The Great Escape Bed Push The Great Escape Bed Push protests have now taken place each summer since 2005. Each year we symbolically escape psychiatric institutions, dressed in pyjamas and 'hot tail' it with a psychiatric bed to a place of safety and celebration. We aim to raise awareness about the over-use of forced treatments in mental health services and the need for holistic choice based services.

The NHS Confidentiality campaign was set up to protect patient confidentiality and to provide a focus for patient-led opposition the government's NHS Care Records System. This system is designed to be a huge national database of patient medical records and personal information (sometimes referred to as the NHS "spine") with no opt-out mechanism for patients at all. It is being rolled out during 2007, and is objectionable for many of the same reasons as the government's proposed ID database.

We are the British arm of a international organisation seeking to change the current relationship between the health professions and the pharmaceutical industry. This relationship is based on hospitality and patronage which is unknown and undeclared to the general public. Without action we will continue with the relentless medicalisation of society and further erode our collective sense of well being.
