How is our national predicament not the perfect reason to go hard with renewables? Two birds one stone. How can going back to more fossil fuels and nuclear be the way to go?

I think ‘by accident or design’ is one of my favourite parts of this excellent piece. I think we all know it’s by design…

The duty of care has always been there and will always be there. If it’s going to take a year, that means hundreds of people in the same position as you were waiting before you. As to why treatment now takes so long, ⁦Thérèse Coffey⁩ is the person to ask.

Simon Fleming 🛠 James Tomlinson I think I know what you’re trying to say, but I think it’s unfair to say “least important”, implication therefore being that it is most expendable. Yes, the majority will reach standard without excess effort, but if that standard can’t be met then it’s incompatible with the job.

This problem will take 5-10 years to fix. Money along isn’t enough. We need workforce planning, recruitment and retention. Meanwhile expect a lot more headlines like this. apple.news/ATsOe6AoGQbasC…

I *almost* have no words This sent to staff TODAY from a trust with multiple recent staff suicides beggars belief University Hospitals Birmingham this is just getting worse and worse (Obviously, as always, correct me if I’m wrong - one of your staff sent me this, so highly unlikely)

We’re very excited on #teamtrauma as we took delivery of our patient weighing PAT slide. patients on bed rest can now have an accurate MUST from admission. Hannah Shaw is completing her dissertation for her BSc in Leadership and Innovation based around its use.
