Hearing @alisonleary1 speak on “Why ratios now?” - so powerful. Clarity on what ratios do and don’t do. “Ratios are a REDLINE to manage risk. They are a fail safe. They are NOT a workforce model to plan staffing” #safestaffing #valuenursing #protectthepublic #nurseptratios

"Nursing care of older people goes beyond the confines of a hospital bed or a care home. It's about empowering older people to live their best lives, to feel valued & respected" #NursesDay @Ageing_Better @IndependentAge @CNOEngland @TheQNI @IndependentAge bgs.org.uk/blog/nurses%E2%80…
