This a message is from a group of nurses and colleagues from across the UK. We’ve launched a petition calling on the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) to take stronger and more coordinated action in response to the escalating child health crisis in Gaza. ✍️ Sign the petition sprw.io/stt-Z2o2Y

www.crowdjustice.com/case/bhs4p/ An important campaign to protect HCPs who are speaking out about the genocide in Gaza and increasingly terrible conditions for colleagues providing care there . An NHS trust has taken action against staff who are advocating for human rights .

An opportunity to shape letters from specialist teams to patients and primary care . Great to see person focused approach being developed.

'Doctors’ testimonies must be taken seriously, as must reports by UN and NGAs. With >50 000 people killed since 7 Oct 2023, hundreds of thousands displaced, and thousands of children with malnutrition, arguing against a permanent ceasefire is morally repugnant'. @bmj.com news.un.org/en/story/202...

www.bmj.com/content/387/.... Dr Adnan Al-Bursh, who trained at King’s College London and was the head of orthopaedics at Al-Shifa hospital in Gaza. He was arrested by the IDF and reports say he was beaten and assaulted before his death in Israeli detention in April.

This isn’t going away ! Still no move from @NHSEngland to address the unfair implementation of the ‘ voluntary’ digital badge scheme which has become a requirement for most primary care jobs. Thank you @alisonleary1 @CrystalOldman for your support . Change needed is overdue. #primarycaresky

Some positive news: ”Fewer people contracted HIV last year than at any point since the rise of the disease in the late 1980s”. This progress shows that the battle can be won - but there’s still much to do. www.sciencealert.com/hiv-cases-re...

Hello Bluesky 👋 We’re the Royal College of Nursing, the world’s largest nursing union and professional body. We represent over half a million nursing staff and students in the UK and internationally. Hit follow to hear from us, and find out more about what we do: www.rcn.org.uk/About-us

The sustained attack on medical staff, hospitals and patients in Gaza is unprecedented and sets a dangerous new standard for future conflicts. All healthcare professionals (and really everyone who cares about other people) should be shouting loudly about this!

Unsurprising. ANPs being offered reduced pay ( enhanced nurse B7) as no digital badge yet MSc and years of pc experience ! Very long wait for eportfolio and this is being pushed back further. When is NHSE going to review this flawed policy? #primarycare www.nursinginpractice.com/latest-news/...

The ICC’s arrest warrants are long overdue. The Prime Minister & Foreign Secretary must immediately endorse this decision. That is the bare minimum. Will the UK government now, finally, honour its international obligations to prevent genocide and end all arms sales to Israel?

A starter pack for the cancer community, feel free to tell me who to add. 😊👍🏻 go.bsky.app/2mwnYaX

The majority of people who become undocumented do so through no fault of their own, it can be a range of things which lead to it. Policies which make it easier to have a "regularised" status can help benefit everyone though. news.sky.com/story/spain-...

So pleased to see this in publication. Thanks to all co-authors and peer reviewers @mike-thorpe.bsky.social A valuable tool for primary care nurses. Cancer is every nurse’s business!

Great to see these new resources for GP Nurses including a cancer care document published today. @sandradyer.bsky.social @mfoulkes.bsky.social Louise Brady et al #PrimaryCare #CancerProgramme #GPNurses www.skillsforhealth.org.uk/article/a-fo...

I'm seeing a LOT of people née to the platform this morning. Which is BRILLIANT. Welcome. Here's a thread of a few tips. None of them my idea and I'm sure you see lots of other threads like this. Hope it helps.

A #nursesky starter pack ! - thank you @noncompliantrn.bsky.social

Pete wrote a nice article about our new paper. thedoctor.bma.org.uk/articles/lif...

A very informative and important piece of research . This statement sums up the state of current primary care : ‘Systems designed to increase efficiency have introduced new forms of inefficiency and have compromised other quality domains such as accessibility, patient-centredness, and equity. ‘

Am just reading the new book of (the late) David Graeber essays: “The ultimate hidden truth of the world is that it is something we make, and could just as easily make differently.” Your paper helps that - thank you! It won’t be easy but, gosh, what else are we going to do but try? 😀

New here, so am sharing some recent work from my @thisinstitute.bsky.social PhD, in hope of finding more #patientsafety people here! We wanted to understand what ‘safe care’ looks like in community mental health services, as existing safety improvement research mostly relates to inpatient care 1/

Has your charity set up camp here? I've only found a handful of UK non-profits with accounts so far. Let me know if you know of others or your organisation joins. 24 to date.... One hospice. No CVS. No councils. go.bsky.app/UVMCfpi

Now, this seems apt. Seen on Calais plage.

Caláis plage ! Beautiful.

And yet once again I am called upon to "prove the worth" of specialist respiratory nurses, general practice nurses, district nurses, occasionally AHPs..... Proactive case management by specialist nurses working in partnership with patients keeps people out of hospital.
