Finally... the recording:
'Valuing Nurses, Valuing Nursing' - its long overdue
youtube.com/watch?v=RCNptf7V…
I haven't been on here much for ages... for obvious reasons. But I do miss it as a place where I can get exposure to a range of views.
And also where I can find community of like minded people who care about nursing, and its uncertain future... and want to act to save it
David Oliver: Nurses, degrees, and the workforce crisis | The BMJ
Whatever’s causing our problems in nursing, they won’t be solved by giving people less education and training—an argument that should surely have had its day.
"Be more Corporate"
Senior nurses - what does this mean for you? Are you asked to back plans you diagree with?
Plans that you think will damage nursing and have an adverse effect on patient care?
How do you respond?
Loved this presentation by @ClaireW_UK and Jamie Hunter. Nurse and finance working together, because “we tried arguing but this worked better”

It's not a relationship if they only call or come to you when they need something.
It's a transaction.
How do you measure the value of nursing? An economists perspective.

@JackNeedleman @KateLKirk
Nurses are a profession - with individualised skill and expertise. Not a workforce of interchangeable widgets. Nurses are not disposable - we are not pairs of hands that are all much of a muchness.
Nursing is a HUMAN CAPITAL.

In other news?
The latest version of the #NHS workforce plan has a …hold your breath… a 70% reduction of nursing numbers compared to the workforce plan from…
3 years ago
I would suggest the @theRCN leadership tackle this with the urgency it deserves
Unless the plan is to do the GP jobs mentioned
If so, it helps a few
The job is to fight for the many- and help improve health of population
A 70% drop in projected nurse numbers- which was agreed to 3 years ago?
Isn’t that.
(Via @FinancialTimes)
Nurses have voted to ensure the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) acts upon attempts to ‘undermine’ advanced nursing practice – warning that without these vital roles, GP practices and accident and emergency departments ‘would drown’.
