Health Visitor, North West,

MP pay 2010 £65k

MP pay 2022 £84.1k

28% rise & real terms rise of over £4k

same period nurses pay down 8% against inflation with real terms pay cut of £3k

RT if you think MPs telling nurses they don’t deserve a rise are taking the piss

Thank you Ma’am, for everything.

Along with the rest of the country, I am deeply worried by the news from Buckingham Palace this afternoon.

My thoughts are with Her Majesty The Queen and her family at this time, and I join everyone across the United Kingdom in hoping for her recovery.

Health Visitors are essential in making sure babies get the best start in life.

Yet, Health Visitor numbers are at their lowest level in the past 10 years. With the impact of COVID19 and rising poverty, families need their help more than ever. #TurnOffTheTaps

What is infant mental health? Why does it matter?

One in five of the most critically ill COVID-19 patients in the UK are unvaccinated pregnant women.

After being hospitalised with COVID-19 and facing a potential C-section at 26 weeks, Claire is encouraging other pregnant women to get the #COVIDVaccine. https://t.co/J8ZbJGCo3Q

If your child was burned or scalded would you know what to do? COOL with running water for 20 minutes. CALL for help for any burn larger than a 50p: 999, 111 or local GP. COVER with cling film #BeBurnsAware. #CoolCallCover #BeBurnsAware

[Phil Peacock @PhilJPeacock]

Periodic reminder that you are more likely to be murdered in the first year of your life than at any other age- this is why #safeguarding in ED is essential #PEM

@MichaelaBarnard Not in the picture but I’m in the cohort, I’ve just qualified as a Health Visitor and I’m 2 weeks into the new job ☺️ hope you’re well x

[The Lullaby Trust @LullabyTrust]

If you're staying with family or friends this summer, you might find it useful to remind them of the ABCs of safer sleep.

This can help make sure that everyone knows the safer sleep basics if they will be taking care of your baby over the summer.

[beth 💙 @MayqueenBeth]

Shout out to all workers wearing PPE in this weather. Plastic, masks and heatwave are not a good mix. Found the perfect solution post shift this evening 😆 #communitynursing #nhs

[The Lullaby Trust @LullabyTrust]

In the exhaustion of being a new parent it’s easy to doze off. If you are on a sofa with your baby and start to think you might fall asleep, make sure you move somewhere safer or put your baby down in a cot or moses basket.

[iHV @iHealthVisiting]

We welcome this significant commitment from Govt set out in today’s Queen’s speech and look forward to working with Govt to strengthen #HealthVisiting -an important part of the solution crucial to ensure that every child really does fulfil their potential https://t.co/CNAabhYYQ2
