Petition: Fund a full bursary and maintenance fund to train Learning Disability Nurses At a time when the demand across health and social care is so high, numbers entering the LD nursing profession are too low. To halt this decline, support the profession with a full bursary and maintenance fund. Now is time for action.

At a time when demand across health and social care is so high, numbers entering the LD nursing profession are too low.

Please sign this petition to support our profession which faces extinction!

Our Health Service is categorically NOT safe in the hands of this man.

We need to brace ourselves for the NHS Plan being released in June, I’ve been reliably informed that there will be RADICAL changes.

Hospitals in England could shed 100,000 jobs in response to cost-cutting orders Exclusive: Scale of looming job losses prompts NHS leaders to ask Treasury to cover costs

Cuts & privatisation WILL NOT make the NHS more efficient, but far less.

Cutting up to 150,000 NHS staff will have significant and far reaching implications upon remaining staff & the quality of patient care.

This is a complete false economy and a huge mistake.

For those of us working in the field of disability healthcare we underpin practice with the phrase β€˜nothing about us, without us’

Labour would do well to consider this

The needs & voices of the disability community should be at the heart of the Gov’s plans, not an afterthought

⏰ NHS Pay Award 3 days late.

When Labour won this election, they PROMISED that they would address our pay

They PROMISED that pay uplifts would happen on time

They PROMISED they would not leave us in the dark like with other government

Pls share

Hello (properly) BlueSky. I’m a healthcare commentator, spent 10 yrs leading openDemocracy’s award-winning health reporting. My focus is how we get truly patient-centred care, & how profit motive & over-reliance on tech can harm it. Learned machine code aged 9. Often the only non-medic in the room.

Labour’s vision for the NHS is getting grim As Labour tries to please both private and public interests, its policies for the NHS are in danger of costing a lot and achieving little

Stop Wes Streeting using our money to build up private healthcare

Private healthcare companies are asking the government to guarantee them public money for the long term, in exchange for spending Β£1 billion building up their own facilities.

That's just daft! Take 1 min to send Wes Streeting our letter now: weownit.org.uk/act-now/stop...
