Amazing talk from @blackmothersuk absolutely harrowing statistics shared around mothers and their babies. Very thought provoking for practice. And really glad we can signpost to this organisation. #swrmpt #blackmothersmatter

Thank you @BPSOfficial @stephenfry sadly too late for our hub

He warns that the closure of the hubs could have a ‘disastrous effect’ on the health service.

@shinymindcoach @TweetBecHoward This was a great session! Really enjoyed it and will utilise that format with service users and staff as a pna!

What is a pna and how can you become one... https://t.co/uqPwDczZnM

It was never enough but at least it's something!

The pay offer for NHS staff in England is to be implemented, but we remain in dispute.

Later this month, we will ballot members for further #RCNStrike action.

@Glennademeter @BPSOfficial As a Clinician in one of these hubs, strongly disagree. These hubs are vital

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@SteveBarclay @BMA_Consultants Could you please start by keeping the vital wellbeing hubs for staff open?

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@sqoozle @theRCN Put in place as a result of covid 40 wellbeing hubs opened, can't speak for your area. But they do fantastic work. Mental health support and signposting.

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@BPSOfficial @theRCN it would be really good to have the support from you on this matter that affects our nurses. @guardian @SteveBarclay @RishiSunak @thismorning can we please get some coverage, we still don't have confirmed funding. @DrHilaryJones @DrAlexGoerge1

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@SteveBarclay It's not just the pay that's an issue. The nhs staff wellbeing hubs haven't had funding secured yet? When will this be looked into. It is a vital service for staff who as you say have worked tirelessly, but even before the pandemic and they need a safe space to seek support.

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@SteveBarclay Yes, but we also urge you to address the funding needed for vital nhs staff wellbeing hubs. Pay and strikes aren't the only things at stake right now. Its not ok that they're being left in limbo for the people that could be helped and also the staff that work in them #fundNHShubs

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@SteveBarclay I would also love to see the prioritisation of nhs staff wellbeing, with the nhs wellbeing hubs continuing to be funded from the 31st march... rather than waiting in this limbo. Such an important and valuable service, which is still very much needed.

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

Heart breaking

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@theRCN Absolutely so could you please share re. The wellbeing hubs that were put in place due to the impact on health and social care staffs mental health during the pandemic, that they are at risk of closure.

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

😰😭

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

We didn't have parties to "boost morale"
We didn't have quiz nights
We didn't have champagne
We watched our colleagues die though
We were STEEPED in death
We kept going
We had to
We kept on
So don't you DARE say your parties were "necessary" @borisjohnson
You make me sick.

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@doctor_oxford @BorisJohnson And yet despite this horrific experience by front line staff the nhs wellbeing hubs are yet to have confirmed funding from 31st March. We don't want to close! Our work is valuable. And staff referrals are going up! Staff need help with their wellbeing. #fundNHShubs

[Vikki @rmn_vikki]

@BPSOfficial @DrHilaryJones @SteveBarclay @RishiSunak please #fundNHShubs the mental health of our nhs staff depends on it.
