I called out a Reform MP’s racist comments in Parliament today.

I withdrew calling her a racist for her racist comments. But let’s be clear - racism has no place in Parliament or our politics.

We find it's a real challenge in terms of modelling particularly systems or workforce and have to mitigate journals.sagepub.com/doi/10.1177/...

Lots of potential but so little attention on DQ!

Had a great day today, thank you! Highlights were @alisonleary1.bsky.social, Hannah Wells and the Palliative Care workshop with Alex Manchini and Kate Jackson #NNAConference2025a

Congratulations Terri!

Last week I was privileged to be admitted,as a nurse,as Freeman of the City of London (following in my Dad’s footsteps) proud to be part of the history of the city & nursing-will do my best with the book of rules! @rcn.org.uk @carterp118.bsky.social @natlou28.bsky.social @alisonleary1.bsky.social

It's astonishing to me that so much healthcare policy fails to take on board subject matter expertise or engaging the workforce in design or implementation and still expect success

Are you an experienced registered nurse in NHS employment (direct or indirect) at risk of redundancy? Willing to talk on or off the record? Trusted journalist #journorequest DMs open.

This is very good news, losing the L7 in health would have been profound. Well done @ihealthvisiting.bsky.social @theqicn.bsky.social SAPHNA and co for persisting with this.

Indeed. We value experienced frontline professionals in other high risk commercial industries but not healthcare. As a tax payer I want value not low cost.

If I could wish for one thing it would be a culture shift by decision makers/HMT that the experiencd workforce is an asset critical to safety and productivity instead of just a cost.

Thanks for joining us and sharing your insights on nursing as a safety-critical workforce, Prof. Leary!
