I’m looking at setting up a journal club specifically for children’s nurses and would love to hear from anyone with experience or advice on how to make it successful! Any practical suggestions, challenges to watch out for, or even examples of what’s worked well for you would be hugely appreciated.

Reflecting on the publication of the Darzi review in September, I wrote about what it tells us about the worsening state of children's health - and the need for investment. 🔗 bit.ly/3Xu4bqx

Good afternoon pals 🙂 I’m hoping to attend the next RCN Congress with some others from the NHSWSN gang, & now is the time to start getting organised. 👊 What issues do we need to be pushing for within our health unions? Strike ballot? Union structure? International solidarity? Let’s get planning!

The data present an incredible (and now at risk) trend in child mortality: • Vaccination programs. • Sanitation and clean water • Antibiotics and medical advances • Improved nutrition • Public health measures

Let's be clear, Wellbeing in healthcare is not fluffy stuff. It's about workload, staffing, systems & culture. It's about valuing our own needs, modelling humanity & vulnerability, Creating spaces where people feel able to be authentic & ask for help. Wellbeing must be a priority. #MedSky
