Right sorry but I don't understand why some people, even people that seem otherwise reasonable, seem to have absolutely internalised corporate capitalism talk to the extent that it completely subsumes their own personality and (class) interests???

At work today we had what's supposed to be an evaluation where as a department we, about 40 people, talked about things that have been difficult this year and what we'd hope will improve next year.

So I talked about how this year I have worked a lot of cover, including for managers (2 pay bands above me) and for multiple colleagues at once who have been off, essentially doubling and at some times even tripling my workload - for extra stress and no extra money. I said (using corporate language to hint) that I wasn't always good at asking for help, meaning, undertone, none of you offered to help me out and just expected me to sit and take it because I need my existing salary.

So this was in small groups, in which the focus was firstly giving feedback, and secondly remembering to praise each other for our achievements.

Well the nominated speaker for our group comes on and immediately my story of struggling to do a large amount of extra tasks that are essentially literally taking advantage of someone in a position of little power, actively causing stress to myself at work, for no extra money or any kind of reward but 'helping out the team' is told to the group as "sometimes we had to take on extra responsibilities but that was good because it let us learn about our inner strength and learn more about the business, increasing our skills for the future".

Excuse me! That was not AT ALL what I was talking about!

I already work a valuable job in healthcare. I ALREADY have skills - HENCE I was able to cover for senior team members and keep everything running and going literally at the cost of my social life, mental and physical health. And you aren't even going to say thanks or well done?! In the meeting where that is meant to be the focus?? In fact you're actually going to remove my agency and reframe the story of my own struggle and sacrifice to help out that I told you into some kind of heartwarming Disney ending where the servant felt that the work was its own reward?!

No sorry, get to fuck with that.

Ironically as a result of the teambuilding, feedback, evaluation and celebrating success meeting, I've come out feeling absolutely disheartened. They were like robots. I wasn't the only one that's made sacrifices like this this year, but I was the only one who didn't try and reframe it into a positive, with a neat learning experience and lesson for the group at the end of it.

This is the same workplace that asked us what we would like to add to the workplace to improve our own wellbeing (I reiterate, working in a stressful healthcare provider) and then shot down everything we suggested, even those things that wouldn't involve paying us more or giving us more time off. We were told that we could work longer hours in order to be able to 'earn' a team 'lunch out' during the work day (that of course we would also pay for), or that we could do a 'wellbeing walk' while also having a meeting, so... not exactly an opportunity to de-stress during the work day!

Honestly, I don't understand why these people don't pick up that they are becoming the architects of their own misery, constructing cages of their own making around themselves - and me! We don't have to play the game and turn everything into a positive. That isn't good for mental health OR morale overall either - it's just, ironically for the health background, putting a sticking plaster over a bigger wound. We need to grow up and actually address the issues we have as adults otherwise experienced and valuable staff are just going to end up burning out - which then increases the workload on everyone else and risks bringing the whole system back to square 1.

I'll support any and all NHS strikes going to be honest.

The public will turn on us because they always fucking do. But enough is enough.

Any way you look at it, I might as well get paid properly now, because the NHS isn't going to be around to pay my pension.

I always forget that monarchists exist and then I see someone with the username duchessofmyheartforever or williamisababe posting about how it's mean to giggle at an ultrarich economic leech experiencing just a fraction of struggle and inconvenience (because lets be honest, he probably wont kick the bucket—his doctors are paid to keep his corpse animated long after it ceases to be humane)

#iv.txt #uk politics #ntm crying to tumblr staff about it like bestie they do not fucking care #blah blah 'its not funny to joke about cancer what if it was your family member' #like literally everyone is affected by cancer either their own or a loved ones #i dont have to imagine ive already lost two family members #i promise you. we are not joking about cancer. we are joking about the parasite in chief using our tax money #to pay for private top class healthcare while his subjects #the taxpayers that fund his lifestyle #die of the same thing due to nhs strikes because instead of paying doctors humane wages their money goes to maintaining an archaic #and outdated #system that only serves to uphold a status quo long outgrown #but sure. complain to tumblr staff #its not a laughter of glee its a cold and mirthless 'ha' #see how at the end of the day even you are mortal. how does it feel to fear for your life? how does it feel to know hundreds of thousands #of your citizens live fearing for their lives every day because of the economic crisis you and your government have created

If you're a UK citizen, please sign. (You cannot sign unless you are a UK citizen). We shouldn't be punished for falling in love with someone from another country. And certainly shouldn't have to earn above the average UK wage.

