Almost half of Healthcare Assistants believe they are poorly or very poorly valued and two thirds of them have thought about leaving the NHS according to a survey published today. It comes from the largest public sector union, UNISON which is calling for “just a little respect” for the work of HCAs in caring for patients.
The study reveals that eight out of ten of the workers want regulation of their role so standards can be set and patient care outcomes improved. 

A charity has highlighted what it claims is a shortage of skilled workers to treat the one in ten children in England and Wales who have severe mental health problems. In its response to the Government’s independent review of mental health services for children and young people, Young Minds, brands services as “inadequate”, especially for children with learning difficulties and for older teenagers.
