Isabel Hardman Us working in mental health can echo the disjointed and sometimes harmful way the gvnt have made cuts. Seeing patients we know could respond and get better with small input at start and seeing them be denied and then presenting months (or years) later far worse is heartbreaking

I really regret going back to work repeatedly when I was too mentally ill to do so and then letting colleagues down, often in a very messy and last minute fashion. I was desperate to be well and back working effectively but funnily enough my recovery was not linear and I couldn’t…

Where to even start with this. With everything going on in the world Rishi Sunak has decided that what is really needed is to beat up on people with disabilities. Just when you think they've gone low they somehow go lower

Outrageous. I think anyone working in mental health can talk about the dramatic impact Covid had on peoples MH. From increased anxiety, addictions serious mental illness. EVERY aspect of MH care went up and to not even acknowledge it is unacceptable

John-Barry The RCN UNISON - UK's largest union What I don't get, we have a university degree in adult nursing, so if you don't pay for your pin it's worth nothing?? Your registration should be included in your degree cost, once your registered that should be it. It's old fashioned.

John-Barry The RCN UNISON - UK's largest union Don’t forget to reclaim the fee as tax relief if you don’t already! Also don’t forget to claim tax relief on cleaning uniform - it’s able to be done and whilst it isn’t much, it helps

I know I say this every year but just got my yearly reminder that I have to PAY to be a nurse. I know there has to be a register bit with all the cost of living isn't this something that could be looked at? That and maybe a decent pay rise?

John-Barry The RCN UNISON - UK's largest union I agree- when I qualified we were told it was a one off fee to register for life!
