Last week @jbeebee.bsky.social joined Southampton MP Satvir Kaur’s networking event 🤝 to talk jobs in social care.

He raised concerns over Employers' NI, staffing shortages & the crisis in #LearningDisabilityNursing.

We are grateful for Satvir’s time & engagement.

Day 4 (last day of @rcn.org.uk Congress): lively debates on financial hardships for nursing and care planning.

It’s been a great #nursing Congress and had great company from Shona, Mark and Jonathan from the Forum.

Think we convinced some nurses that #Neurology was the specialty to be in!!!
