Nurses are not heroes.
That was a dangerous narrative perpetuated by the government and media at the height of Covid. It prevents them from being seen as human with human needs. Now it’s being used by the same media and government to justify the horrendous working conditions and pressure they are being put under.
Nurses stay unpaid after every shift to help their patients and colleagues. That’s great! Nurses are heroes ❤️
Nurses working through their breaks to help their patients. That’s great! Nurses are heroes. ❤️
Nurses are dealing with unalive and traumatic situations every day. Nurses are heroes ❤️
Nurses get beaten and abused on shift by patients and relatives but it’s ‘part of the job’. Nurses are heroes ❤️
There is nothing heroic about a person not getting adequate rest between shifts. An exhausted nurse should not be looking after anybody other than themselves. They are human.
There’s nothing heroic about a person not being able to provide themselves with adequate nutrition or hydration. They are human.
There is nothing heroic about not receiving proper support or acknowledgment of the trauma they go through every day. Same with assistants and paramedics. They’re still human.
There is nothing heroic about being black and blue by a patient or stalked by a relative and having to see them the next day. Not being able to do anything about it because it’s seen as ‘part of the role’.
There is a massive difference between ‘knowing what you’re getting into’ as a newly qualified nurse and treating them with disrespect, running them into the ground and expecting them to be ok with not having their basic needs met for the needs of the general public.
The nurses wages do not reflect their working conditions or the trauma they experience and have to heal from. They are human and grieve for their patients too. They don’t reflect that this a vocation requiring a degree. That nurses don’t just ‘make beds’, they insert tubes down peoples throats to breathe for them, take chest drains out, keep people alive with complex concoctions of medications they’ve mixed. And so much more.
The NHS has relied on the generosity of its nurses and assistant staff for too long. That generosity is wearing out. What we are being put through isn’t worth our wages anymore.
Stop advertising nurses as heroes and force the public and parliament to see us as the humans we are.

OpenAI’s ChatGPT: A Promising AI Tool for Early Detection of Alzheimer’s Disease
Researchers at Drexel University’s School of Biomedical Engineering, Science, and Health Systems have found that ChatGPT, an AI-powered chatbot program, may be able to detect early signs of Alzheimer’s disease. In a study, the program analyzed conversations between individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and healthy controls and was able to accurately identify those with the disease with an accuracy rate of 80%. ChatGPT uses AI algorithms to generate responses similar to how a human would respond to user input and be able to detect differences in language patterns, such as difficulty finding the right words and repetitive language, in individuals with Alzheimer’s disease. While more research is needed, the study suggests that OpenAI’s GPT-3 could potentially be used as a non-invasive, cost-effective method for detecting Alzheimer’s disease in its early stages.

Scotland is to become the first country in the world to introduce a law to protect the right to free period products.
On Monday, when the Period Products Act comes into force, councils and education providers in Scotland will be legally required to ensure free sanitary products are available to anyone who needs them. (Sky News, Aug 15 2022)
The first of many! The way in which the Scottish government is going is really quite wonderful (especially compared to their southern neighbor…). Really hoping they have a strong showing for their next independence referendum.

The POPDx framework was created to effectively identify a wide variety of phenotypes among participants in the UK Biobank study. To provide a thorough analysis, it makes use of a wide variety of patient data, including demographic details, medical histories, lifestyle factors, and genetic information. The framework has been successfully tested on the UK Biobank dataset and outperforms other comparable methods in identifying a wide range of phenotypes, both common and rare. This ground-breaking platform has the potential to increase the precision of phenotype recognition significantly and can be used with other biobank records.
In order to advance precision medicine and enhance patient care outcomes, POPDx is positioned to emerge as a significant player in the field of patient phenotyping. The results offer useful direction for scientists, medical professionals, and patients.
