I'm very excited to share that I have officially signed a contract to write the book "Feminism in Nursing".
My hope is that this book contributes to our collective understanding of the issues that face our profession and a new perspective on the solutions required.

The Royal College of Nursing is having to use members' money to defend its decision to dismiss the man who made the below tweets. He is a nurse.
He seems to think this was not the right decision & hopes to be reinstated back in power as chair of council.

We expect them to move here, help fill our enormous staff vacancies, keep our loved ones safe...
But leave their kids without a mother or father?
Today in Parliament we have laid an order to ban overseas care workers from bringing dependants.

"Yes, but it will be 3-4 weeks"

I think it's important to understand the upset that comments like these generate for women. That's why we have such high standards of conduct in nursing - to maintain an important trust. It's not up to us to police how upsetting people find these words, but to maintain the trust.

The worst thing about being a mental health nurse is never the people, staff, pay or hours. It's the endless fight against systems that seem intent on making people homeless, poor & traumatised.

Nurses will continue to leave, patient care & safety will continue to suffer.
This is a real terms pay cut & nobody should vote in favour of that. Least of all an already undervalued & mostly female workforce.
Nurses are urged to vote in favour of a 5% pay rise for next year.
They will also get a one-off payment worth between £1,655 and £3,789 for this year.

A large number of women are survivors of sexual violence. It's good practice to ask women, therefore, about their preferences. A lot of research, including my own, highlights this as important.
As for men, I see no reason not to ask. But this is a false equivalence.

Nurses are people with private lives and a right to make decisions about their appearance.
This is less about professionalism and more about archaic notions of nurses as white, childless and virginal women of God.
The people who care for us are skilled professionals. Not nuns.
Do tattoos, piercings, or dyed hair make nurses less professional?
Some nurses have found it an issue at work, but many say compliments outweigh negative comments.
Find out more about the official uniform guidance and what is deemed ‘inappropriate’.

Female nurses have the highest suicide risk of any healthcare professional.
Nursing is a low resource, high demand profession with poor pay, conditions and respect.
Female nurses are also more likely to suffer domestic violence at home & sexual harassment at work.

A common question that people ask is why victims don't leave their abusers. There are many complex reasons, but self doubt is a common factor - is it really abuse? Am I actually the problematic one?

Nursing is not a vocation. It is a highly skilled graduate profession. It is a risk oriented & patient safety focused profession.
But because it is a majority female profession, nurses' skills are devalued & they're not paid fairly for these skills.
Hence 40,000+ vacancies.
Are nurses paid enough?

My daughter was choked & threatened by a boy at school for defending her trans friend when he was deliberately deadnamed.
Where there's transphobia, misogyny is always close by. Boys internalise the free pass to abuse as kids and weaponise it as adults.
Suella Braverman is now encouraging children to misgender their trans peers and undermining schools who wish to treat them with respect. Quite, quite wicked.

Nurses perform important roles, but...
This is comparing apples with oranges. A nursing degree makes a safe and competent nurse. A medical degree makes a safe and competent doctor. One is not superior - they are entirely different, hence doctors cannot replace nurses 🤷♀️
Other NHS professionals perform immensely important roles too, whether nurses, paramedics, healthcare assistants, radiographers, dieticians, porters, everyone.
But a medical degree is what ensures a doctor has the vast background knowledge necessary for their safe practice.

Gaslighting isn't limited to 1:1 interactions.

Nursing is a fantastic career, but it's not valued or paid fairly.
Nurses are the vast majority of Band 5s. Over 60% experience sexual harassment. Female nurse suicide rates are higher than any other HCP.
We don't need more routes into nursing. We need systemic change.
Latest UCAS data shows applications for nursing degrees has collapsed by 26% in two years.

NEW:
@theRCN
has called off next week's planned strike days as
@RishiSunak
has agreed to enter "formal and immediate talks" with the college.
After the significant offer in Scotland, I hope there will be a similar offer on the table for England's nurses.

My beautiful grandmother died this morning, my last surviving grandparent.
Her home was a 2nd home to me growing up. I spend most weekends there, called in after school... I was there when they announced the death of Diana & we stood & watched 9/11 unfold on the news together.

Are nurses going to be furious that doctors were given a better pay offer? No, of course not. Doctors should be paid fairly.
Are nurses going to be furious that the government value them less than doctors? Sure, why wouldn't they?

Really excited to share that I will soon begin developing a 4 nations programme of Gender Based Violence education for all UK healthcare staff with
@NHS_HealthEdEng

31 Band 5 nursing posts downgraded by
@sashnhs
to Band 4 nursing associates.
Disgraceful and blatant undervaluing of nursing and their critical role in patient safety.

The pay offer will now be imposed on
@theRCN
and other unions who voted to reject it.
Members of
@theRCN
must now vote in the next ballot for a national mandate - giving all NHS members in England the right to strike.
It is a pivotal moment for the future of nursing & the NHS.…
BREAKING:
Formal confirmation that a majority of unions (weighted by size) on the NHS Staff Council have voted to accept the pay deal

She is a fantastic video editor, artist, photographer & adventurer. She is also autistic & learning disabled.
