Critical Care champions have chosen to release a statement that helps to highlight social justice. This is especially interesting to know if you work in a nurse agency, a nursing recruitment agency or even if you know some carers who are seeking care jobs. BACCN have said that they want to try and extinguish any bias while also eliminating stereotypes. The statement has been put out there in collaboration with a lot of other nursing staff who want to try and ensure diversity, equality and even inclusion with their role. They want to try and advocate for those who need it and they also want to try and create a fair environment where possible. It has been explained that the idea of social justice embraces a lot of key elements and that this needs to be prioritised when it comes to nursing. Fairness should be upheld for everyone and this happens to include staff who work in roles such as critical care. BACCN have said that they are a somewhat inclusive organisation and that they do understand the challenges that exist. The organisation have explained that it is their vision to try and advocate for things such as social justice and that they intend to do this by eliminating the bias that is present right now. They want to try and take a somewhat collaborative approach and they want to work with members of the BACCN too.
Only time will tell what the future holds but at the end of the day it seems like more has to be done to give support to those who truly need it. This movement is positive but it looks like the NHS is on its knees and that people are not getting the mental health support they need.
