I work with such talented and committed nursing academics in Cardiff University. Excellent teaching, outstanding research: all in a School with a history of doing this for more than half a century. All now at risk, with letters informing us of possible redundancy landing yesterday. Very poor.

Wales deserves a strong capital university, one that trains its nurses; embraces the study of Religion and Theology and of Ancient History; teaches numerous languages, including music; one that does not reduce the Arts and Humanities to an irrelevance.

That's okay, South Wales doesn't really need two absolutely massive universities! Its economy is so strong that it can cope as they shrink and retreat! Wealth flows through the streets like gold doesn't it! It hasn't tried to anchor its economy in new creative jobs has it! 🙄😡

New here, so am sharing some recent work from my @thisinstitute.bsky.social PhD, in hope of finding more #patientsafety people here!
We wanted to understand what ‘safe care’ looks like in community mental health services, as existing safety improvement research mostly relates to inpatient care
