Whilst this is great news for our lowest paid workers in the UK. How will the #NHS attract and retain staff when they will earn just one penny an hour more than they would working in other sectors?

In health & care, we often focus on a narrow concept of improving "staff experience", when we could be building a much deeper & more profound basis of human connection at work: a sense of belonging. Belonging is when an employee, regardless of their background or role, knows that their voice matters, that their unique experiences enrich the team & that they're not just seen, but understood. Organisations that build a sense of belonging have higher levels of engagement, retention & performance: linkedin.com/pulse/belonging… By @hacking_hr

Marking #AHPsDay2023 with immense gratitude as an AHP leader. Today i'm reflecting on the incredible impact AHPs have each and every day as part of the Multidisciplinary team. Your expertise and dedication are an inspiration to us all. Thank you for making a difference. 👏👏

On #AHPsDay2023 I just want to thank all of my fabulous AHP colleagues @BelfastTrust for the amazing work they do every day @shannaragh @seanoconaire
It’s disgraceful that our politicians have allowed this to happen. The pay difference with the rest of the UK has widened and AHP training places have reduced - we simply can’t compete for new staff and can’t provide the care the population of N.Ireland needs….
It’s impossible to recruit & retain staff in NI Trusts when there is such a significant pay difference. Many AHP’s are going across the water to work when we should be keeping them. That on top of the reduced annual intake is causing real problems for future AHP care. @warner_md
Thanks to the brilliant @thecsp members at the Royal Victoria for such a great turnout.
The hardest decision to strike but they made sure their voices were heard.
Thanks also to Graham and Julie for stepping up and speaking to the media!
