Water companies must be regulated better and policed to improve public health
Commenting on the Environment Agency report today (Wednesday) that record levels of raw sewage were pumped out into rivers and the sea last year, UNISON head of environment Donna Rowe-Merriman said:
“These sewage spillages are a major health risk and are causing untold damage to wildlife and the environment.
“Water companies are dumping waste at whim and sticking two fingers up to every public health law that’s ever existed. Their selfish actions risk turning the clock back to Victorian times.

Government ’ s approach to care visas allows dodgy employers to exploit migrant staff
Commenting on the publication of a report from David Neal, the previous inspector of borders and immigration, on the social licensing scheme for care worker visas, UNISON head of social care Gavin Edwards said:
“The government doesn’t understand social care. If ministers had even a basic grasp of the sector, they would have reformed it long ago. But instead, the inept approach to the awarding of care visas has given dodgy employers total freedom to exploit overseas staff at whim.
“Thankfully, many migrant care workers are becoming wise to poor treatment by some of the more unpleasant operators in the sector.
“Th...

NHS can ’t provide quality care until staffing crisis resolved, says UNISON
Responding to findings published today (Wednesday) by the National Centre for Social Research that public satisfaction with the NHS is the lowest level on record, UNISON head of health Helga Pile said:
“The NHS cannot provide the quality care people need until the staffing crisis is addressed. Patients are suffering because of government inaction.

I Applied to Be a NASA Astronaut. You Can Too
Recently, I applied to become an astronaut. I would like to be able to say that there is a non-zero chance I will be accepted, but sub-zero is more like it. Not a whole lot of people who can actually recall Sputnik—which, for the record, was launched on Oct. 4, 1957—quite make the age cut to climb on top of a rocket. Still, I filled out the nine-page form and sent it in, even if I have no doubt I’ll wind up in the cosmic slush pile.

You, however, may have more luck. NASA is hiring; on March 5 it opened its doors to a new class of 12 or so astronauts and wil...

How has virtual interviewing impacted residency matches?
Virtual interviews implemented in the U.S. due to the COVID-19 pandemic do not appear to have shifted the geographic distribution of interventional and diagnostic radiology residents, says a group at NYU Langone Health in New York City.
The finding had one exception -- the South -- but overall the study offers insights into changes that virtual interviewing has had on match statistics and may further inform recruiting efforts, noted medical student and lead author Younes Attlassy.
“Overall, the shift to virtual residency interviews did not significantly affect whether [interventional radiology] or [diagnostic radiology...
