⚠️ 2025: WHO forecasts a global shortfall of 11.1 million health workers by 2030.

While the nursing workforce has grown to almost 30 million worldwide, inequalities between countries are a barrier to achieving universal health coverage.

Why would anyone want to come to a country that doesn’t want them to be abused by people you are trying to help for terrible wages and worse weather? Help us all when we and our loved ones need help!

Interesting read, scathing at senior resident and consultant docs doing private work or deliberately keeping lists long to encourage people to go private. The NHS is in crisis, but, for most, there is no alternative.

Sports require willing players. Animals never volunteered. 💔

Calling it a sport doesn’t erase the suffering. Animals deserve to live freely, not die for entertainment. 😞

Southern Water have apologised and taken responsibility for the devastating pollution on Camber Sands - but the cost of the cleanup is still going to come from customers' bills.

Our bills have been inflated enough already. This money must come straight from profits, bonuses & shareholder dividends.

I was in a pub last night and had the mispleasure to overhear 2 men at the bar discussing their belief that those calling out racism were in fact the racists for 'drawing attention to it'. The cognitive dissonance of the far-right is idiotic.

If Starmer's so willing to blithely surrender rights to freedom from torture or to live your life privately without government interference, all in the name of "democracy", then Farage will try the same with the death penalty and freedom from discrimination.

Anyway, happy Human Rights Day 😬

As obvious as this may have been to foresee it is still terrible to see it. Can we just refuse anyone who voted for brexit or members of reform access to the NHS? Obviously not, because the people who work in the NHS care about people regardless of background, probably something to celebrate 🤷🏻‍♂️

It's a pity this isn't a more balanced article. Could it be that after a generation has been employed under austerity for our entire working lives and prohibited from achieving the success those before gained is taking effect. Or is it just breaking the shackles of the BS of a stiff upper lip?
Wes Streeting orders review of mental health diagnoses as benefit claims soar
Wes Streeting orders review of mental health diagnoses as benefit claims soar
Health secretary has asked experts to investigate whether normal feelings have become ‘over-pathologised’ The health secretary, Wes Streeting, has ordered a clinical review of the diagnosis of mental health conditions, according to reports. Streeting is understood to be concerned about a sharp rise in the number of people making sickness benefits claims because of diagnoses for mental illness, autism and attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), the Times reported. He has asked leading experts to investigate whether normal feelings have become “over-pathologised”, the newspaper said, as he seeks to grapple with the 4.4 million working-age people now claiming sickness or incapacity benefit. The figure has risen by 1.2 million since 2019, while the number of 16 to 34-year-olds off work with long-term sickness because of a mental health condition is said to have grown rapidly in the same period. Streeting told the Times he knew from “personal experience how devastating it can be for people who face poor mental health, have ADHD or autism and can’t get a diagnosis or the right support”. He added: “I also know, from speaking to clinicians, how the diagnosis of these conditions is sharply rising. “We must look at this through a strictly clinical lens to get an evidence-based understanding of what we know, what we don’t know, and what these patterns tell us about our mental health system, autism and ADHD services. “That’s the only way we can ensure everyone gets timely access to accurate diagnosis and effective support.” The review, which is expected to be launched on Thursday, is set to be led by Prof Peter Fonagy, a clinical psychologist at University College London specialising in child mental health, with Sir Simon Wessely, a former president of the Royal College of Psychiatry, acting as vice-chair.
