#HelloMyNameIs Katie RNMH

Glad I reserved my handle over on Bluesky in anticipation of an exodus at some point. Find me over there if you want to. Maybe we can make it what #nursetwitter was like back in't'day? bsky.app/profile/caffei…

@firstdirect She's tried that but she can't get through security.

@caffeinurse Hi Katie, please can you ask your mum to contact us on 03456 100 100, I understand you mentioned that her voice may sound different, but we'll do everything we can to help her further. -Lauren

@firstdirect hi, my mum is currently trying to get through to you by phone as she believes she has been scammed, but she is unable to get through security as she had thyroid surgery last year and her voice doesn't sound like it used to. How else can she reach you?

Am I reading correctly that NHS frontline staff are no longer eligible for COVID boosters? ukhsa.blog.gov.uk/2025/06/26/who…

@RuthOshikanlu @LeanneHPatrick And now I fear transphobia will be added to that list.

Congratulations to the new #RCNPresident #RCNDeputyPresident and new #RCNCouncil and all those who put themselves forward for these roles. The #CarrReview was published 2 yrs ago. It was a damning review with racism, misogyny, bullying, distrust, dysfunction as themes. I am so excited to see a more diverse Council and have so much hope about the future of the College. The next focus for @theRCN I hope will be engagement of members who feel marginalised. A 4.4% voting turnout is such a disappointment. We must make it a priority to find out why most members don't feel a need to vote.

@Mayz131 @Shrink_at_Large There are some of us out there, if you consider ADHD neurodevelopmental rather than mental health (which I do, as when mine is effectively treated, it doesn't affect my mental health).

News: The Mental Health Bill, published today, will introduce a 28-day limit on how long #autistic people and people with learning disabilities can be detained, unless they have a co-occurring mental health condition.

@LucyToynbee @Shrink_at_Large Yes, both are diagnoses in the ICD.

@Shrink_at_Large Does this mean that currently ‘Autism’ or ‘LD’ can be put into the ‘Diagnosis’ box to detain someone deemed a risk to self or others on Sec 3 papers?

Spend money to clear the backlog, or continue with massive waiting lists. Pick one.

Oh for fuck's sake.

@bjgw @theRCN Absolutely

Given that the roles of President and Deputy President of @theRCN are so important, and one that all members are eligible to vote on do you think @theRCN should hold a hustings?

@mrsmc_gray @MENnewsdesk Can't say I saw any of those from our position at the back of the parade.

@caffeinurse @MENnewsdesk I’m talking about the half naked men in bondage gear towards the back of the procession not people in uniforms. I shouldn’t know what kind of sex a random person enjoys just be up they’re not straight.

EXCLUSIVE: Greater Manchester Police will not take part in Pride parade this year as officers are told not to wear rainbows manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m… manchestereveningnews.co.uk/news/greater-m…

@mrsmc_gray @MENnewsdesk Not sure who you're thinking of but it's always SJA bringing up the rear so that our ambulance can get to those in need easily, and we tend to wear uniform…

@MENnewsdesk Good, the police are supposed to be apolitical. Also the pride marches are disgusting, the front lot are usually ok but when you get to the back end you have to have people in fetish gear walking the streets in the daytime with children? WTAF

Stoked to be representing @stjohnambulance by organising our entry into the @ManchesterPride parade! 🥳🏳️‍🌈🏳️‍⚧️ #SJAPride #StJohnPeople

@GMMH_NHS Hi, how is Rachel Reeves pausing the development of the new hospitals (of which I believe North View was one) affecting the project development? I'm surprised the Trust hasn't commented on this?

We’ve just received new images of our North View development! 📷 Follow the progress of our new state-of-the-art mental health inpatient unit on the North Manchester General Hospital site here: buff.ly/3PatEmm #GMMHImprovingNorthMcr

Ok; Racists you want me to pack my bags and leave . Where exactly do you want me to go ? considering I have no links other than United Kingdom, where I was born and raised. I just wanna know where you want to send me ?

The more I look at the nursing pay award from both this year and every year since I registered, the more I feel like what we really need is to reform the supposedly "independent" Pay Review Body. #FairPayForNursing

@stephbastiaan If this person does in fact identify as a woman, why are you using male pronouns for her?

🚨 NHS nurses are suing their employer over their transgender employee policy that allowed a man who identifies as a woman (and a lesbian 🙄) to use their change rooms, which they allege has led to sexual harassment. ⚠️ One of the nurses alleges he approached her in his boxer shorts, genitalia on display and asked repeatedly to undress. ❌ Sex self-ID laws and policies are unsafe for women and girls. 🎥 Good to chat with @DanicaDeGiorgio about this on @SkyNewsAust!

@ManchesterMill would you be able to help raise the profile of this?
