Could you afford treatment without the NHS?

[Nursing Standard @NurseStandard]

Why NEWS2 scores are not enough to spot a deteriorating patient:

Early warning scores give nurses a vital insight into a patient's condition, but baseline measurements and clinical judgement are crucial to detecting deterioration.

I’d like to clarify the difference between Conservatives and New Conservatives. While all Conservatives are bastards, the New Conservatives are utter fucking bastards. I hope that helps.

A record 170,000 staff left the NHS last year

It doesn’t matter how many NHS staff the government say they will recruit

Without better working conditions they will continue to leave in their droves and there will never be enough

Please RT if you agree

Dear 🇬🇧,

As we approach the NHS 75th anniversary, here's your reminder that 10 years ago, it was ranked the #1 healthcare system on Earth. You don't need a new system. You need a new govt that won't intentionally destroy it for their own financial benefit.

Breaking news: Sunak arrives for an emergency scan to detect whether he possesses a brain and a heart - all evidence to date points to their absence.

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

Boris Johnson is the worst Prime Minister in history, perhaps even the worst British politician of all time

That he partied while people were dying is unforgivable

That he still won’t take responsibility for his own failings and continues to blame everyone else is beyond belief

Tina Turner doing Proud Mary is unforgettable. 🔥

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Sheer idiocy masquerading as a new “policy” from Sunak.

The small print? He wants GPs to invest in better phone lines. Yes, phone lines. As though the crushing lack of GPs isn’t the key problem.

This govt’s trashing of the NHS workforce is unforgivable.

In order to retain invested in talent we need to start the ‘we want to keep you’ conversations when the employee is still open to staying - not after they’ve already told you the are looking to leave. In order to retain we must build cultures worth staying for. #NHSRetention

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

Two questions, Rishi. Where are all the new GPs coming from? And how are you going to stop the current ones from leaving?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

Everyone knows nurses are striking because they are demoralised, downtrodden, exploited & run ragged.

This kind of belligerent, bullyboy behaviour is so spectacularly counterproductive - unless, @SteveBarclay, you are actually intent on breaking NHS staff???

[Dr Andrew Meyerson @AndrewMeyerson]

Dear 🇬🇧,

Patriots don't destroy their nation's healthcare system, ruining people's lives, so they can get rich. Only greedy militant @Conservatives do that. Stop letting these extremists destroy your family's health. Demand safe staffing for the NHS right now.

#SOSNHS

[NHS Million @NHSMillion]

We’ve seen comments telling doctors and nurses that ‘you knew the pay when you chose to do the job’

But that’s exactly the point

They knew the pay, and it’s gone DOWN in real terms since then

All staff actually want is the same pay they had in 2008

Is that really too much?

[GP partner @GPDrYvetteDoc]

Here's a photo of a face to face consultation.
This is what happens when you offer all patients face to face appointments.

[Adam Kay @amateuradam]

Yeah cool just self-refer to an internal-bleedingologist.

[The RCN @theRCN]

The NHS is in crisis.

Patients are unsafe.

Our members are saying loud and clear: enough is enough.

For the first time in the RCN’s history, our members have mandated strike action throughout the UK.

RT to support nursing.
