Your experience of working in the NHS matters. The 2026 NHS Staff Survey is open, giving staff a confidential way to say what is working and what should change.
Look out for your invitation email and have your say.

Lone working in community nursing is a recognised occupational necessity.
Can you help us to understand more about the risks and risk perception of all community nurses by completing a short survey (10 minutes)?
Please share widely.

Can you help with personal, informal research I am doing? I am trying to get an idea of an average day of your district/community nursing teams to find ways for my own team to work smarter, not harder.

To support prescribing decisions for older people with moderate to severe frailty, we recently published our Pragmatic Prescribing guidance. Endorsed by the @rpharms, the @rcgp, @RCPEdin, and the @RCPhysicians, this document was an instant hit. buff.ly/n33nYtM

🎄Distraction is major cause of error at work & home
Distracted by a phone call while greasing a tin last year, I forgot the last one resulting in a Christmas 'never event' - a retained mince pie😳🎄
Minimising distraction esp at safety critical times can make a big difference

Nursing ratios:
It’s a false economy to think you’re saving money by having fewer nursing staff. When we talk about recruiting more nurses, often we’re met with resistance around costs. However, not investing is what is financially unsustainable…. rcn.org.uk/magazines/Opinion…
