Holding down staff pay 'to protect the service' is no different from introducing a special NHS tax that's only paid by NHS employees. We do not have a unique responsibility to fund the healthcare system. It falls on everyone, and SHOULD fall fairly.

Pay rise above 2.4% would hit elective targets, DHSC warns

A pay award above 2.4 per cent for NHS staff next year could mean a "reduction in ambitions" for cutting waiting lists, the government has warned.

Spire Hospital sponsored what now
Hunt Saboteurs Association
@HuntSabsOct 20
🚨𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚: 𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗥𝗘 𝗛𝗢𝗦𝗣𝗜𝗧𝗔𝗟 𝗪𝗜𝗧𝗛𝗗𝗥𝗔𝗪𝗦 𝗦𝗣𝗢𝗡𝗦𝗢𝗥𝗦𝗛𝗜𝗣 𝗢𝗙 𝗤𝗨𝗢𝗥𝗡 𝗛𝗨𝗡𝗧 𝗘𝗩𝗘𝗡𝗧. Spire Nottingham Hospital has confirmed that it has withdrawn its sponsorship of the Quorn Hunt's Ingarsby Chase following serious allegations arising from drone footage filmed by @NhantsHuntsabs. In an email sent today, 20 October, the hospital stated: "𝗜𝗻 𝗹𝗶𝗴𝗵𝘁 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝘀𝗲 𝘀𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗼𝘂𝘀 𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗴𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝘀 𝗮𝗴𝗮𝗶𝗻𝘀𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁, 𝗦𝗽𝗶𝗿𝗲 𝗡𝗼𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴𝗵𝗮𝗺 𝗛𝗼𝘀𝗽𝗶𝘁𝗮𝗹 𝗵𝗮𝘀 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵𝗱𝗿𝗮𝘄𝗻 𝗶𝘁𝘀 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝘀𝗵𝗶𝗽 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗜𝗻𝗴𝗮𝗿𝘀𝗯𝘆 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝘀𝗲." This follows our exposé this morning showing Quorn Hunt staff repeatedly encouraging hounds to seize and tear at a fox, before pushing the body underneath hay bales after one of the terriermen spotted the drone. Whilst the withdrawal is welcome, 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗼𝗻 𝗘𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗵 𝘄𝗮𝘀 𝗮 𝗵𝗲𝗮𝗹𝘁𝗵𝗰𝗮𝗿𝗲 𝗽𝗿𝗼𝘃𝗶𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝘀𝗽𝗼𝗻𝘀𝗼𝗿𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗮𝗻 𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗻𝘁 𝗼𝗿𝗴𝗮𝗻𝗶𝘀𝗲𝗱 𝗯𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗤𝘂𝗼𝗿𝗻 𝗛𝘂𝗻𝘁 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗳𝗶𝗿𝘀𝘁 𝗽𝗹𝗮𝗰𝗲? The Quorn Hunt's history includes a 2022 conviction for illegal hunting involving one of its huntsmen. That information was already in the public domain and could have found out with a quick Google search. Watch the full exposé and read this morning's article here 👉huntsabs.org.uk/smokescreen-…

Updating the state recognition of Taiwan page on wikipedia to include Greater Lincolnshire
Dame Andrea Jenkyns DBE 🇬🇧
@andreajenkynsOct 19
This morning, I signed a landmark trade agreement with Tainan in Taiwan, strengthening ties between our regions and creating new opportunities for trade, investment and innovation. Greater Lincolnshire has a huge amount to offer, and this agreement is another step towards showing the world what we do best. 🇹🇼 🇬🇧
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
UK mayors cannot sign binding international trade agreements (reserved for central UK government); official descriptions refer to this as a non-binding MOU for local cooperation, not a landmark trade deal. greaterlincolnshire-cca.gov.uk/news/article/6… citp.ac.uk/publications/t…

Side rooms are a precious resource, needed for actual medical reasons. That should be non-disputable. Insisting transgender people are forced into them because of the endless culture war bullshit will harm trans and non-trans patients alike.

in case you didn't know a trans woman was denied care for cancer in the UK because they refused to put her on either sex segregated ward (mens or womans). she died because of this. 16 days without treatment and she died. this new guidance has killed and will kill trans people

Who could have predicted that the fantastical notions of the NHSE guidance would immediately crash headfirst into the reality of bed management. Absolutely wild to see so many people claiming that medical outliers 1) don't happen and 2) don't cause measurable harm if they do.
Vivian@MxVivianWulfOct 18
This is murder. This is a murder that was partaken in by the entire political establishment and the NHS. It is a murder of a person for no other reason than simply because she was trans. Nobody will go to jail. Nobody will suffer any consequences. But they all murdered Joelle.

This is a known and documented risk of long-term bed pressures. Those that need specialist nursing care that can only be administered in specific units are the most at risk. This is a foreseeable outcome of limiting the available bed pool for trans inpatients.

Mentioned this in a lecture the other week and the non-expert, mostly non-trans students took approximately three seconds to identify roughly one million logistical impossibilities this would cause if followed (which it can't be)

It's not actually the transphobia that disgusts me the most about this NHSE bullshit. It's the implication that nurses up until now have been unwilling or unable to protect the dignity and safety of *all* of our patients.

Another concern is that nurses (and others) who fail to implement these rules (because they are impossible) will be penalised and have examples made of them. It's another handy stick to beat those annoying fuckers who try to do the right thing with.

Singling out a trans person in a mixed sex unit is saying the quiet part louder than you're supposed to babes

@ToniaAntoniazziOct 15
I’m sorry you’ll resign but I was in a mixed sex emergency ward with my mother as she had no where to go and tbh I was more concerned about the trans person there because of how my mother would have reacted than for them.I stayed there to make sure all was ok. Think of everyone!

Trans people should use hospital spaces according to biological sex, NHS England says

New guidance says trans patients should be cared for on single-sex hospital wards or bays that align with their biological sex.
