Alert! Alert! In response to NHS England’s desire for 30% cuts "Integrated Care Boards" (ICBs) are proposing a 50% cut to the Designated Nurse roles for Looked After Children. These roles are the lifeblood of advocacy and protection. Reducing them means silencing a key voice that stands up for children who often have no one else. It threatens the safety, stability, and health equity of our most vulnerable.
These concerns are echoed at national level by the National Network of Designated Health Professionals (NNDHP), who have issued warnings about the disproportionate risk these cuts pose to children in care. We cannot achieve ‘levelling up’ or deliver on promises to reduce health inequality if we dismantle the very roles designed to safeguard. those at greatest risk.

A huge thank you to the amazing @CFCFoundation for making this dream a reality, and to @edballs@GMB for the wonderful suggestion.
Nurses support children with adverse childhood experiences but to get to the root of the problem radical societal change is needed.
In this editorial @CarterBernie@ABPN_ChildNurse argues eloquently what the role of the children's nurse in this is.

Interview call-out: ⚠️ Adoptees ⚠️
As part of my current investigation, I’m looking to understand the issues around having your NHS number made void & changed when you’re adopted; in particular, what this means for your genetic medical history. 🧬

Cuts & privatisation WILL NOT make the NHS more efficient, but far less.
Cutting up to 150K staff will have significant and far reaching implications upon remaining staff & the quality of patient care.
This is a complete false economy & a huge mistake.
