ask… Why one operating list starts on time and another doesn’t. Why a scan is reported tomorrow,another next week. Why one trust does twice as many day cases as another. Why patients disappear into loops of Advice&Guidance, diagnostics, clinic and tests. myemail.constantcontact.com/…

A BBC investigation has uncovered evidence of migrant workers dying in workplace accidents in Qatar, in the final weeks before the World Cup. Families in #Nepal blame poor safety standards. Qatar's govt says it’s committed to the safety of all workers. @pateriyaram @rajneeshb

Jfc I’m an ANP, 8a. We’re NOT doctors. I work closely WITH doctors and am far more skilled than I was but my role is different (hopefully complementary). These people need to stop causing division or they risk diluting our message. – at North West, England

2. It’s been a privilege to nurse . It’s been everything I wanted in a career and I am almost jealous ( and proud ) that she is starting on the journey. I would do it all over again. Yes it’s tough at the moment but there is positive in the value we bring #Nursing
