[Scottish Health Students Council @ScotHSC]

The Scottish Health Students Council meets again on March 8th. Below, and contained within this thread, are the minutes and action points from our last meeting.

[Joy - RN & PhD Student💙 @nursingPUNC18]

@Natalie_StN @nmcnews hope you can follow this thread of engagement today on student placement rostering and join in on the conversation, lend your support to this simple but effective change that can reduce student nursing stress loads nationally. #WeStNs

"A good working relationship between student and supervisors is known to be vital in PhD completions (Moxham et al., 2013), and nurses and midwives undertaking PhDs require supervisors who understand the complexity and intricacies of clinical practice."

Our clinical lead Jennifer Hawkins responds to @nmcnews press release revealing four nurse suicides during FTP investigations over the past year.

Records on this have only just begun as the NMC seeks to improve support during hearings.

Healthcare professionals witness traumatic events regularly, work in stressful conditions with lack of adequate staffing & often work irregular hours. All take a toll on wellbeing.

But how often do we ask them how they are?

How are you?

[Natalie Elliott 💙 @nursing_nat]

Giving students advance notice of their roster seems simple but is rarely done. The impact of failing to do it is being discussed over at @WeStudentNurse. Help us be amazing at the job we are passionate about #WeStNs #150Leaders

We want to hear more about your experiences of bullying, specifically around the support you have received.

If you spoke out about bullying, did you feel adequately supported by your university?

I've been given many wonderful opportunities as a #StudentNurse. It's a real pleasure to be representing @theRCN & @Stirling_Nurse at this event.

Filled with fond memories this afternoon of what an amazing student journey this has been. Far exceeded my expectations!

The NHS should never be on ANY table EVER while the weak Westminster government desperately try to grab trade deals with anyone in this Brexit nightmare!! #NHS #Brexit #Trump @theRCN @RCNStudents @StNurseProject @WeStudentNurse

[Nursing Standard @NurseStandard]

How do nurses feel when the ugly side of "care" is highlighted?

The recent BBC Panorama footage of alleged abuse at Whorlton Hall private hospital, led mental health nursing student, Leanne Patrick to look on in quiet horror. Read her story...

"Part of the solution lies in changing the social narrative of people with disabilities as ‘other’."

Supporting people to go into new careers, by making education accessible later in life, is fundamental to a thriving economy and will be key in the future as automation becomes more prevalent.

Bullying is a tough subject to talk about but we wanted to get an idea of how common it is. Please engage with our anonymous poll if you feel able.

Have you experienced bullying as a #StudentNurse?
