Nursing is not a fallback career for people who have "messed up" their a-levels.
Nursing is a highly skilled profession for bright, innovative, academically and emotionally intelligent people.

The next generation should be doing better than the current one. Further evidence of failure to create better conditions for the next generation. Inequity between generations.
England is not making generational progress in numeracy skills.
While other countries have seen significant rises in numeracy, PIAAC data shows the mean numeracy proficiency for 16- to 24- year olds in England is the same as for 55- to 65- year olds.

ALT Chart shows average PIAAC numeracy score in selected OECD countries, 2019. Title states: "While other countries have made progress, younger generations in England are no more likely to be numerate than those born four decades earlier."

No #mentalhealth campaign or awareness strategy is ever reflective of the service users I know. The vast majority of these people remain invisible, stigmatised & face significant inequalities that pervades their everyday. #severementalillness #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
Absolutely spot on- the widespread use of term 'mental health' is almost meaningless
While seeking to destigmatise mental disorders, it has led to marginalisation & more discrimination of people with conditions like psychosis/schizophrenia. @Martha_Gill theguardian.com/commentisfre…

#OTD in 1943, at 10.45am, siblings Hans and Sophie Scholl walked into Munich University and distributed anti-Nazi leaflets. They were caught. On 22 Feb, they were sentenced to death and decapitated. Sophie had defiantly told the judge: "Somebody, after all, had to make a start."

Happy Valentine's day!❤️
Roses are red,
Violets are blue,
But if I can save 5 others,
I'll push you.

Bin off Blue Monday and celebrate ✨#BrewMonday✨ with us today instead! ☕
Blue Monday is just a made up marketing gimmick. Retweet to help us reject the unhelpful mental health stereotypes it perpetuates 🙅♀️

If Liz Truss remains as prime minister until next Thursday, she will have served just 51 days in office. Whether she leaves before then or not, she's by far the shortest serving prime minister in UK history

For over a month Owami Davies has been missing. She is a 24 year old student nurse. The same age as my student nurse daughter. Why is this not in all of our news feeds every day? @WeStudentNurse @wenurses @BBCNews @MayorofLondon @itvnews #BlackLivesMatter #FindOwami – at Kennington, England
Another week has passed and Owami Davies still hasn’t been found. Sadly, we know there would have been countless press conferences, trending hashtags and search parties if she was white, but let’s keep raising awareness for her regardless #FindOwamiDavies mirror.co.uk/news/uk-news/tr…
