@DHSCgovuk Referred for mechanical breakdown of THR now have to be clinically assessed by community team clinical assessor who may or may not have ortho specialism just to get an o/p appointment considering I cannot (physically) jump hurdles for obvious reasons this is utter nonsense

[Hospice UK @hospiceuk]

300 hospice beds in England are closed due to critical funding and staffing pressures - 14% of total capacity.

That’s 110,000 days and nights of care lost for those who need it.

We’re calling on the government to act now.

Gino came from the Philippines to work in London during the pandemic.

After discovering his skills were not being recognised in his pay, we helped him and others secure the pay they deserve.

We want – and deserve – bold change for nursing. We know pay has not kept up with the increased responsibilities of nursing staff.
Seeking a job evaluation can be part of the solution.

Health and care staff with long COVID are being denied access to vital benefits, two years after the government's own advisory body urged action.

It's not good enough.

Today, alongside @TheBMA, we've written to ministers calling for no more delays.

Our members have voted to reject the NHS pay award in Wales.

They decisively believe this award does not recognise the value, expertise, and critical responsibility held by nursing staff in Wales. The Welsh government must act now.

The prospect of huge debt and lack of financial support is putting off the nurses of the future. We need action from the govt, including:

✅ forgiveness for nursing tuition fee loans
✅ financial support for nursing students to help with living costs

Nursing staff know better than anyone how to make services better - we are key to making the next NHS decade better than the last.

The 10 Year Plan national conversation must include specific commitments and new investment to turn nursing around. https://t.co/CwI0brinOa

Great to hear from the RCN's Exec lead on pay @ColinPoolmanRCN on the ongoing work on pay at #RCNReps2024

Have you heard about the great work on job evaluation? Could this support you or your colleagues?

Work for NHS Wales on Agenda for Change? The Welsh government says 5.5% is a fair pay award for you. But your worth isn’t for them to decide. We are at Prince Charles Hospital today @CwmTafMorgannwg

The way that general practice is funded means employers set nursing pay, so negotiating skills are important.

That's why we're putting on learning sessions for GPNs this month to help sharpen your negotiating skills. Join for free on 24 October: https://t.co/N1QU3dIIU6
