It is dire - and we have been saying this for a long time. Here’s an AI analysis that I asked for. Councils pay themselves much more than they allow for independent sector providers, per bedroom per day. I guess, because that’s the *actual* cost of care. There’s the problem…

Morning folks. Please take a look at this letter, which includes my signature on behalf of @ErskineCharity , to @RachelReevesMP. I bet lots of you didn’t know that charities, delivering public sector care contracts, are already operating in the red. New #NIc could break us ❤️🩹
‼️ Media release:
80+ Scottish social care leaders sign letter urging @RachelReevesMP to change course on National Insurance.

Never underestimate the journey of an unpaid carer as their loved one moves into a care home. They have likely had their own needs set aside, probably been ignored by professionals & had to fight for the rights of both themselves & their loved one... that's trauma.
12 mins well spent on why valuing #socialcarenursing is so important. If I had my time again to choose an area of nursing then I would choose social care nursing all over again! #personcentred #olderpeople #positiveattitudeonageing

In this week’s #podcast I reflect on why I think #socialcarenursing needs to be more valued and better understood. #health #nursing #socialcare

Proud to be a #queensnurse & a career #carehomenurse - 22yrs! Always a strong advocate for personhood, for ensuring all residents in care homes are seen & respected. My poster this evening, illustrated the importance of #namaste care for those living with advanced dementia.

#carehome #queensnurses discussed the need to ensure our voices, nurses working directly in social care, are heard in all decisions on policy & practice concerning care homes.

@DrDMacaskill delivers a summary of what's been a fascinating day, emphasising the distinctive role of social care nursing. Relational. Emotional. Community. Innovation. We need to be clear about what we bring. We meet people where they are #SCNursing24
