NHS DIGITAL is looking to centralise digital records from across England into a single database, which will be shared with researchers and commercial partners. You have until June 23, 2021 to opt-out of your NHS data being shared with researchers and companies outside of the national health service. Privacy campaigners have raised serious concerns about plans from NHS Digital, which will see the medical histories of more than 55 million patients in England imported into a new database, including mental and sexual health data, criminal records, and more sensitive information. The database will go online September 1, 2021 in England.

"Ugh, I messed up again." "Why am I such a failure. Nothing I do works out well." "My life is just one bad thing after another. How did I end up here AGAIN?"
