Proposal to Replace PIP with ACDP Gains Momentum
At DisabledEntrepreneur.uk, we support the ACDP approach because it is designed by disabled people, for disabled people, and recognises the full reality of daily barriers. We reject any system that forces claimants to “prove” their disability-related costs with receipts or spending controls, as this strips people of dignity and human rights. Disabled people know best how to manage their own lives and finances; what they need is trust, fair support, and recognition of the extra costs they face, not surveillance.

Gum Disease and Lack of NHS Dentists
Gum disease, or periodontal disease, typically begins with gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums caused by plaque buildup. Signs include red, swollen, or bleeding gums. The good news? In its early stage, gingivitis is fully reversible with proper oral care and professional cleaning.
However, if untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, an advanced and irreversible condition. This stage involves deep pockets forming between teeth and gums, leading to bone and tissue loss, and eventually, potential tooth loss.
GP Time Management Costing The NHS
The current model of care in General Practice and community healthcare needs urgent reform. The focus should be on maximising efficiency, empowering pharmacies, and most importantly, respecting the patient’s time. As closures increase and inefficiencies pile up, it is only a matter of time before more patients fall through the cracks, unless meaningful action is taken now.
Overprescribing Anti-Depressants: The Good, The Bad and the Ugly
Antidepressant use has soared over the past two decades, with the UK alone seeing a doubling in prescriptions since 2008. While medication can be life-changing for some, concerns are growing around its overprescription, especially for patients who may not need long-term pharmacological treatment. From the reluctance of GPs to offer fast-acting relief to the alarming trend of children being medicated, it’s time to ask, are we medicating emotion at the expense of wellbeing?
Big Pharma, Pharmacies, and Sustainable Packaging
In an era where innovation is at the forefront of healthcare, one fundamental aspect remains overlooked: accessibility and sustainability in pharmaceutical packaging. While the UK pharmaceutical industry, commonly referred to as “Big Pharma,” is known for its cutting-edge research and distribution networks, the end-user experience, particularly among vulnerable groups such as the elderly, disabled, and those with mental health challenges, is often ignored.
