New push for legal protection of ‘nurse’ in job titles MP Dawn Butler is to introduce a bill that would make it illegal for individuals to call themselves a ‘nurse’ unless registered with the Nursing and Midwifery Council (NMC). This follows earlier campa...

It really is. A Nursing Standard FOI showed 93% of Trusts employed people with 2nurse" in their titles who had no nursing qualifications or NMC registration rcni.com/nursing-stan...

This is prioritising cleaning the windows while the house is on fire. Hardworking NHS staff deserve better, patients deserve better.

No government in the last 10-20 years (since Blair really) has shown the slightest interest in retaining/developing the expert experienced healthcare workforce. In fact Tories approached us like we’re an expensive waste.

Will @rthonwesstreeting.bsky.social do better?

Bring back seniority pay?!
