Up to 50,000 nurses could quit UK over immigration plans, survey suggests Exclusive: union leaders say proposed changes are immoral and could threaten patient safety if there is staff exodus

Up to 50,000 nurses could quit the UK if the government’s immigration proposals are implemented.

Brilliant news for xenophobes. Not particularly great for patients and the elderly.

The NHS isn't safe under Labour, Tories or Farage.

An older woman with long white hair and a red dress stands beside a young person wearing headphones and a striped shirt. They appear to be inside a museum, looking up with interest. The woman has a hand gently resting on the young person’s shoulder, and a large animal display is partially visible behind glass.

Great news from RAMM! Exeter’s RAMM (Royal Albert Memorial Museum) has just been awarded the National Autistic Society’s Autism Friendly Award.

It’s a big step towards making Exeter a more inclusive city for everyone.
