When you’re a teenager on a wet day in 1999

@sarajcox I have a client in my Pilates class who recently went to visit family on holiday to a small village in Norfolk turns out to be the same village my cousin lives in and her sister and her were in the same school year. My Pilates class is North Bristol!

Tell me your best “small world” story. (Inspired by chatting to a cabbie who went to school with Jo Whiley’s husband.) Maybe you met someone at work, on hols, in A&E, at a gig & you discovered a tenuous, uncanny or dramatic connection? Alllll the deets please!

@Jane_i_kennedy @TraceyF75154095 @BeckyVarnouse I started ICU on Monday, I’m sure you’ll love it, but I’ve definitely got plenty to learn. Good Luck.

@pampelders16 Good luck Pam

The count down is on 💪🏼⚽️

@dr0stupid @HealthRegLawyer Could nurses not use the similar competency based increase in bands as I u set stand midwife’s have? Or maybe they do? I’m AHP so if I want to go up the bands I have to apply for a new position

I genuinely don't understand this. What is the difference between a nurse and e.g. a radiographer/ODP/paramedic which justifies separate pay scales?

@dhlexpressuk I need this sorted now…. My daughter is due to go on holiday and because of your staff incompetence this may not happen.,. Not sure how much cleaner I could be. And you came outside the time slot we were provided

@nix0504 I'm terribly sorry to hear about this delivery issue Nic, please DM me the tracking number so the issue can be seen to. Kind regards, Amrick

Can someone please tell me why @dhlexpressuk are so incompetent… with clear signs on my letter box you have posted my daughter’s passport only to be destroyed by our dog. I needed this sorted now. No phone number.

@dhlexpressuk I haven’t been given a number

@fgl8 @theRCN Wales are nit paid more… Wales have had no offer for 2023-2024

@theRCN No! Why nurses in England should be paid less than colleagues in Scotland and Wales? You need to push for 7.5% at least!!!

The new NHS pay offer for England, which we recommend you accept, includes: ➡️Two one-off payments for 22/23 ➡️A consolidated % award for 23/24 ➡️Framework for safe staffing ➡️Consideration of a new AfC pay spine for nursing Get in the know: bit.ly/42i4eHz

@Gemmagibbins1 @alisonleary1 11% in Wales???!!! I don’t think they have!

@alisonleary1 I’d like to know how Scotland and wales have an 11% offer and England get 5%. I wil not be voting to accept this insulting offer. The nursing strikes did nothing to disrupt services which is what is needed for attention to be paid to the fact we mean business!

@dean_susi @CSullivanCSP @thecsp My understanding midwifes don’t have to apply for B6, they have to achieve certain competences which can be completed much quicker than expected 2 years+ for AHP. Unsure of nurses.

@CSullivanCSP @thecsp Is the underlying issue that many AHPs quickly progress to band 6, whereas the majority of nurses are stuck on band 5?

A 🧵 to clarify the position regarding offer from SoS to RCN to explore feasibility of separate pay arrangements for nurses as it understandably continues to cause both concern and confusion to @thecsp members and others

@parrkers @dean_susi @CSullivanCSP @thecsp My understanding midwifes don’t have to apply for B6, they have to achieve certain competences which can be completed much quicker than expected 2 years+ for AHP. Unsure of nurses

@dean_susi @CSullivanCSP @thecsp For an AHP to progress from a 5 to 6 they have to apply for a 6. Same for nursing I guess?

@BillingMartin @thecsp @The_HCPC And an NHS payrise that doesn’t even cover these increased costs!!!

With 5% increase from @thecsp and a 20% rise from @The_HCPC we are now looking at £45pcm to come to work. Its a struggle to see the current value of either in the real world, and no where near a deal that is a fair and equitable pay rise/conditions for NHS staff. Untenable #nhs

@sam_studentslt That’s wonderful, I hated being referred to as the student and even when patients were allocated to me they had an “S” by then and not my name 🙄. Now I find it odd that my Clin Ed is a colleague (weird). Everyone should be fully respected 🙌

On placement, I'm always 'Sam' or 'my friend'. Never 'my student' I'm always asked my opinion I'm treated as one of the team They don't care that I don't drive They took me on with 5 days notice & happily changed their timetables for me This is how placements should be 🥰

@leeashworth35 @2SevernBridges And at Aust Junction

The #M48 Severn Bridge is now closed due to high winds. Diversion is via the #M4 #PrinceOfWalesBridge. We will keep you updated on any changes.

@RunningAfter45 I love Brooke’s Ghost 13, but they have now changed them. Don’t like the fit of 14… now need to try something new 😬🙈. Help!

Wowza, I love my Saucony Endorphin Speeds. Just curious what’s your favorite running shoe brand/model??

@RAC_care so after being advised up to a 20 day wait to respond to my complaint. Today is 21 days and we continue to wait!!!! #poorcustomerservice #rac_care #poorservice #disatisfiedcustomer #complaint #FCA

@Dr_BellaR @sophieirwin48 I read it as Non Working Day, so thought that’s not so bad 😂🤦‍♀️

Any physios in London free over the Christmas week to volunteer?

@parrkers @KateBurkeNHS @alisonleary1 Physios in my trust have to apply for band 6 positions… no automatic progression.

@KateBurkeNHS @alisonleary1 Same for AHPs. I believe social workers can progress from newly qualified to level 1 then 2 without having to apply for another job
