‘Absolute pandemonium’: stories of ‘corridor care’ from the NHS in England Patients tell of their anger and embarrassment, while healthcare professionals say they are ‘heartbroken’

The results from the @rcn.org.uk survey are shocking.

Corridor care is a stark reminder of the cracks in our health and care system—undignified, unsafe, and unworthy of a nation that aspires to compassion and progress.

A rotten Conservative legacy.

Canadian researchers trial nature trick to boost mood in winter

These people eliminated 190 million dollars in childhood cancer research money to pay for tax cuts for the wealthiest corporations in human history. I’m a no.

I can’t recommend this enough. Very knowledgeable and approachable, both interviewer and interviewee. My head is still spinning from how the whole system is crafted.

The postal strike is the result of decades of disrespect and disregard for workers. Had the Liberals and Conservatives not legislated them back to work last contract we would have not been in this place to begin with. 1/3

My son went through this program and is now a fully employed wind turbine technician.

10/ we can start now. Let’s all be kind, let’s all go home safe, let’s all understand that abusive behaviour and violence doesn’t help to obtain faster service in HC or anywhere. Let’s let these caring professionals do their jobs to the best of their ability without fear of being hurt.
All the best!

COMMENTARY: More than a nuisance, it’s time to scrap sick notes — for good Sick notes put additional strain on already overburdened providers, reducing access to care and potentially leading to longer wait times for appointments.

Doctors in Canada spend 1.5M hours annually on sick notes — the equivalent of 6M patient visits. With 1 in 5 Canadians lacking a family doctor, it’s time to rethink this outdated practice.
