'Quiet Leadership: a Guided Journey' by Julian Stodd. 1st session tonight thought provoking. Humility, kindness, fairness, grace -the smallest of actions make a difference. What are our hopes? Easy to articulate thanks to @QNI_Scotland QN prog! docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAI…

@ruth_liddle That’s great you’re volunteering! Much appreciated- I know others doing same. But many are also getting paid large sums. This is not an anti-GP thing. It should be a flat reasonable rate for all paid vaccinators. That’s best use of NHS resources

@GillDennes I’m a doctor working as a volunteer along with many of my colleagues. (Pay zero and cover our own travel expenses) As for experience in my years as a GP I accumulated vast experience over more than 25 years of flu clinics.

GP nurses- £12/ hr to vaccinate for NHS regardless of their grade. Experienced vaccinators! But Optometrist- £230 for 3.5 hr session as vaccinator. GPs & other staff being paid their approx normal rates too. Nurses have most experience so why pay them less? Why downgrade nurses?

So excited to have received an amazing welcome pack from the @QNI_Scotland team, can't wait to start the journey next week and get to know some fantastic, inspirring nurses, still in shock at having been selected, what an honour!

I’m ANP & very proud to be a nurse. I bring my 40+ yrs of nursing skills to my ANP role. The problem is that nursing has always been an undervalued profession (as are caring roles per se) & we nurses need to make our voice heard. COVID has raised value of caring professions tho?
Gemma 💙@PaedsNurseGem
@HeadSmartFellow @ash_patel21 Sad, though, that people have to drop the “nurse” from their job title in order to get the respect they deserve. Every ANP I’ve met has been proud to be a nurse, they shouldn’t have to mask it.

Nothing has changed on the vaccine frontline this week. Just pay all vaccinators the same rate for doing the same job. It’s not rocket science and is happening elsewhere in UK. Nurses just want fairness & better use of NHS resources. #valuenursing dailyrecord.co.uk/news/scottish-…

@nicholas74330 @muhtaku1 @POTUS Read the (proper) science evidence before tweeting your nonsense. Thank goodness the USA is back in the Paris Agreement; perhaps we can slow some of our human destruction of our wonderful planet before it’s too late.

@muhtaku1 @POTUS This is nothing new since the creation of the world it has fluctuated so much that we are in one of the coolest periods. When the time that exodus occurred that is when it was the warmest ever recorded. We are considered to be in an minie ice Age. We are all going to be okay.

Today, America is officially back in the Paris Climate Agreement. Let’s get to work.

Scots nurses voice anger as medics cash in. The Sunday Times @NicolaSturgeon @JeaneF1MSP What happened to the Equal Pay Act? Nurses are the most experienced vaccinators. We don’t expect high pay to vaccinate but we do expect equality here. thetimes.co.uk/article/scots-…

@gavinfranc @gdnlongread Good article but maybe check your injection technique as 2 important errors. We don’t use alcohol wipes or ‘draw back’ as per the online learning you mentioned. The practice nurse/ANP community would’ve liked you to mention that this is a team effort! We GPNs have noticed!

Delighted that Emma, a previous learner on the @NHS_Education GPN Programme, has been successful in gaining a place on the @QNI_Scotland Queen’s Nurse Programme. A truly inspiring GPN QN for the future. We are looking forward to your journey 👏👏

@Jacquelin_Joyce @LynneInnes1 @RCNGPNForum @RCNScot @eileenmckrcn @shopsnon68 @Jacquelin_Joyce we have patients’ thanks & portfolios, we’ve completed years of training (many MSc level), we have huge experience. Yet still downgraded to basic qualified level pay whilst others professionals are paid at their current rate. We need equality not just gratitude!

@LynneInnes1 @RCNGPNForum @GillDennes @RCNScot @eileenmckrcn @shopsnon68 By ensuring we except their lived experience as learning, because every interaction with the patient is learning. No amount of modules gives them that instinct and experience! So recognize it! Put it in a portfolio along with patient congratulations and thanks letters
