Chat Details
Hosted by WeNurses using #WeNurses
It seems that nursing, nurses and healthcare are always in the news - this is a new type of #WeNurses discussions that delves a little deeper into the headlines and gives you the opportunity to share what you think.
A recent Guardian article (2018) outlined some interesting research around the "rise in early deaths from accidents, suicide, alcohol misuse, smoking, cancer and drug addiction in the north of England, deepening the north-south divide" The full article can be found HERE but the main points are:
- Northerners aged 25 - 44 years old are 47% more likely to die from cardiovascular complications, 109% from alcohol misuse and 60% from drug misuse.
- Between 2014 and 2016, 3,530 more men and 1,881 more women aged between 25 and 44 died in the north than in the south
- Fatal traffic accidents are more common in the north than the south
- Suicide among men, especially at ages 30-34, is significantly more common in the north than the south
This #WeNurses discussion aims to explore some of the following questions:
- What are your thoughts on the new around the north / south divide and that there is a rise in early deaths in the north?
- Is this news backed up by evidence and research?
- What implications does this have for nursing?
- What can be done to reduce the north / south divide?

@WeNurses Depends on the area of need. For example, suicide rates in men are very high so in turn we could promote early intervention or researching other ways of treatment that we may not be aware about? #wenurses |

Q4 The research mentions alcohol & the disparity in mortality between north & south stating it contributes "to a large proportion of accidental injuries ...not only through traffic & cycling accidents, but also accidental falls" .. what implications does this have? #WeNurses https://t.co/uWEqBQh93l |

My initial thought on that part is that it seems like generalised media scaremongering. It’s too vague a statement without full context. Too much generalisation. Eg that will be the case in a “party town” like Manchester/Newcastle but not so much in rural Devon. #WeNurses https://twitter.com/wenurses/status/1068242213027659776 |

The research doesn’t say that. The journalist writing the article says that. It’s media buzz words. That said, it alerts the reader that politically focus on health should move from cure to prevention #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1068243708515151872 |

Final thoughts: it’s not just a north/south divide, but a rich/poor, old/young, male/female, poorly educated/highly educated etc etc divide. One article, or one study doesn’t provide enough evidence. I want more! ?? #WeNurses https://twitter.com/WeNurses/status/1068245975389663234 |
