@RachelleLivie @SkyNews If people got the flu jaban didn't leave the house when they had Norovirus then things would be better!

Paediatricians are doing all they can to treat the symptoms - but they can’t fix the root cause.

The UK Government’s upcoming child poverty strategy must contain bold action – including scrapping the two child limit, and setting up a young patients family fund.

“I am deeply concerned by the condition of children arriving at frontline health services...This is a crisis that demands decisive action from government."

Dr Helen Stewart in @Independent today on our new report with @CPAGUK.

Endometriosis is where cells similar to those in the lining of the womb (uterus) grow in other parts of the body.

Symptoms can be different for everyone and may include severe pelvic pain and other debilitating effects.

If you see someone having a seizure or fit, these 6 simple steps are useful to know. This advice applies to adults only.

You may also need to call an ambulance, so it’s important to know when to call 999.

‘Support staff do immensely important work that must be respected and valued in its own right. But ‘nurse’ must always mean nurse’

Read this editorial by @NSeditor on why protecting the ‘nurse’ title in law is a fight worth having.

[Professor Chris Whitty @CMO_England]

5-year survival for breast cancer is 98% if diagnosed at Stage 1 and 89.5% at Stage 2 (out of 4 stages). Early diagnosis through screening means treatment is less invasive and more effective.

Please take up your screening invitation; it makes a major difference to outcomes.

[YoungMinds @YoungMindsUK]

8% of the NHS budget goes to young people.

But 31% of people accessing mental health services are under 18.

We can no longer accept the gap between the amount of young people who need mental health support and the investment it gets.

🚨 The Mencap charity has revealed that fans have raised almost £90k on behalf of #TheTraitors star Alexander, almost matching the show's £94,600 prize pot 👏

@wibblywobbly99 @NurseStandard I'm just about to qualify, had already proved I could study to degree level as I hold a BA Hons already, and I have more than just basic knowledge, which I've proved multiple times. I have more to learn but we all learn as our careers continue!

[Student Nurse Laura💙 @ChildNurseLaura]

@wibblywobbly99 @NurseStandard What does a person's size have to do with their skill level? That also shows a lack of input from placements not all the fault of the student. We aren't always encouraged to answer the phone (for example!)

[Student Nurse Laura💙 @ChildNurseLaura]

@wibblywobbly99 @NurseStandard Thats just insulting and wrong!

[Student Nurse Laura💙 @ChildNurseLaura]

@TheEMboardround Surely if its been measured properly and ph obtained nobody needs an xray no matter how old. As I say I've past many many NGs and never had a ph above 5.5 when measured properly and tested!

[Resuscitation Council UK @ResusCouncilUK]

When performing CPR on a child, begin with five rescue breaths before starting chest compressions.

This is important as a lack of oxygen is the most common cause of cardiac arrests in children.

RT if you think the Greens quadrupling their seats should have as much media attention as Reform!

Difficult but powerfuwatch that shows how much our poor broken NHS is creaking and cracking under the pressure and strain......

[Student Nurse Laura💙 @ChildNurseLaura]

@StormyWatersOne @carolvorders @rcgp @LBC Slightly different as NA's still do a degree they just can't practice to quite the same level or give all the same meds.

[The RCN @theRCN]

The NHS pay award is three months late.  

65% of our members say their pay band is inappropriate for the safety critical work they do.  

Tell prospective MPs why they must support our manifesto demands.
