Nursing Institute praises Island's ethos
Nurses in the Isle of Man are valued more highly than their UK counterparts, according to an industry body.
The Queen's Nursing Institute spent last week meeting staff and patients here, where it praised the level of 'passion and community spirit' evident in the Manx system.
It comes a week after unions confirmed a 2.5% pay rise for Island nurses, pending ministers' approval.
The Institute's Chief Executive, Dr Crystal Oldman, says that's good news:
Storm Dave to bring severe gales
Gusts up to 75mph expected on Saturday
Manx Care 'attempting to establish contact' with dental provider as patients face uncertainty
Smile Dental Care 'not currently providing services'
'Significant dredging works' in Douglas Harbour
Talks taking place over mitigation measures as sailing schedule disrupted
'Operational reasons' and tidal restrictions delay Heysham sailing schedule
Manxman's crossings held up overnight and throughout Good Friday
