Our nurses have always been there for us. They have never let us down. We clapped for them and called them heroes. NOW THEY NEED US. Lets stand shoulder to shoulder with them and help them win the fair pay rise we all know they deserve. Will you stand too? #IStandWithNurses ❤️✊

The NHS pay award shows that despite the soaring #CostOfLiving & chronic shortage of nursing staff, ministers are refusing to listen. Join us tonight to talk about urgent action members will take and be balloted on in the fight for #FairPayForNursing. bit.ly/3OkIxyv

Good Evening from a very tired PDN team after day 3 of our pilot induction for HCAs. Today we have covered general HCA duties such as bed-making and recording observations and had some great sessions with guest speakers such as our fab Falls Nurse @MEHT_StanSays @MSEHospitals

The so called 3% "pay rise" for NHS staff will be wiped out by the National Insurance rise. Ironically to pay for the underfunded NHS & Social Care. What a disgrace. Pay NHS staff the 15% they deserve. Tax the wealthy NOT the poor. #NHSPay15 #WealthTax
