@SirFredlin @lazystalker @JakeLandauTO McDonald's have no halal certified items. https://t.co/kVs0kCVXgO

@SirFredlin @lazystalker @JakeLandauTO Just looked it up, only 20% of KFCs are halal, so far from only halal https://t.co/4SmaqHkUei

@GlasgowKillie @HDorling53 @jimac111 It is happening, but very slowly. I have met very few nurses that have managed to complete the process, the application for regrading itself is a small book!

@GlasgowKillie @HDorling53 @jimac111 Your post just popped up on my timeline so I only got "the vast majority of nurses...who will be paying the highest tax rate" which is definitely not correct

[Giles Kempsell @KempsellGiles]

@GlasgowKillie @HDorling53 @jimac111 If you get a Band 6 position, you are on the bottom of the pay spine for 2 years, then point 2 for two years and then at the top where you then stay.
That would mean most Band 6 Nurses are not at the bottom of the pay scale as opportunities the move to Band 7 are limited

@drruthannharpur @DoctorPerin I have been doing it all wrong as well, I keep telling them that there is something deeply positive about them

@NurseStandard I am due to qualify this year and the NQN recruitment started in February. I have still not anything but one board have told us not to expect to hear anything until July.
Stressful is not the word

@candyspets2 @Burnt2020 @StevenMAlderson You are correct. As a Student MHN, I potentially face disciplinary charges for using ward tea/coffee/milk for myself.
Don't get me started on the vast amount of food that goes down the waste disposal that we are also not allowed to eat

@HKW1981 @Channel4News This may shock you but there are newly qualified nurses struggling to find a post

@NursingTimes and has obviously not looked at the current training which is often criticised for lacking mental health material #MentalHealthMatters

@TheBMA @Vish_Sharm It has already been done for lots of public sector workers. Move from final to average salary, reduced lump sum, increased contributions

@Nigelj08223326 @wesstreeting @alisonleary1 For England, Scottish Labour/Unions have consistently put barriers in the way in Scotland

@NurseStandard I am presuming those saying no tattoos have never been in a mental health aetting

[Giles Kempsell @KempsellGiles]

@wyllie_cameron @OliverConway Better early intervention is absolutely the best choice. However, staff skills base is central when there is no other option than to place a child in care.
Residential staff in Scotland have to meet standards of training to register, this was abandoned in England to cut costs

[Giles Kempsell @KempsellGiles]

@jabberwock951 Thankfully they remembered to put in a recruitment freeze so there aren't all those newly qualified nurses cluttering the place up