[ID: Text that reads: Don’t increase the income requirement for family visas to £38,700. Currently the financial requirements to bring your spouse to the UK is £18,600 per year and now the Government wants to more than double it. Most people in the UK don’t make that per year. We believe this policy punishes those who fall in love with someone with a different nationality. 59,809 signatures out of 100,000.]

#not my usual sort of post but as someone whos partner lives in another country... #i dont like the idea of us losing our future if i can't earn above the uk average wage #and even if this didnt apply to me it isnt fair on anyone else #theyre bullshitting that this is somehow gonna help the nhs? i guess cos they think they'll be less patients? #jokes on them when they find out a lot of nhs doctors and nurses and workers moved here from- #-other countries so if this goes through they'll be less patients but also less staff so nothing would change anyway #the government just want any excuse to stop letting people into the uk because they're always scapegoating and demonising immigrants #the vampire vents

it is getting so ridiculously hard to access doctor’s appointments. the booking line for my doc’s office opens at 8:30am so i call at exactly 8:30 only for my call to be rejected because they are already taking a call. they don’t even put me into a queue, the phone just forcibly cancels the call. the system at my local doctors is for patients to call over and over at the designated time slot until a staff member becomes available to pick up the phone. they don’t have a better system than that. for me this took about 25 redials over 15 minutes (not all my call attempts even fit in my screenshot). THEN i am finally placed on hold in a queue. they can’t tell you how many people are in the queue, they can only tell you it’s ‘more than 5’. i wait in the queue for 10 minutes, and when i finally get to talk to a person she says that all appointments are booked, and i cannot book an appointment for a future date. the only way to get an appointment is to call back the next time the line opens up again. so i will be doing this again soon

#I have been INSTRUCTED to call this many times #please tell me im not the only one who thinks this is inaccessible and a terrible stress on people who are already ill? #maybe if the nhs could pay its staff a living wage we wouldn’t be in this situation #half the issue is staffing #there’s no shortage of healthcare workers who WANT to help or who WANT jobs #txt #negative #healthcare #health #medical.

This patient-centered approach fosters a stronger pharmacist-patient relationship and enhances the quality of care received.

Collaboration and Integrated Care :

The CPCS promotes collaboration between community pharmacists and other healthcare providers, fostering a more integrated approach to patient care.

Happy NHS day!! Don't forget to support all striking workers, and if you are a worker please remember to look after yourself, I know it's hard and your workload is probably only increasing but you as a person are more important than your work

#shoutout to walk-in centre workers specifically #also if you're a gp that sends all of your patients to walk in centres fuck you man #(as in like sending them there because you're not bothered not as in sending them because the staff there could help more than you) #kitty screams #nhs

six months been waiting for a proper mental health assessment - six months of reiterating with them that it can't be a cis man who does the assessing, and being reassured every time that it's says this in the notes and that it'll be a woman (because we know for damn sure they have no nonbinary psychiatrists around here)

finally last week they sent an appointment for 22.12 - today a text message says it's going to be some bloke ffs - emailed them for urgent clarification of this, and to reiterate the desperate need for it not to be a cis man - probably means it'll get cancelled and an even longer wait

unfuckingbelievable

Matt Hancock has probably got more safety equipment in that jungle than the NHS ever had through Covid.

The irony being that despite all the creepy crawlies and living in the jungle, he’ll still be less scared than I was delivering meds to the covid wards in 2020.
