Today, with huge thanks to Ealing Hospital, we planted a tree - the UK’s only memorial to NHS staff who have died by suicide. May they rest in peace, and may we redouble our efforts to stop it happening ever in the future. 3/3

I’ve been meaning to write a thread about this for a while so here goes… for the benefit of anyone who’s struggling as a new dad, here’s a frank account of my first few weeks of parenthood. It was difficult to write so I’m afraid it’s a long one! 🧵 (TW: post-natal depression)

Tory leadership contest latest: Sunak - I’ll increase poverty. Truss - I’ll kill everyone.

So the government are telling nurses, to consider their patients before they go on strike. This comment is entirely insulting to all nurses. The government should consider the patients when they are setting the pay of those who are caring for them.

I was interviewed for @EveningStandard alongside some other amazing nurses about why I'll be voting in favour of Industrail Action. standard.co.uk/news/london/wh… #nurse #savestaffingsaveslives #FairPayForNursing

BREAKING: Asked if she regrets her choice of words in saying she "detests the Tories", First Minister Nicola Sturgeon has said: "No."

The NHS is in crisis. Patients are unsafe. Our members are saying loud and clear: enough is enough. For the first time in the RCN’s history, our members have mandated strike action throughout the UK. RT to support nursing. #FairPayForNursing bit.ly/3tieEGQ

Nurses and midwives please stop going on national news saying you don't go in to it for the money but the calling. As soon as you put forward this argument your undermine your requirement for a payrise. You are worth more. You should earn more. You deserve more. End of

Just learnt that my trust Barts Health didn't meant the threshold for strike action, and to be honest, that's absolute bullshit. #rcn #strike #FairPayforNursing

I am enjoying a lot of anti-NHS tweets this evening… “they make their bed they lie in it, let in the private companies” being amongst them. They realise we’d all earn SIGNIFICANTLY MORE if we privatised right? Like, 400% more. And yet, almost universally, we’re all pro-NHS…

The NHS has a never ending pot of money for jobs like this; Over £100k for being a Director of Lived Experience But apparently no money to give doctors, nurses and paramedics anything other than years of real terms pay cuts. #paramedicstrike #Paramedic

The nurses at the warfarin clinic have been stopped from dressing up as elves for Christmas. Apparently there has been a pixie ban

If you were going to describe Emergency Medicine right now as a gif, which would you chose?

I just really wonder what goes through peoples heads to think it’s acceptable to continuously interrupt a team of healthcare professionals in a MEDICAL EMERGENCY IN THE WAITING ROOM to ask about their waiting time/blood results. Some stern talking was done today.

This x-ray is of a child presenting to the emergency department with the No. 1 cause of death in children in the USA. I've been an Emergency Medicine doctor in the UK for 15 years and I have not once seen this presentation in an adult let alone a child. What does that tell you?

Over 100,000 nursing staff voted for further #RCNStrike action in England, but harsh laws imposed on trade unions mean we have not met the threshold needed for a mandate to be achieved. Read more below. rcn.org.uk/magazines/News…

your regular reminder that these are THE ABSOLUTE SAME DRUG and branding something as period pain relief and doubling the price is disgusting

Stuff the @Oasis reunion… This is the anniversary tour I’m up for.

The new uniforms are enough to bring me out of my x hiatus. NHS England THE FACT THAT B6 are the same as B5 is OUTRAGEOUS! not only is this incredibly unsafe, but it's totally demoralising for those of us that worked so hard for our senior scrubs!! #nhsuniforms #nationaluniform
