Looking for a part time research associate post ? Join us in a study investigating strategies for retaining community nurses in their jobs and organisations - more details here jobs.ac.uk/job/DFL408/resear…. Funded by the General Nursing Council Trust.
Of interest @rcgp @RCPhysicians @FPARCP ? More summaries of our research evidence to follow
Great to have the opportunity to remind colleagues of the evidence from our research about Physician Associates (PAs). bmj.com/content/383/bmj.p279… Nine years on from our research PAs remain unregulated with issues of supervision and informing patients unresolved.

"older patients, particularly those with limited autonomy, who spend the night in the #ED awaiting hospital admission may have a higher risk of in-hospital #mortality and #morbidity; they should be prioritized for admission to a ward" important for #NHS jamanetwork.com/journals/jam…

Simon has done a much better job than me at taking the emotion out of the latest migration policy announcement and looking at its impact on social care. Take a look
Relaxing immigration rules for overseas careworkers in 2021 was the govt’s single most effective action on #socialcare. It brought down vacancies. Tightening the rules again is a real risk because, while vacancies have fallen, they are still higher than before COVID-19.

The government’s announcement about immigration and visa rules will have a devastating impact on nurse migration to the UK and on workforce shortages in social care. A government hell bent on playing politics rather than on ensuring we can take care of the health of the nation

In the last year, more nurses joined the NMC register who were educated internationally than those who were trained in the UK. Our IEN colleagues work in health & social care & form the bedrock of nursing teams serving UK citizens. @TheQNI @JamesCleverly @wesstreeting @nmcnews
