In January the BBC covered a story about our campaign and concerns around the use of Oxevision. This is the video from the BBC South West coverage (although there was other national and regional coverage)

1/ Super work #StopOxevision #StopLIO. PS IT IS NOT POSSIBLE TO GIVE CONSENT TO SURVEIL TECH LIKE OXEVISION LIO. This is not CCTV. They calibrate "AI" w plans to do so-called prediction of high-risk behavior. They're data use is future & open-ended, that's why meaningful consent is not possible.

Allowing for a bittersweet celebration of the reach, and the hope-filled vital advocacy from #StopOxevision #StopLIO #Oxevision #LIO bittersweet because the surveillance is so oppressive, disrespectful, and backed by so much power all while they'll be telling you it's for your own good,so efficient

In my evidence to the Lampard Inquiry on behalf of @stopoxevision.bsky.social, I refer to a NHS trust who outlined a business case for using Oxevision, justifying its cost through a reduction in ward staff numbers. This is @combinednhs.bsky.social North Staffordshire Combined healthcare

NHS confederation @nhsconfed.org

Sure, share the BBC news coverage of the Lampard Inquiry/ Oxevision but you have platformed Oxehealth / LIO health countless times and have them (and the legal firm representing them) listed as 'associates' on your website. Do you see the irony?

There is potential for people at Lio/ Oxehealth and EPUT to have to reckon with the consequences of their actions, the answers they give will form the recommendations that Baroness Lampard gives in the 2027 report.

Whatever this new GP triage system is, it's really not working because they told me to go to A&E for a really really minor issue and then the person wouldn't speak on the phone because she wasn't medical, so I guess the options are getting called a time waster in A&E or "hope for the best" ??
