@YavorRM Arwel Davies Congratulations! 😀

I'm relatively new to nursing. Genuine question... at what point in RN history did RN's adopt the position that they have to accept Nurse In Charge leadership duties at Band 5 for no extra pay? How has a situation evolved where this responsibility is not monetarily rewarded?

Making the most of our new shower beds on #CriticalCare to help tracheostomy patients to shower. David enjoyed being able to access the shower as part of his #rehab to make a change from bed based washes! We’d love to know if you have any experience this? (Consent gained)

Worth putting this factual content out again...

"1 in 5 patients have access to #rehabilitation professionals in ICU, it wouldn't be acceptable that 1 in 5 pts had acces to an ICU consultant" and we still fighting for funding and rely on staff good will to do so. Clearly should be part of ICU provision. #SOA22 Intensive Care Society 💙

We’re haemorrhaging GPs right now 1 GP per 1600 patients is considered safe Currently in the UK 1 GP has 2200 patients! How could it NOT affect waiting times? It’s NOT the fault of GPs. We’re being forced to accept worse care by this government. Let’s hold THEM to account!

I got my ICU patient diary today and went through it with two lovely members of staff. A tricky read but the thought and kindness that the nurses and physios put into it is so helpful. A few thoughts… #ICUrehab

People criticising the wage asks of public sector workers: You need to remember they’ve had years of real-terms pay cuts going into this. That’s why their situation is so dire. If you clapped them two years ago, support them now. It’s more important.

GPICS stands for ‘Guidelines for the Provision of Intensive Care Services’ and it sets out the standards for ICU care in the UK 🇬🇧 - Intensive Care Society 💙 believes these standards are ***not aspirational*** but are essential to safe care during the current health crisis 👉👉👉
