ywheeler+FollowOlder Drivers Might Face Eye Tests SoonWord is, the UK might start making older drivers take compulsory eye exams to keep their licenses. After some tragic accidents linked to poor eyesight, officials are rethinking the rules—right now, drivers just self-report health issues (and, let’s be real, not everyone does). The Transport Secretary says she’s open to the idea, and a new road safety strategy is dropping later this year. Would this make you feel safer on the roads? #RoadSafety #UKNews #Driving #SeniorDrivers #Eyesight #Transportation213Share
Michael Smith+FollowOlder Drivers Might Face Eye Tests SoonBig news for anyone with older drivers in the family: the UK is considering making eye tests mandatory for seniors to keep their licences. This comes after some tragic accidents linked to poor eyesight behind the wheel. Apparently, the current system relies on drivers to self-report vision issues, but not everyone does. The government’s looking at tightening things up—details coming later this year. Would you trust your gran to self-report her eyesight? #RoadSafety #UKNews #SeniorDrivers #EyeTest #DrivingLaws #Transportation393Share
Dana David+FollowNHS Staffing Crisis Hits Breaking PointJust read that nearly 70% of NHS shifts are running understaffed, especially in maternity and elderly care wards. Staff are sounding the alarm about patient safety, with over half of shifts seeing serious safety risks—think long waits for pain relief and missed care. Even worse, most workers who report these issues say nothing gets done. This feels like a huge wake-up call for the NHS to step up before things get even scarier. #NHSCrisis #PatientSafety #Healthcare #Nursing #UKNews #Health116Share
