We've written to the Secretary of State and NHS England CEO calling for urgent action to address unsafe doctor substitution by employers.

The letter comes in the wake of our survey report revealing doctors' serious concerns over patient safety. 🔗 https://t.co/tqhjxqUQU6

[Paramedog parafeddyg @paramedog]

The workforce plan is pretty irrelevant-not funded so just a piece of paper

[Partha S Kar 🇮🇳🇬🇧🏏🎥 @parthaskar]

In other news?

The latest version of the #NHS workforce plan has a …hold your breath… a 70% reduction of nursing numbers compared to the workforce plan from…
3 years ago

I would suggest the @theRCN leadership tackle this with the urgency it deserves

Unless the plan is to do the GP jobs mentioned

If so, it helps a few

The job is to fight for the many- and help improve health of population

A 70% drop in projected nurse numbers- which was agreed to 3 years ago?

Isn’t that.

@BridgetC59511 @parthaskar @iDrSunny @theRCN @DrLKVaughan @WeNurses @nursewigglytuff @DrSelvarajah @VictoriaTzB @DrSteveTaylor @BMA_James_Steen @thomasdolphin @doctor_katie Isn't it a reduction of the planned expansion not a net reduction? That's how I read it

[Nursing in Practice @NurseinPractice]

Nurses have voted to ensure the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) acts upon attempts to ‘undermine’ advanced nursing practice – warning that without these vital roles, GP practices and accident and emergency departments ‘would drown’.

DHSC has confirmed there will NOT be anything specific on regulation of senior NHS managers in NHS Bill - there had been suggestions this would be in.

It may be govt are waiting for the Thirlwall and Nottingham inquiries- but really there is no reason to not just get on with it.

[Paramedog parafeddyg @paramedog]

@InvCoriolis @TheBMA Is that the BMAs official position? A lot of specialist nurses are advanced practice

@benn_elisbenn @amnerisuk @BMAResidents I've worked in places where people have PhDs and we had coloured lanyards. None of the PhDs wore a doctor one (they were mostly psychologists)

@caspertown24 @wesstreeting @DawnButlerBrent @alisonleary1 @CrystalOldman @LeanneHPatrick @alimully I think it really needs to be protected I don't know why it's taking so long. Paramedic is protected

@Mary_Tom11 @caspertown24 @wesstreeting @DawnButlerBrent @alisonleary1 @CrystalOldman @LeanneHPatrick @alimully Are employers misusing the title doctor or consultant? They are nurse.

NHS DOCTOR INJECTED HIMSELF WITH DRUGS ON DUTY

Dr Patricia Mills worked at West Suffolk Hospital @WestSuffolkNHS between 2019 and 2021. She did what any responsible doctor should do. She reported a colleague who was injecting himself with drugs while on duty, with patients' lives on the line.

The hospital's response?

Launch a disciplinary investigation against her.
Not against the drug-taking doctor. Against the whistleblower.

An independent NHS review later described that investigation as verging on "victimisation."

In December 2021, Dr Mills was fully exonerated. The review was highly critical of how she was ignored and targeted. @guardian and @BBC both covered it.

This is the @NHS whistleblowing system in action. You see something dangerous, you report it, you get hunted. The charity Protect describes the system as fundamentally broken.

The law, PIDA, was supposed to protect people like Dr Mills from day one of employment. In practice, West Suffolk Hospital spent that time building a case against her instead.

Nobody has been held to account. Nobody ever is.

The NHS has over 900 Freedom to Speak Up Guardians. Dr Mills got a disciplinary hearing. You do the maths.

@The_truthhh10 @LinesandVents @theRCN @BMAResidents @DoctorsUnited @DocsTogether_ They seem to be standing up for them now. The RCN is very supportive of international nurses too my colleague used their free immigration service

Emboldened by a mug of Yorkshire tea and 3 Jaffa cakes I will relate the words of yesterday
‘Stephen can be discharged with 4 carers and physio even if you weren’t there’
He’s doubly incontinent and this bruise is from a fall. He wanted me to post this
We are both very sad

Night night sweet dreamies

When the storm rages around you, close your eyes and remember brighter days because the storm never lasts forever.

The sun finds its way to shine again.

So will you 🧡
