@BuschLitePapi44 We're in the 5th division, confusingly called the National League. Roots Hall is a bit rough in places: On no account use the toilets, they are disgusting; the food is pretty grim; the stands have pillars in all the wrong places; and there is no leg room. But it's our home.
@_nmcwatch Does anyone know for how long the NMC is going to be allowed to fail the professions and the public? We really need to go back to elected professional members who have some accountability. We also need more clinical nurses and fewer management/'great and good' types.
