We wouldn't say, I don't think, that nurses 'support' doctors; we would say that they work 'with' doctors & vice versa. It should be the same for unreg' staff - HCAs work 'with 'nurses (or midwives, or physios..) Language matters. It shapes culture.

Ward: I don’t know lads discharging someone at 17:01 on a Friday sounds a bit risky let’s just keep them over the weekend to be safe ED: if we put pillows in the urinals we could bed at least four more people in this toilet

1/4. I can’t be only #Health are worker thinking it’s an absolute scandal that healthcare assistants (HCAs), often the backbone of ward-based practice, are typically banded on AfC band 2… what’s that per hour? Something like less than £11 p/h? @theRCN @RCNWestMids @RCNSthBham

The majority of #Nurses in the #NHS in the #UK are AfC Band 5. The top of Band 5, which takes years to achieve, is currently £32,934. The Starting point is £27,077. Around about the same as a Bus Driver then. #RCN #Nursing #FairPayforNursing #SafeStaffingSavesLives @theRCN

On #FairPayforNursing and #RCNStrike as @susannareid100 sums it up - “it’s unsafe”. … what price is the government willing to put on the safety of patients? As if #Nurses aren’t paid fairly, recruitment and retention won’t improve - it will remain unsafe. It’s about #Safety!
"Nurses have been underpaid for far too long... to a point where it's unsafe" Broadcaster Susanna Reid says her mother, who registered as a nurse sixty years ago, "sees what nurses are going through every week" when she volunteers in hospitals #BBCLauraK bbc.in/3YIzy0y

Hearing reports of @CQCProf turning up to inspect clinical areas last week and with inspectors and managers more interested in small amounts of clutter on wards than the dangerous understaffing. Without #Nurses, patient safety is at risk. #SafeStaffingSavesLives #RCNStrike
