ALT Happy World Pharmacists Day! A pharmacist is giving advice to a patient about medication
ALT Joe has given nearly two decades of service to the Co-operative Party and the wider co-operative movement. We are immensely proud that he will now serve alongside our first Co-operative Prime Minister as General Secretary of our sister party. Under Joe’s leadership, the Co-operative Party has reached new highs in membership, influence and electoral representation. Throughout, he has brought the very best of our movement’s values and principles to everything he has done. He will be immensely missed by our team, but we are delighted that his next chapter will keep him at the heart of our shared movement. As we approach the centenary of our two parties' historic partnership, we look forward to continuing to work closely together in his new role.
ALT Our thoughts today remain with the families affected by Lucy Letby’s horrendous crimes. They have experienced unimaginable loss and harm, and on behalf of the NHS, I want to reiterate our profound apologies for how badly the service repeatedly failed them, and for the clear failures by NHS England in not sufficiently challenging the Trust's assurances and delays to its investigations. Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England
ALT While greater safeguards are now in place – including enhanced monitoring of neonatal mortality and medical examiners providing independent scrutiny of deaths – and the NHS has established a new code of practice and additional checks to hold executive and board leaders to the highest standards, Lady Thirlwall’s findings make clear we have a lot still to do. Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England
ALT This is a hugely significant day in ensuring the NHS accepts and corrects its operational and cultural failings in this devastating case, and the service will now work with Government to carefully consider Lady Thirlwall’s findings and recommendations in full and to respond with clear action. Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England
ALT Today’s findings may also be upsetting for women, parents and families using our services, so please come forward if you if you need support or have any questions – your healthcare team is there to listen and support you through any worries you may have. Duncan Burton, Chief Nursing Officer for England
