Morning all! I’m in Liverpool for the next three days for the @unisontheunion health conference. I’ll be covering all the key motions relevant for nurses, including on pay, terms and conditions, safety, wellbeing and equalities. Keep an eye on @NursingTimes for my coverage.

CALLING PRIMARY CARE AND PUBLIC HEALTH NURSES! For the next Nursing Times magazine, I want to speak to any nurse who is currently working on tackling the issue of low childhood vaccination rates. GPNs doing outreach schemes, school nurses raising awareness, etc. DM/reply here!

Stuart Tuckwood, national nursing officer @unisontheunion, @UNISONOurNHS, described the findings as 'truly shocking'. He added: 'No one should be attacked at work, especially not when trying to treat people and save lives.'

@gemmamitchell92 @MEAssociation @cfs_jo @CarolanneWilso4 @maxwele2 Thank you for covering this topic in @NursingTimes .
