@sequinaddict 1. Don't play me "old people" music - I was a teenager in the 80's for crying out loud!
2. Leave my feet uncovered. Hot feet = hot & uncomfortable body.
3. If I can wear my own clothes - let me.
4. Prioritise quality of life.
5. Yes to organ donation.
6. Low threshold for DNAR.

Interesting read: Nursing work is more than the accumulation of care activities; to comprehend its complexity care entanglement (intertwining) should be acknowledged.

After the release of the “Use of teaching assistants in schools” was released in September, I have spent the last few weeks reading, internalising and reflecting on what this research from the @educationgovuk essentially tells us (with strengths & developments needed)

Today is #WorldSuicidePreventionDay - please spend two minutes watching this incredible video from @NorwichCityFC to help spread the message that #YouAreNotAlone

What overthinking looks like... 😂🤣

[🎸 Rock History 🎸 @historyrock_]

A rock band is performing and the singer sees a kid with a banner asking to play guitar with them. The singer asks him:

- Do you really know how to play guitar?
- Yeah!
- What's your favorite band?
- Guns N' Roses

What happens next is incredible.

Lady with wavy hair, "I'm sat here and I'm baffled that you (Andrew Mitchell) can talk about serious youth violence as if your party is not directly responsible for services being stripped to their bones"

"Grassroots organisations are on their knees. They're supporting vulnerable young people"

"Until you acknowledge that we need proper intervention into early intervention services, police need a working definition of child criminal exploitation, young people need to be treated as the victims that they are; not further criminalised, further harmed and pushed to the edges of society"

"At best your party has been incompetent. At worst you have been negligent"

"You are directly responsible for the increase in youth violence, loss of life and liberty, that we are seeing in our communities"

"We've ALWAYS funded schools at the right level!" says Gillian Keegan...

Yet ceilings keep falling, teachers keep leaving and class sizes keep ballooning.

Nursing is in dire need of investment. RCN members who responded to our survey told us they feel demoralised by pay that fails to match their levels of training, education, skills and responsibilities.

Use your voice to speak up for nursing on 4 July. https://t.co/RHy8zz4tKs

[Ronan @ronansetron]

it truly spins my mind that ICU nurses, who manage ventilators, CRRT, titrate vasopressors and inotropes, deal with all the art lines and central lines, run and interpret gases, replete electrolytes, run all kinds of complicated infusions…are generally paid at band *5*.

Don't ever stop sharing this video.

The Tories have ruined this country.

RUINED it.

All the while lining the pockets of themselves and their mates.

Man in blue, "Thames Water on the verge of going bust.. The water industry is the perfect business model.. Their market is every home, every business.. Their customers are forced to use their company.. There's zero competition.. They're selling a product made up of 70% of the earth's surface.. If you cannot get that right, you should not be running a business" #BBCQT

[The RCN @theRCN]

You told us that low pay and unsafe staffing levels are causing a crisis in nursing.

Nursing is fundamental to building a healthy society and economy.

As a general election approaches, politicians have a chance to chart a better course.

So no defections today. Instead these Tories voted overwhelmingly to block Tim Farrons bill to hold Water Companies to account.

They do not represent ordinary British people. They’re in it solely to line their own and their mates pockets.

The worst most corrupt Govt in history

I found a guy who goes around the US asking 70 to 100-year-olds their:

• Biggest Regrets
• Biggest Lessons
• Advice to their younger self

Oddly enough, most of their answers are the same…

Here are my top 8:

This is what the Conservatives were doing to NHS waiting list in the 30 years before Covid and the current industrial action.

Please don’t let them gaslight you into thinking they would be successful but for those factors.

They’ve only ever overseen increasing waiting lists.

[The BMJ @bmj_latest]

Poverty is taking a heavy toll on the UK’s health and #NHS services, and tackling it should be as much of a priority as bringing down waiting lists, @TheKingsFund has said
