This is really good news. Its concerning that in the UK anyone can call themselves a nurse and offer nursing services even if they have no qualifications, have been struck off or convicted Fully support this bill

No government in the last 10-20 years (since Blair really) has shown the slightest interest in retaining/developing the expert experienced healthcare workforce. In fact Tories approached us like we’re an expensive waste. Will @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social do better? Bring back seniority pay?!

Why is this so difficult for healthcare leaders to understand? Putting safety first means your most experienced staff nearest the risk, the opposite of what healthcare does.

The reality of private healthcare run for profit. This is why to 'save' the NHS the focus must be on investing in developing NHS infrastructure, services & staff larger than outsourcing to private companies.

So much is said about funding for the NHS £/person is a key metric, it’s also true that despite cash terms rises real terms are the same. Comparison with other peer countries is also important, if you underinvest for decades the infrastructure is not going to cope when it’s asked to do more

Unsurprising. ANPs being offered reduced pay ( enhanced nurse B7) as no digital badge yet MSc and years of pc experience ! Very long wait for eportfolio and this is being pushed back further. When is NHSE going to review this flawed policy? #primarycare www.nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/...

“The treatment is heavily skewed towards CBT, which despite being a well-established form of psychotherapy, can be considered overly distressing or invalidating to those who prefer other modalities of help.” And it’s not just a preference.
