Blog: UK nurse against climate change SKIP TO CONTENT
The blogger's introduction to their blog:
'So I have committed to writing a blog (there is a first time for everything!). My own private journey into a year, and hopefully much longer, of trying to raise awareness of climate change and its devastating effects on human health. And how we as nurses can help, both in our professional and private lives. I’m not an academic writer. Its not my strong point. But I’m passionate about what I do, I love nursing and I want to do something which will make a difference.'

Impact of migration on the consumption of education and children’s services and the consumption of health services, social care and social services
Aims
The main aims of the study were to estimate migrants? consumption of under-18 education, health and personal social services and the related costs and to assess the implications for UK immigration policy, particularly for the Points Based System (PBS). The study also aimed to identify the limitations to evaluating the impact and the potential for improving measurement. Given the interest in the PBS, the focus was non-EEA economic migrants (especially Tier 1 and 2 migrants2) and Tier 4 migrants (students). The aim was to provide both national and, where possible, sub-national estimates of impact.

Intergovernmental Organisations Committee - First Report
We were appointed in November 2007 as a new ad hoc Select Committee of the House of Lords to review the effectiveness with which intergovernmental organisations (IGOs) are operating in specific fields and how the UK is making use of its membership of those organisations to ensure that their objectives are being met. For our first inquiry we have examined how IGOs are tackling the global spread of infectious diseases.

Nurses on the move: implications of internal migration in the UK
Migration of healthcare professionals across and within national boundaries may benefit individual career progress but can result in certain regions and countries having insufficient resources to meet healthcare needs(1,2). Developing strategies to ensure a balanced distribution of staff requires information about patterns of migration but this is often inaccurate and lacks comparability across borders(1). Here we consider how regionally comparable data can inform nursing workforce planning in the UK; we draw on a Nursing Research Unit study of nurses’ movements between regions (3,4), and other research on the internal migration patterns of health professionals (5-9) and of the general population.
