to the call for a Royal Commission which could help create true long-term sustainability for the NHS.

NHS Survival has announced the launch of a new action initiative as part of the lobbying plan to get all MPs on board with the call for a Royal Commission.

NHS Survival founding member and GP representative Dr Zoe Norris went viral this week with her impassioned plea to patients to join the call for a Royal Commission for the NHS.

NHS Survival spokesperson Dr Hamed Khan, and CEO of the Nuffield Trust, Nigel Edwards, were interviewed by Matt Frei on Channel 4 news.

The organisers of the public engagement event 'Crash Call for the NHS' have hailed Saturday's turn-out as a huge success. Thousands signed up to attend the free event held in London.

The call for a Royal Commission from the NHS Survival team has been sent to all English MPs. Letters to all constituency representatives have been sent, and many MPs have begun replying.

On Saturday the 22nd August over a thousand healthcare professionals will be coming together and talking to the public about the NHS.

The Scottish Government has confirmed by e-mail to all doctors in training that a new contract will not be imposed on them in Scotland.
