MiP BLOG Thu 01 Jun 2017
In the fourth of his election blogs, MiP chief executive Jon Restell calls on politicians to stop manager-bashing and invest in the professional skills the NHS needs to meet the daunting challenges ahead.
Managing in the NHS and social care has never been more demanding than it is now.

We’re building systems and developing relationships in ways that have never been tried before. And we’re doing all this on the back of a botched re-organisation that keeps getting in the way.

In the third of his election blogs, MiP chief executive Jon Restell calls on politicians to scrap the delusional NHS pay policy and offer a new deal to our hard-pressed workforce.
In this election campaign, it’s time for politicians to stop hiding behind platitudes about the NHS workforce and look the facts full in the face. Staff shortages are a serious problem and they’re getting worse. There are unacceptable levels of vacancies in many areas – among midwives, A&E consultants, GPs, mental health nurses, and executive directors, to name but a few. And the uncertainty hanging over colleagues from other EU countries simply adds to the problem.

MiP BLOG Thu 18 May 2017
In the second of his election blogs, MiP chief executive Jon Restell calls on politicians to work with staff to switch NHS resources to where they’re most needed – and to be open and honest with voters about what that means.
My first blog urged politicians to fund the NHS properly. This blog is about how we achieve meaningful change in the NHS and social care. A key question for all parties in this election is, “if you had more money, would you still spend it in the same way?”
