I don't know what a "lover-level condition" is, and I don't want to try to picture it. www.bbc.co.uk/news/article... @privateeyenews.bsky.social
People with "lover-level conditions" would no longer receive payments, instead account run by local councils and mayors would provide for needs such as transport and equipment.

It's "list cleansing" time in the NHS again, which means if you get a letter please respond or you will be removed from your GP surgery. Here is a encouraging song from Lancashire and Cumbria LMC. youtu.be/MGFUKP70ZwE?...

I would be a little more cautious. These figures are about process, and not outcomes. Treatment intensified for 500 patients, and you would hope that this reduced mortality and saved lives, but nobody seems to be measuring this at the moment.

The terminology server itself has a FHIR interface. You can use Shrimp or Snapper and can apply for API key and use whatever language you want with FHIR library. It is a server rather than public facing. I built (with AI) a page of our unit's valuesets based on that back end. snomed.gpcontract.co.uk

The actual Terminology Server is still up. May just be a local thing on the browser. I had not heard about the deprivation. I have a load of valuesets on there so would need to plan (although we do have something in development)

AI chatbots agree with users 49% more often than humans do — even when users are being deceptive or harmful. A new Science paper shows this "sycophancy" isn't a quirk. It's a design choice, and it has real consequences. 1/5

Is there a company with a good solution to this? Obviously these cannot be connected to individual flat meters, but also should be cheaper than public charging. Can this be done with allocated spaces? I would be interested to see what works and how people approach landlords.
