So with all of our new followers, it seems sensible to tell you a little bit about who we are and what we do! EveryDoctor is a membership collective of doctors and medical students which is supportive of doctors and who believe in the NHS and what it does for all of us.

We have just over 1650 members, and we also run The Political Mess on Facebook, the largest private doctors' group of its kind, so that we can draw from as wide a pool as possible, with some small caveats.

We're an explicitly inclusive organisation, with a firm anti-racist, anti-bigotry platform which we seek to protect. We want to be a place where groups who're more vulnerable or marginalised for a range of reasons are able to speak up, so we hear their voices too.

When the pandemic began, our petition of 45000 voices called on the Health Secretary to deliver masks, goggles, gowns and gloves to every NHS worker, not just frontline staff. Because of our persistence, NHS England changed its guidance on eye protection and procedures like CPR.

As the cases worsened, we stepped up our efforts. We ran 17 parliamentary briefings with MPs to give them the facts about the crisis. 104 cross-party MPs from every nation backed the #ProtectNHSworkers campaign. More details at:
