Despite members voting to give equal democratic rights to all members of the union, nursing support workers are still treated as second class when it comes to the RCN. The RCN definition of nursing excluded nursing support workers as well as denying them equal rights.
Often unseen. Always vital. 💛

Nursing support workers are an integral part of the workforce, supporting registered nurses to provide outstanding care across all settings.

On #NursingSupportWorkersDay, share this film to show your thanks and to celebrate their contribution. ➡️ https://bit.ly/4h51HbE

No evidence it will improve patient care. Elitist guff that distracts from the real issue of poor pay and lack of funding for the NHS.
Government makes it a crime to falsely claim the 'nurse' title without proper qualifications

Absolutely disgusting fly-tipping just off Niddrie Mains Road, opposite the White House.

I’ve been asking for years for action on getting it cleaned up. I’ve been promised it will happen soon…

👦🏻 Labour’s two-child cap has pushed 30,000 children into poverty across the UK since the election - 300,000 by the end of this Parliament, according to @cpaguk.bsky.social

🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿 We’re scrapping it in Scotland - which @cpaguk.bsky.social estimates will lift 15,000 children in Scotland out of poverty.

📢 Labour before the election: "No austerity under Labour."
📉 Labour after the election: Cutting disability benefits.

Labour promised "change", but instead, voters are getting more of the same.

Experts have noted that Wes Streeting seems way more interested in fixing elective care waits, than A&E waits.

Private firms can make profit from taking on NHS elective care, but they can’t from unpredictable A&E (the one attempt, Hinchingbroke, disastrous)

I’m sure these two facts are unrelated…
#ICYMI New guidance fails to address how ‘national shame’ of corridor care and excessive A&E waits will be tackled.

RCEM responds to the government’s ‘mandate for the NHS’ and NHSE planning guidance.

Now we have Conservative MP’s joining Nigel Farage claiming Brexit allowed the UK to roll out the covid vaccine first

As I explain in this report, the claim is complete boll****
If UK news shows are going to give Nigel Farage a platform to spout this absolute boll**** about Brexit & the vaccine rollout (unchallenged) I’ll happily come back every week to correct it

We cannot allow them to rewrite history.

If you agree share this FACT CHECK widely
