A hike in the cost of NHS prescriptions in England has been called a “dark day” for patients ✍️: @ellapickover uk.news.yahoo.com/dark-day-presc…
Prescription charges in England will rise from £9.65 to £9.90 per item from tomorrow.

Lots of noise about the NHS Constitution. Just for clarity the NHS routinely, in fact daily, fails to meet existing principles in the constitution. It is a document so distant from the reality of busy medical wards that it's value is minimal:

On Monday, Rishi Sunak mentioned a seven year old girl who died last month trying to reach Britain from Northern France. This week I went to Calais for The Sunday Times to find out what happened to Rola Al Mayali. thetimes.co.uk/article/drowne…
@wesstreeting Dan Poulter told me there is no evidence between staffing in hospitals and patient safety (despite 1000+ peer reviewed papers suggesting there is). I would not recommend his advice in that respect. He was junior health minister at the time & could have influenced policy then

I’m an absolutely broken nurse tonight. I’m sick of being short staffed, over worked and abused by patients. I’m sick of having extra responsibility heaped on despite being so junior. I’m sick of crying before, during and/or after every shift.
If you want a weekend read and missed this on Friday, here’s a journey through the confusion and disappointment that has characterised nearly five years of levelling up funds: on.ft.com/4bfCmYs

NHS Employers started work on this joint project with NHS England a few months ago. With non-pay reforms and a better pay offer...could this form the basis of a pay deal worth putting to the vote for junior doctors?

This is nonsense and dangerous from the GMC.
The GMC’s argument that it is compelled to investigate and punish all doctors who have been found to break the law is fundamentally flawed. This case has absolutely no bearing on patient care, safety, public confidence nor trust - which should be the GMC’s sole consideration.

@ShaunLintern Paying employees accurately & on time is a legal requirement, not an improvement to our working lives. Same applies for not asking us to work or find cover for major life events, or providing us with a rota with a few weeks notice (hint: already in BMA contract!)
Wes Streeting's side eye here is going to be a great meme.
Uplifting and inspiring visit to ward D30 at City Hospital this morning. The team have a clear vision to rebrand our frailty service @MidlandMetUH. Tens of staff have done their frailty competencies. They can now be specialists in holistic care. #LeadershipMatters
@ShaunLintern @JoeHMK Bring it on. I'm aged 72 and use the NHS App on my iPhone/iPad to check test results, make appointments, and order medications on repeat prescription. Don't assume older people can't manage technology!
@ShaunLintern @JamesTitcombe It’s OK @ShaunLintern - apparently the leaders of the patient safety movement are all in Chile sorting it out as we speak. In my experience it is determined families, supported by ethical journalists and campaigners who have made the biggest difference.
The heavy lifting is immense and the weight to carry is for always. It never leaves you.
Intriguing questions. I wholeheartedly agree that when you look at what has actually changed and which systemic issues have been exposed, it's harmed patients and bereaved families who have done the heavy lifting. Often against the system
@amotherwithout Trying to influence national change from an experience of grief and loss is hard because of the additional emotional toll it take - perhaps we need to a support network?
@ShaunLintern I think they need to refocus on core purpose of preventing harm to patients. A misunderstanding about a laptop or strong beliefs on climate change are hardly a threat to those you are treating.
Such a piece to be proud of @ShaunLintern and we were so grateful for it as it lifted our campaign & made the Govt listen. There are so many more families out there wanting to tell their #Valproatecrisis story.

I left @OUHospitals (Oxford) in 2006 because it was £50M in the hole and had frozen recruitment. Plus ca change.

Thank you to @mjauk for inviting us to speak at the #MJASymposium this weekend. Special thanks to @ShaunLintern for superb hosting and excellent organisation from @Emmajourno & Sallie Robins. Fantastic to meet so many committed and tenacious journos and medics.
Whistleblowing assumptions. Interesting stuff from @WhistleUK based on their research with actual whistleblowers #mjasymposium
I suspect the ‘costs have risen, activity levels unchanged’ is less a drop in productivity, more staff doing less unpaid work. The bank of goodwill is empty.
If @GSTTnhs can't get control of an underlying £84m deficit it may need a loan from the NHS to cover costs. Info sent to staff below: 3/7
Yikes 🚨
🚨 ICYMI in yesterday's print Sunday Times - One of England's largest and high profile NHS trusts @GSTTnhs may need a bail out from @DHSCgovuk to cover day to day spending. It is part of a wider £4.5bn spending crisis sweeping the NHS 🧵 1/7
