@SCoRMembers Congratulations Karl, what a number of amazing achievements! I remember you being super kind and helpful when I was a baby first year radiographer on placement.

Radiographer Karl Nottage marks 30th anniversary with NHS: Mr Nottage has worked for 30 years at the North Devon District Hospital across 10 different job titles within the profession sor.org/news/people/uk…

Great idea! Can you give me a list of the beaches you haven’t covered in sewage?

Sajid Javid calls for an introduction of a £20 fee to see GP and a £66 charge for A&E visits If the Tories get their way this will be the end of the NHS as we know it If you'll fight this with us please reply with a 💙. #OurNHS

I cannot believe @BBCWorld published this headline in the year 2023. Staggering sexism.

grocery store chains: we set record profits this year retail chains: we've never made so much money energy companies: we just posted our best quarter on record news article: who is to blame for inflation? you peasants wanting wages, probably

For those who don't fully understand what is up with the NHS, here is a thread for you that might help. I'm a consultant physician working as a doctor in the NHS in Yorkshire and Wales for 32 years now. I have experienced the NHS at its best (2008) and its worst (2022).

Facts.

@Kilted_Sailor @AlexofBrown Obviously I don't. Do you support the threats and abuse the trans community receives on a daily basis?

@nsmith694 @AlexofBrown So you do support the threats and abuse she had received? Just want to be very clear on that particular point…

@Kilted_Sailor @AlexofBrown She's got an absolutely massive platform and she used it to direct harm at a minority that already experiences a horrendous amount of violence and discrimination.

@nsmith694 @AlexofBrown I’d like to think we could disagree civilly on the issue. What’s your view of the way Alexander describes Rowling above? Do you think that cools the temperature of debate? Do you support the abuse and threats she has received?

@Kilted_Sailor @AlexofBrown Sigh. Trans people aren't trying to take away anyone else's rights, they're fighting for their own!

@AlexofBrown and eternal shame on you for justifying - in your own petty way - the rancour, abuse and bitterness that has been focussed on Rowling from TRAs in the past years for the ‘crime’ of standing up for womens’ fundamental and intrinsic sex-based rights.

MAJOR ANNOUNCEMENT Netherfield Park Is Let at Last!

“The NHS is in a crisis, the nursing profession can’t take any more, our loved ones – your parents, children, friends and relatives – are the ones at stake here." On the eve of the first #RCNStrike, @patcullen9 sets out why this action is the only option. #FairPayForNursing

NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care. Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate. Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙

This is Goose and Raymond. Goose wanted to roll down a snowy hill but picked one that was too flat. Raymond is helping. 14/10 for both

New out of office reply

No-one WANTS to go on strike! Nurses, Teachers, Ambulance Crews, Rail Workers, Postal Workers, Border Force Officers, Baggage Handlers … they DON’T get paid when they’re on strike. Don’t fall for Tory tactics of turning workers against each other. ✌️

To put in context multi millionaire Nadhim Zahawi threatening nurses & ambulance paramedics with bringing in soldiers to break their strike, it’s worth remembering his expenses claim which included heating his horses’ stables was more than a nurse on starting pay is asking for.
