Ruth Rawson RN GPN

Qualified 2022. Entered GP as an NQN. I’m enjoying the personal and professional challenges, and development opportunities my role offers. Ask me about it 😊

Inspired to do my own #studentnurse board in AMU @sathPRH giving a brief intro of each student to our colleagues 👍🏼 @WeStudentNurse @StNurseProject @wlvnursing

Anyone noticed the tone of this platform has become quite toxic… not sure if it’s just my feed?

Exclusive: Half of practice nurses still without pay rise for 2024/25, @NurseinPractice survey reveals https://t.co/iUR2UkiA37

@NurseStandard Or ‘why should we think it acceptable not to pay nurses the extra hour they will work?’ This question demonstrates the normalised culture of nurses working extra as goodwill. Expecting yet another unpaid hour of nurses time is typical @RCNWestMids @SocialistNHS

@lynnewalsall How wonderful 🤩

@crgilligan @RCNGPNForum @gpnreport We had 5 min appts and this was ample

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

Today sees the first of our #RSV clinics done and it was very positive. Patients were informed and receptive, and we managed the reconstitution process in 5min appts.

Look forward to protecting more 75-80yo over the next few months

@ZARINAKHAN31 @wlv_uni @Gpnsnn Sounds familiar Zarina! We just need to settle in to studying again… best of luck 🤩

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

2yrs post qualified and Sept sees me back at @wlv_uni to start the PGDip Specialist Community Nursing (General Practice) course - which now inc the V300 qualification.

V. EXCITED! 🤩 @Gpnsnn

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@NurseAghogho @wlv_uni @Gpnsnn Thank you ☺️

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@lynnewalsall @wlvnursing Thanks very much Lynne 😊

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@Jemma_Louise_86 @wlv_uni @Gpnsnn Take a look at the course spec… it delves deeper in to public health and leadership with physical assessment and prescribing - providing the tools to work at an enhanced level #GPN

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@BeverleyMTanner @wlv_uni @Gpnsnn That’s reassuring, thank you. What’s the workload like?

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@BeverleyMTanner @wlv_uni @Gpnsnn Oh brilliant! Really wasn’t sure between this and starting masters modules towards ACP… not convinced ACP is my destination though

[UK Health Security Agency @UKHSA]

With only a few weeks to go until the start of the university term, it's important that students are up to date with vaccines for:

🔹 MenACWY
🔹 HPV
🔹 MMR
This can be checked on the NHS App 📱

@Danny_Heppell @GPNurselaura Oooo now you’re talking! #GPN

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@lizzy_bitz Same. I’m putting together a business case to demonstrate the benefits of taking her on: 2yr Apprenticeship inc. Fundamentals + other training. If we have a vacancy in 2yrs great but she’ll be set up as a GPN. Compared to locum HCA/nurse she will be value for money.

[Prof Alice Roberts💙 @theAliceRoberts]

I still can’t quite believe this happened. What does it say about our society?

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@Kasim_YBR @wlv_uni @MarkHayter1 @Wiley_Nursing @jclinnursing @WeNurses Fantastic Kasim 🤩 hopefully research will inform the debate of quality over quantity in terms of placement requirements

[Ruth Rawson RN GPN @ruth_rawson]

@jclinnursing @Kasim_YBR 🙌🏼 Could this research bring about a refocus on the quality of ‘placement/simulation experiences rather than quantity of placement hours in redefining PAD requirements…
