Bumped into/accosted the wonderful @drchatterjeeuk and his wife earlier. I’m a big supporter of his books and podcast and in my last role as a Practice Nurse would share with patients daily. His messages around health and wellbeing are life affirming and empowering ❤️

My silver Golf written off in early hours of the morning by man in police chase with stolen car. I started a job as a community nurse 2 weeks ago, my car is essential. A stranger set up a page to help me buy a new one 😭 Just astounded by human kindness at difficult times ❤️

The issue of recruiting and training PNs remain, yet more concerning is the retention of PNs as they are leaving due to the lack of a structured pay scale and fair maternity pay #NHS #PracticeNursing #PrimaryCare #NursingInPractice
Practice Nurses play a vital role in Primary Care - child&adult vaccinations, managing long-term conditions, smears, contraception, prescribe & much, much more. They deserve equal Ts&Cs to GP & NHS nurses but the majority do not. This needs to change - please sign this petition!

And also for practice nurses to be loud and proud about the work that they do!

Yes agreed 100 percent! Primary care nurses absolutely essential to delivering primary care of the future. We have a unique and valuable skill set and need to be valued.
Nursing in #GeneralPractice is an absolutely wonderful job but I strongly urge any nurses considering this to check Ts&Cs - they are not the same as the NHS, no standardised pay structure, usually statutory mat pay and sick pay @StNurseProject @WeStudentNurse Know your worth! ❤️

This inspiring NHS doctor was on my commuter train this morning begging us all to vote 👏👏as #OurNHS is not safe in Tory hands. Nor is our environment. #ClimateEmergency #SaveOurNHS #VoteLabour2019 🌹@DoctorsXr @OwenJones84 @JonAshworth @chakrabortty @redsarah99
Today(12th Nov) I stood up & spoke for 5 mins on a busy commuter train in London urging people to vote on the 🏥&🌿 instead of Brexit. Didn't mention any political party. Lovely response and got chatting. Will do each day until election @DoctorsXr @XRebellionUK @richardhorton1

I'm curious. What measures do we think will successfully achieve equal pay and T&Cs for GPNs (and other GP staff) across all UK Practices?
Please RT for a wider reach.

Very excited to attend #Confed18 over the next 2 days. Just months before I join workforce as a NQ nurse, it’s incredible to be in same room as NHS leaders, hearing discussions about the future of our NHS #NHS70 @nhsconfed @FBMH_UoM

How well are Nurses represented in the Health Media? > wecommunities.org/blogs/3385
Great blog post by @EllzSummary
"There are so many highly educated articulate nurses within the profession who would bring an altered perspective to the health media"
