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

@rcn.org.uk Good to hear Nicola Ranger on #LauraKuenssberg this morning bringing the conversation back to the workforce, specifically the #nursing workforce. Nurses are vital to health and social care.

NHS staff shortages in England could exceed 570,000 by 2036, leaked document warns Exclusive: workplace plan sent to ministers says deficit will rise rapidly from current 154,000 if current trends continue

This is prioritising cleaning the windows while the house is on fire. Hardworking NHS staff deserve better, patients deserve better.

Hmm indeed, nothing to address continuing workforce pressures without which none of this will work.

This is happening, the pressures due to long shifts and the moral injury of being unable to provide the care they want to affects staff.

No politician seems to have to guts to plan for the long term, leaving us all in the mess that is social care. Too difficult to fix so kicked into the long grass

Investigating the investigators
NHS workplace investigations have been increasingly criticised. External investigators such ibex gale and Capsticks are especially important in cases that might go to Tribunals. If you have been directly involved please contact us.

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 weโ€™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.

Shortsighted and will impact on patients the most as this work still has to be done so clinicians will have to do it.
