Still time to tell us what you think about vaccinations uptake
CommPrac@CommPrac25 Sep 2025

🌟 NEW: We're making it a criminal offence for people who are not qualified as a nurse to use the title and mislead the public. By protecting the title ‘nurse’ in law, we will help protect both patients and staff across the NHS. More details: gov.uk/government/news/fake-… #IND2025

Joint statement from Chief Nursing Officer Maria McIlgorm and Chief Medical Officer Professor Sir Michael McBride. Full statement ➡️ health-ni.gov.uk/news/joint-…
“The health and social care system in Northern Ireland is, and will continue to be, a place of welcome and support for all, regardless of culture, ethnicity or background. “We are the richer for our diverse and multicultural workforce, not only professionally, but within our communities. Everyone deserves to be treated with respect and to live in a safe environment free from harm and intimidation. “We therefore condemn and stand against this deplorable racist behaviour and express our full support to all HSC staff.”
