Hang on. I thought 50k more nurses were @BorisJohnson’s top priority?

Well, his pledge to reinstate the nursing bursary just unravelled.

A token bursary, sure. But student nurses will still have to pay uni tuition fees.

This is stunningly deceitful.
thetimes.co.uk/article/nursin…
This matters because patients matter. Applicants to nursing degrees fell by 20% when the Tories axed the bursary. And we’re short of 43k nurses.

But the bursary *included* paid tuition fees.

Now it doesn’t.

Why isn’t Johnson being held to account for this electoral dishonesty?

This October, NHS CEO Simon Stevens & NHS Chair Lord Prior secretly met with Microsoft, Google & other tech giants to discuss selling access to cradle-to-grave NHS patient data.

Total secrecy. Total lack of transparency. And we’re expected to trust this?

From today’s Times:
The govt couldn’t even ensure the privacy of 1000 New Year honours recipients. Imagine your entire NHS patient record being sold, with anonymity ‘assured’ by Boris Johnson.

💥Doctors💥 This GMC advice may be v relevant to you this winter:

Juniors, no matter how worried you feel, *please* document & escalate your concerns.

Seniors, please support & back your juniors in doing so.

CEOs, please lead from the top on this.

#BawaGarba #WinterCrisis
“Escalating & documenting concerns” - @gmcuk advice for dealing with unsafe, understaffed, crisis conditions - applies to CEOs as much as FY1s. If medicine’s leaders do not speak out - loud & clear - on impossibly overstretched conditions - what message does that send juniors?
Politicians may seek to bury bad headlines. But we in the NHS - doctors, nurses, managers, CEOs, medical directors - are there for our patients. Speaking out *has* to come from the top down. Really leadership means setting an example to frontline staff. Public candour. Please.

Some key points on party commitments on #healthcare #highereducation as indicated in their manifestos.
First, a reminder of @councilofdeans asks:
Growing #nursing workforce is central to @Conservatives :
Aside from the commitment to 50,000 more nurses that has been heavily commented on, plans include:
1. £5-8k annual maintenance grants for students
2. 14,000 new undergraduate nursing students
Still @Conservatives
3. 5,000 new nursing degree apprenticeships
4. 7,500 extra nursing associates
5. Increase NHS funding by 29% by 2023
6. No reduction of tuition fees but focus on interest rates to reduce burden on students

Many of the #youthvote kids that I've talked to are primarily concerned with 3 things, Trump, Climate Change & Gun Control. Don't tell me they aren't voting this year. My impression is that they sure are! #ElectionDay #Vote #TuesdayThoughts

2/"Young people historically vote at lower rates, typically, than other age groups, and that has been especially true of the midterms. But this year, registration for younger voters is up substantially, with some studies anticipating the highest youth turnout in decades.
3/"We wanted to know what issues are motivating young people at such impressive rates this year, so we asked. In just a few days we had more than 800 passionate, sharp and often surprising responses. The respondents frequently mentioned climate change, no matter their party

Folks are lining up for the latest antitrust trial that kicks off this morning over @NCAA rules governing how much student athletes get paid. Stay tuned for live tweets.
Opening arguments should start within the hour. ITMT check out @ZachZagger’s great recap of what’s at stake. law360.com/articles/10743…
The judge is in the courtroom. She says she read each side's opening statements, which were submitted in writing. Just a recap - this is a 10-day bench trial and each side has 22 hours and 30 minutes to argue their case. bit.ly/2LvIeB7
