ERIC runs a helpline to support people who are experiencing problems. For the past few years we've seen an increase in calls during the summer holidays from parents whose children are due to start school but aren't ready.

It takes a remarkable person to work in nursing.

Yet for too long they have been overworked, underpaid and many are now at breaking point.

Edith Cavell bravely said, "patriotism is not enough. I must have no hatred or bitterness towards anyone." She put her nursing duties above all else. Here's to the women in nursing and midwifery following in her footsteps and providing exceptional care. #InternationalWomensDay

#GreenWashing at its finest.

This is the reality. So much for the rhetoric.

@JulianSmithUK We could fill 3/4 of NHS nursing vacancies in England with the BILLIONS of pounds hospitals have spent on agency staff between 2020 -2022.

Instead poor government planning results in expensive short-term fixes instead of long-term solutions.

We could get angry at Suella’s latest piece of performative, pandering cruelty or… instead:
let’s promote the excellent work done by @Shelter, @centrepointuk, @PassageCharity and other fine charities actually trying to help homeless people, especially now, as winter approaches.

Too many young children with limited mobility are missing out on equipment that meets their needs.

@WhizzKidz is conducting a study to understand what is stopping many children aged 3-5 years from receiving the right wheelchair at the right time. Can you help? [1/2]

Prepare for a spring of strikes as nursing union ups strike pay for nurses on the picket line. It has a £50m fighting fund as ministers still avoid talks to end dispute:
