Amend the Road Vehicle Lighting Regulations 1989 to allow National Midwifery Council and Heath and Care Professions Council registered healthcare professionals and Community First Responders dispatched on behalf of state ambulance services to use green beacons in addition to GMC registered doctors.
The Road Vehicle Lighting Regs 1989 permit the display of green beacons by GMC registered doctors.
Green beacons do not give exemptions to traffic rules but they can ease passage through other road users giving way.
NMC and HCPC registered healthcare professionals also work on call and we think this could improve the efficiency of attending to these duties.
We think CFRs dispatched to emergencies on behalf of state ambulance services would benefit from improved response times without the risks of blue lights.

The Government should require the NHS to deny free healthcare to anyone that’s been found to smoke or vape, as we believe this will allow for cost savings across the NHS. We think that anyone who needs care should then be charged, which could potentially make the NHS money.
We think this would lead to a financial gain for the NHS and could be a method of getting people to quit or a method to stop them even thinking about smoking or vaping in the first place. We feel that smoking and vaping costs the NHS large amounts of money for something that is preventable, and this would make for a great reason to never start / to stop. Additionally, we think this could help in pulling the NHS out of a financial crisis.

The current system that ties care workers to a single employer is exposing many to potential abuses and exploitation, including low wages, insufficient break times, and poor working conditions. On top of that, there is the stress of long commutes due to the scarcity of visa-sponsoring employers.
Our job in healthcare is already demanding, with long work hours and low pay. Being bound to one visa-sponsoring employer worsens the situation. The right to work is enshrined in Article 23 of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which includes the right to free choice of employment. No one should be tied to an employer, particularly when their rights are jeopardised and their well-being is at risk. We urgently need a change in policy to protect care workers rights and dignity at work.

Increase funding to help reduce transgender healthcare waiting times to 18 weeks. Fund training for GPs in identifying and diagnosing gender dysphoria, prescribing hormone replacement therapy and monitoring bloodwork.
Transgender healthcare is currently available on the NHS through Gender Clinics with an average wait time of 18 months. The highest average waiting times are in the South West, at 7.5 years, which is 21.7 times longer than the 18 week target for elective care. We think this is completely unacceptable. For many trans people, access to this treatment is absolutely critical, and we believe having such long waiting times, is by definition, systemic discrimination.

I want the government to hold a review into how to close the gender health gap, and prioritise women’s health and wellbeing more both in workplace & personal life. This should consider how women suffering from endometriosis & other conditions affecting women should be given help, support & education
We think there is a lack of support and urgency from doctors to help women with issues such as periods and endometriosis. Women can face long waiting lists. Waiting is not only hard for the symptoms but the weight on your mental health is alot! We think this review should consider whether there needs to be more funding and more help, so women can be seen quicker & to help understand why our bodies do what they do. Women deserve to be heard!

I would like the government to introduce the option for those people who are working to take out private healthcare cover. The charges they pay will be deducted from their national insurance contributions once it has been calculated.
I believe it will save the NHS. People are waiting longer to see a GP/specialist or have diagnostic tests, resulting in delayed treatment. This results in them being more likely to have to access emergency care because they have become acutely unwell. An easily treated illness or disease can become more complex due to late diagnosis and treatment resulting in higher costs to the NHS. I believe that more people accessing private healthcare will reduce the pressure on the NHS waiting times, A+E admissions and inpatient ward stay.

Healthcare workers are meant to have lived in the UK for at least 5 years before they can apply for ILR. With the work they do and the demand for their skills world wide, they deserve to get residency status much quicker. Most healthcare workers are working under extreme pressure in the UK.
Many countries offer immediate residency status for occupations that are in high demand or extremely short. The UK has been a destination for most foreign nurses and doctors, it is time for the Government to show they care and also appreciate the workers by making some of the restrictions in terms of residency more favourable. This could also reduce the number of care workers leaving the country for other countries that offer better conditions.

Replace emergency procedures in the Public Health Act 1984 (including the section 45R, the urgency procedure that allows a single minister to implement emergency legislation), with revised legislation that requires an impact assessment and approval by MPs before legislation comes into effect.
