THE EMBLEMS ARE HERE 🙌🔥 Consider this your official reveal 😉 Inspired by our reef, beaches, hinterland and everything in between, they bring together the places, people and spirit that will take us to 2032. Distinctive. Unmistakably Queensland. And just a little bit cheeky Brisbane, Queensland, Australia - this one’s yours 💗

Great news for new parents: intensive care admissions for RSV in babies have halved in England, thanks to the maternal vaccination programme. 👶👶🏾👶🏼 If you're pregnant, don't miss out. Contact your maternity service or GP practice to get vaccinated & help protect your newborn.

Just finished nights where we had zero catheters in ED, no working MRI, no aciclovir available for my patient, and skeletal nursing and HCA staffing. I had to scour three stores for a blue cannula… But no… difficult conditions because of the strikes 🤡 #FullPayRestoration

"We did not need to be in this position. These strikes were unnecessary." @WesStreeting explains why 👇 Watch his message to NHS staff continuing to work during strikes.

Imagine someone nicks £40 from your £100. They give you £20 back, then call you greedy for asking for the rest. That’s what doctors are facing. They are being paid 20% less in real terms than they were in 2008. Full pay restoration is not an unreasonable demand.

1/ Today the BMA has started legal proceedings to rectify the disastrous decision to unilaterally withdraw applications to higher specialty training for those doctors affected by the @MRCPUK exams debacle. Read the press release: bma.org.uk/bma-media-centre/…

🧵/ This heartbreaking case highlights why so many doctors like me have begged @NHSEngland & @DHSCgovuk to stop endangering NHS patients by substituting doctors with non-medically trained PAs We've been dismissed & smeared as "toxic bullies". Please read this thread & decide.

When the BBC told us that they had filmed this, we discussed whether it should be broadcast. I am glad that it has been so that everyone can see that our staff sometimes have to deal with the totally unacceptable @AACE_org

Abuse is #NotPartOfTheJob ❌ Watch the shocking moment in @BBC #Ambulance EP1 where a panic alarm blares out on open radio channel. A #TeamLAS crew has been assaulted while treating a patient. Last year our staff reported 2,159 cases of verbal and physical abuse.
