Fast forward to 2032, what should mental health, autism and learning disability services look like? In this new podcast, Andy Bell from Centre for Mental Health and @Marsha_MHAdvMcr share their views with @FRSAMatthew. Tune in to #HealthOnTheLine 🎧

The NHS is in crisis. Patients are stuck in ambulances. Nursing staff can't afford to stay in the profession. Enough is enough. We are taking strike action to demand #FairPayForNursing and patient safety. Sign our open letter to demand #FairPayForNursing.

This worries me. I swim 4 or 5 early mornings a week and - even though I’m getting on - I’m often one of the youngest in the pool. It’s a huge public health resource (the activity and the sociability)… bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-…

“Health leaders will welcome this plan” but “the people who are being asked to deliver this are also being asked to cover 133,000 vacancies in the NHS”. Layla McCay speaking with Martin Stanford on LBC News earlier about NHS England’s urgent and emergency recovery plan 📻

Yes - and where are the new staff being magicked up from...?

In this new ⁦NHS Confederation⁩ post I argue that the conversation between health and care needs to go beyond hospital discharge and into the more positive and fruitful territory of prevention. Thanks for reading nhsconfed.org/articles/preve…

👉@FRSAMatthew talks to BBC News (UK) about A&E waiting times: "...in many parts of the country social care is not able to provide the level of service that it wants to provide. Which means people get stuck in hospitals."👇

👉@FRSAMatthew responds to the government's offer to open talks with all trade unions involved in NHS industrial action: "We need to bring an end to this war of attrition we have seen over the past few months and get back on track..."👇 bit.ly/3J6GwGM

"Study finds sewage bacteria in ocean spray". Yes I'm afraid the water industry is screwing with your life in more ways than you can comprehend. theguardian.com/us-news/2023/m…

Reports flooding in that regime in Iran are now gassing women-only dorms at universities. Girls are dropping like flies. This is systematic, industrial-scale targeting of women as revenge for #WomanLifeFreedom movement. BBC News (UK) Channel 4 News James O'Brien this needs to be covered.

'It's the flimsiest lump of red meat that I think the Daily Mail have ever thrown into the mix.'  James O'Brien exposes the knots the Tories have tied themselves in over their fury at Sue Gray becoming Keir Starmer's chief of staff.

2022: "Sue Gray is independent, is known to be independent." 2023: "There is huge doubt over Sue Gray and what she did when she was writing that report." Nadine Dorries speaking about Sue Gray.

This is an actual interior corridor of a major NHS hospital. In 2023. Who can look at this & pretend Conservative governments haven’t spent 13 years deliberately running the NHS into the ground?
