Have you always wanted to be able to take your ICU patients outside into the fresh air but have no space available? I need you… Tell me all about it so I can build the evidence for fresh air spaces for all 💪❤️ Thanks #Rehablegends app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/plymouth/a-u…

So in 24 hours- 35 responses from ICUs across the UK about their provision for fresh air spaces! Amazing! However there are 242 ICUs in the UK…. You can see what my target is now. I want you even if you don’t have a garden! Tell me what you want! app.onlinesurveys.jisc.ac.uk/s/plymouth/a-u…

We condemn the appalling, racist violence witnessed over the last few days. Critical Care Nurses, irrespective of their race or country of origin, are essential to the delivery of quality critical care to our NHS patients and are valued colleagues. You have our full support.

There are no critical care beds without critical care nurses #SOA24 @ICS_updates closing plenary.

“Nurses are not a support act”. Without ICU nurses there aren’t any ICU beds. We are a safety critical profession. We need to step up and have a voice. Such important words from @sisterswan at #SOA24 closing plenary

Very welcomed published document on Critical Care Nursing Workforce Optimisation! Please share! @MidlandsCCTNB

@nohandsup @BACCNUK @theRCN @ICS_updates @CC_3N @PICSociety @NOrF_CCO_RRS @RCNccfn Yes they are non statutory but will be included in the next version of GPICS.

@UKCCNA @BACCNUK @theRCN @ICS_updates @CC_3N @PICSociety @NOrF_CCO_RRS @RCNccfn I take it these are non-statutory recommendations? This diagram suggests that 'Enhanced' RN's with Step 3 competencies and a postgraduate 60 credit point award should be remunerated at Band 6?
