Reminder…Self care is going to be critical to our survival.
Please look after yourselves mentally, and physically.
Let’s also not forget to look after one another. πŸ’™

Starmer warned NHS reforms will fail over β€˜worrying’ trend in staff recruitment The UK is failing to train up home-grown healthcare staff and relying too much on overseas workers, experts warn

Our NHS does not need sweeping (often costly) reforms, it needs a government that values its staff and commits to support them.

Without this shift in thinking there can be no NHS fit for the future.

Does anyone else hate the finger wagging β€œTHERE ARE NO BLANK CHEQUES, NHS” vibes from the new government?

No one said there were any blank cheques. Literally no one said there were any blank cheques.

On that note though, MPs have received 11 pay rises since 2010.

🚨Everyone should watch this important film from Liberty

The Governments action this week is β€œa concerning disregard for the rule of law & goes against recent statements by the Gov’t that they would NOT abuse the use of secondary legislation”

Liberty will be back in court later this week

The reality is we need new hospitals

We of course need more scanners and equipment

However the thing we need the most is additional staff.

Instead we are continually losing them to burnout. People will quit the NHS because the work life balance is poor.

Can you please keep resharing?

Our NHS is too precious to be vandalised and sold off πŸ’™

Don’t forget to complete this quick action to write to the board and tell them #InHouseIsBest:

Dear πŸ‡¬πŸ‡§,

Colchester hospital porter Matt Prior (@mattprior79.bsky.social) and his colleagues are today back on strike for a 3-week walkout fighting to save their hospital from privatisation. Matt’s story is a perfect example of how NHS privatisation harms patient care. Please share!
