  • Spiritual support for those dying from Covid19
    We hear the sad stories of people whose loved ones died alone in hospital due to the strict policy which prevents visitors, family members or friends to be with the sick person. We also hear that nurses are doing their best to stay with someone who is dying but they also have to respond to other calls for care. We also know, both anecdotally but from research evidence, that very ill people and those dying find comfort from a prayer, or just the presence of someone who can hold their hand and be with them as they take their last breaths. This is a regular compassionate practice in hospices and they, as well as all hospitals have links with spiritual leaders whom they call upon as needed. In the current unprecedented times, we need to harness the spiritual resources we have and organise them in order to be an essential part of all healthcare teams and to be present, in their PPE, at all times. This compassionate approach to so many deaths will provide comfort not only to patients but to their loved ones and the health workers.

  • Heroes Day
    Our country should never ever forget the work done, long hours and dedication shown. It would be an annual reminder to ensure these people are never again considered as low skilled individuals from a wide range of original countries of origin.

  • Write off student loans for medical staff
    Many earn less than £40000 and are facing unbelievably hard conditions at work as well as risking their lives. It’s the least we can do to write off the debt they accrued from studying to care for us.

  • Bank you Nurses and Doctors!
    To say "Thank You" in a tangible way, for giving so much when we needed them to step-up during the Coronavirus Covid19 pandemic. Completing over two-thousand hours of hand-on, direct clinical practice over three years – is it fair to ask them to accumulate debt? With a starting salary of £24,214, this is a debt the majority of nurses will never pay off. Please sign to petition to get their DEBT WIPED OFF!

  • A voice for prisoners & families
    The government ordered lockdown on the 24th March 2020 to stem the outbreak of Covid-19. Since then, the impact on prisoners and their families has become a cause for concern. Government guidance on social distancing, self isolating and other hygiene procedures is being applied to prisons [1]. But there is opportunity for a virus to enter into a prison and for it to also re-enter into the public. This could result in prisoners and prison staff becoming ill, which means the care of duty may be compromised. Once Covid-19 enters a prison it may spread due to the dense conditions inside the prisons [2] - it is more challenging to apply social distancing measures in confined spaces, like prisons. Covid-19 may be more difficult to control in prison environments. It’s important that prisoners receive support with government guidance, such as, on the symptoms of the virus, so they know when they need to contact medical staff. Many prisoners, like the wider population, have health conditions putting them in to the vulnerable category. Medical staff are stretched at the best of times and mental health of both staff and prisoners may suffer. Since the recent lock down all prison visits have been suspended. While completely necessary, this means the only way prisoners can have contact with the ones they love are on the phone or through letters. Provisions have not been put in place to keep family connections, for example, extra phones but as yet, nothing has happened. There are many campaigns about releasing unconvicted prisoners on remand to help reduce the dense populations in prisons. I agree with these campaigners as my loved one is one of them. These men and women are, as the law states, “Innocent until proven guilty”. The media is filled with concern, closing schools, cancelling sporting events etc. but little has been said about the most vulnerable sectors of our population, the people in our prisons. These men and women are forgotten about. When will someone see the importance for prisoners to be able to keep up with family bonds. Prisoners aren’t just a number on a spread sheet or a figure of statistic, they are human beings just like you and I .

  • Whistl keyworkers to be paid 50%more
    Good question.. "why is this important?" Is important because we are human beings as well, we all have family to which are coming home and like this we put them at risk as well, we have friends that we can't visit to not put them as well in danger / all keyworkers are important now because they are supporting the economy and all the needs of the people.
