We’ve seen the same question a lot today:

“The NHS has over 100,000 vacancies. How can doctors and nurses be struggling to find jobs?”

We think the answer is more complicated than most people realise.

@WWLNHS Is this stand moving around the Trust?

[Dr Rachel Clarke @doctor_oxford]

I’m simply horrified to see @NHSEngland now literally breaking the law in how it misrepresents physician associates & other allied health professional - who are NOT doctors - to the public.

Imagine moving to the UK to care for society’s most vulnerable. Only to be trapped in forced labour, with your passport or pay withheld.

This is the reality for many social care workers in the UK. Sign our letter to party leaders to stop exploitation. https://t.co/0VZ0VW17Wh

It takes a remarkable person to work in nursing. 

The voice of nursing staff and their patients must be heard in this general election.

ICYMI: We've looked closely at what political parties have to say on health and social care.

Political parties are vying for your vote on 4 July.

Every politician needs the nursing vote. Read more: https://t.co/G1JQPqAftt

[Helen Bevan @HelenBevan]

I have been asked for advice about improving organisational culture. My view? DON'T start by setting up a "culture change" programme or a direct "culture" intervention. Culture gets changed when people start doing real work differently. Culture change is a byproduct of wider improvements. See for instance: https://t.co/rwNoixl4GJ. Via @HBSWK

[The RCN @theRCN]

In her keynote address at #RCN24, Acting RCN General Secretary and Chief Executive Nicola Ranger had a simple message to all parties: start pay negotiations immediately after the election to avoid further pay rise delays.

@BBCNewsnight @BBCNews @itvnews @GranadaReports @Channel4News @SkyNews Please ask the leaders of the political parties why they are refusing to speak with nurses about pay, patient safety, safe & effective staffing and proper funding for the NHS? Is the NHS not important politics

@Zarinmi1 @autcareandshare Have spoken to the airport and explained your problems. They may have some ideas or sessions for autistic people.

@RainbowWardWWL I've got hold of the plan for making one. Its just the cost of the #LEGO you need to find

@CNOEngland @THorton What a way to put down a number of professions in one little tweet

[Sandra Slater-Booth @sslaterbooth]

@Thornton_health I really do hope you are alone.

[Just Treatment 💊 @JustTreatment]

🚨 NEW: The UK “underperforms significantly” on tackling its biggest killer diseases, in part because of years of underinvestment in the #NHS.

Yet more evidence that patients are dying because of the political choices made by Conservative governments.

@CoplandStevie Its not just the touching but the coughs, clothing brushing over the food and kids picking up bits to try and then putting them back because they didn't like it 😨

[Sandra Slater-Booth @sslaterbooth]

@WWLNHS You ate all amazing. Without you we would literally be in a mess

@CoplandStevie I used to live wearing high heels but now i can only look at them whimsically
