Hello fellow Bluesky’rs. Today, 42 years ago, I started my RMN training at the Lancaster District School of Nursing! I am still proud to call myself a MH Nurse in the NHS… thank you to all that shaped me as a nurse: peers, educators, patients/clients and their relatives.

Just reading @ukhouseoflords.bsky.social stuff from last night, in Hansard -
Various peers including @theresamay.bsky.social tabled amendments to the Bill to allow other, non-police professionals to use powers under both section 135(1) and s136 MHA.
The Government opposed the amendment.

New report this week from Onward, a right-leaning think tank, on the subject of policing. It led to low-quality media coverage which insists the police are "waiting with mental health patients" for 800,000hrs a year.
No way this stands up to scrutiny.
