It's time the Prime Minister stopped burying his head in the sand and recognised the power he has to stop strike action, protect patients and save our NHS.

1/4 Just reflecting on the last few days and being out on the picket as I felt quite emotional about it yesterday especially as an anti-strike bill is one step closer.
I've been thinking about how best to describe why nurses are striking and in simple terms I think it's this..

[Claire Davis @nursed88]

To those of you out there that beeped, worked, gave thumbs up, showed solidarity, listened, expressed kind words, and gave out food/flowers/drinks over the last few days, I think I speak for every striking nurse when I say THANK YOU...you have no idea how much it is appreciated

[Claire Davis @nursed88]

I think even the Queen would have had a little giggle about this :D #queensfuneral

Just finished two days of "Supervision to Safeguard" training and am kind of speechless about how good it was. Sonia is an inspirational practioner/facilitator of the course! Will be reflecting on it for weeks :) ty @Southern_NHSFT #supervisiontosafeguard #schoolnursing #intrac

NEW: a common response to reports of hospitals struggling this winter is "it’s no different to a bad flu season!"

I’ve tracked down historical data on flu ICU admissions, including winter 2017-18, a record high.

Here’s how England’s Covid winter compares to a bad flu season 📹

As if it wasn't hard enough holding a long microphone... "If you could swing that'd be great" 😂 #bbcnews

We are in talks with the Government about using our closed @BrewDog bars as vaccination centres.

We are also going to give everyone who gets vaccinated at a BrewDog bar a special commemorative beer.

But what should we call it?
