- Given nursing/the NHS is in crisis, and nurses keep the NHS running, it is short-sighted to be cutting high quality nursing courses at Nottingham University. If you want high quality care for you and your children in the future sign this petition. c.org/qzXwSs8XP5

- Reposted by Dr Rachael Drewery (RN/HV)*So* much research starts with difference-based questions and researchers' categories/assumptions - helping to feed or legitimise communication myths and stereotypes. But the evidence about what people say/do in actual non-lab non-post-hoc accounts of interaction shows something else entirely #EMCA

- Reposted by Dr Rachael Drewery (RN/HV)Listening to Rest is Politics, Rest is Politics US, and reading respected commentators, it's striking how 'left-wing bias' in universities is now taken for granted. That matters, especially in the US, where academia faces political attack. Thoughts from having worked in US/UK universities. 🧵

- Nursing degree programmes are critical to developing and maintaining high quality, evidence-based nursing practice. In 2025, it is just not acceptable to be proposing to cut nursing degree programmes (or many of the other degree programmes that are under threat)
