I am really so sick of the extent to which the HCPC
@The_HCPC does not care EVEN REMOTELY about those it regulates.
I have a #FitnessToPractise case going on since September 2020 - nearly 4 years hanging over the registrant & putting them at significantly increased risk of death by suicide.
Got invited to a short hearing on the case this week. I say "Is this an error, I'm not aware of any upcoming hearing?".
Response - "Oh the HCPC decided to discontinue the case against your client, it's just that nobody bothered to tell him. Or you. The hearing is for the HCPC's discontinuance application".
There are multiple stages to deciding to discontinue, making that application & arranging a hearing. The registrant is of so little importance to the HCPC that nobody, at any point in the process, thought to inform the registrant himself that his ordeal would be coming to an end.
This says EVERYTHING about the HCPC's toxic attitude to registrants, which runs right through the FtP process.
Great self development day by Sunday Times best selling author @TheSumoGuy with the Glossop Practices and PCN. Easily the best development day I've been on.
PLEASE BE AWARE our new ad hits hard, shedding light on the critical need to support the mental health of NHS frontline staff.
We support around 9,000 people every single week, but we could do even more. Please share & donate.
They are there for us, can you be there for them?
@kimberleyseddon I've found that it's more of a take whats on offer. Most places only stock a couple of options but I'm hopeful it will be on draft one day.
Any recommendations for alcohol free beverages to have when out? I’ve not really been drinking for a while now, but bored of the go to elderflower cordial and soda water… suggestions!?
@NWAmb_Steve@NWAmb_Dan@NWAmbulance ... Ann was and always will be one of our most dedicated UNISON reps and we all love her and thank her for her dedication to our members. All who know Ann will agree. Xx
Ann & I started together as Ambulance Cadets & it’s been a great career of 39 ½ years, laughing, crying, saving lives, meeting colleagues, making friends & memories that’ll stay with us forever. Thanks Ann, keep giggling through retirement 💚 @NWAmb_Dan@NWASUnison@NWAmbulance
@CentennialMedic@YorkParamedics Great to see this exchange program still going well,
I did this exchange 13 years ago and it was an experience I'll never forget.
Although the drinking age caught afew of us out. We now have Tim Hortons in the UK. Advances in coffee taste.
Day 2 of the UK invasion @YorkParamedics Service and the excitement is palpable! A cross-continental educational adventure. Liverpool John Moores University #ParamedicStudents are soaking in every moment, learning the ropes of Canadian Paramedicine & Pre-Hospital Care. 🇬🇧 🚑 🇨🇦
@PinkhairedPara@jackjoseph94 Yeah I'm not fighting to stay on any bank. Plenty of others that see our value and appreciate our spare time. I've heard similar stories.
Why does it seem as though you have to leave the ambulance service to progress in your career 😩
Offered multiple UCP/ACP roles with better pay, and funded masters if I leave YAS.
But I don’t actually want to leave YAS 🫣 I just want to progress… why is this so hard?
