Please repost for all the cleaning staff who are working across the NHS today. They are a huge part of the NHS family and it would be impossible to keep patients safe without them.

Healthcare assistants in the NHS are being paid just £12.92 per hour. That’s just 21p above the National Living Wage. Please retweet if you think they deserve better and help raise awareness of this issue.

Reporting an adverse event from a medicine or medical device through the @MHRAgovuk Yellow Card scheme is a key part of how we ensure medicine safety - you can report as a healthcare professional or member of the public 👇🏻

Using the Yellow Card scheme is now easier. You can now create a new account or access an existing Yellow Card account using NHS login, providing a secure and convenient way to sign in using credentials you already use across NHS services. 🔗 brnw.ch/21x3L7l

Really important that patients, patient groups, general practice and pharmacy teams, negatively impacted by the current system where a pharmacist cannot supply a suitable alternative without a new prescription, respond to this consultation.

Pharmacists are crucial to our 10 Year Health Plan and today we are launching a consultation on enabling them to dispense alternative medicines if a prescription isn't available. Common sense healthcare; good for pharmacists, patients, and the community. gov.uk/government/consultati…

This consultation seeks views on proposals to enable pharmacist flexibilities when dispensing medicines.

Michelle Mone can be expelled from the House of Lords by a simple majority vote in the Commons, and then in the House of Lords. Like if she needs to go. RT if she has to go.

Time for King Charles to visit Canada, where he is head of state and has every right to go whenever he wants. I have no doubt the welcome would be ecstatic. And very symbolic. Retweet if you agree.

Thank you to all our incredible NHS staff working over the Christmas period! From porters and pharmacists to doctors and dentists, thank you for continuing to care for our loved ones each and every day. 💙#ThankYouNHS #WeAreTheNHS
A group of staff cheering and smiling. There are snowflakes along the top of the image, and text that reads ‘Thank you to all NHS colleagues working this Christmas!’.

𝗜𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂’𝗿𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗡𝗛𝗦 𝗽𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗲𝗻𝘁, 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗱 𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲𝗳𝘂𝗹𝗹𝘆: • The government and the GMC have agreed to regulate & legitimatise false doctors • They have done this despite enormous protest from NHS Doctors and patients • Their one goal is to cheapen healthcare (that you fund) - the cost is your health. WHAT TO DO: At your next visit, ask for it to be documented that you do not consent to assessment or treatment solely by a Physician Associate/Anaesthetic Associate.
