My statement โ€˜ John Dwyer's comments were disgraceful and his apology does not change the fact that he thought it appropriate to comment on the clothing of young girls and blame female victims of abuse and trauma. 1/2

A very sad day for nursing ๐Ÿ˜ข The biggest mistake the RCN made was when they sold us out to government by recommending we accept the paydeal initially. This sent a mixed message to its members & the government and weakened the RCNS credibility. @theRCN news.sky.com/story/nurses-stโ€ฆ

Nurses' strikes over in England as union fails to meet threshold ๐Ÿคฌ 'While a majority of nurses taking part in the ballot backed strike action, just 43 per cent of members took part - short of the 50 per cent participation required' @theRCN telegraph.co.uk/news/2023/06โ€ฆ

โ€œExhaustedโ€, โ€œburnt outโ€ and โ€œinsultedโ€ are the themes I am hearing from #nurses but make no mistake, our resolve is unbroken for quality patient care. Fair pay = safe staffing, there was money for crony contracts - there should be money to ensure nurses can afford to nurse.

Replying to @UTVNews
We CAN NOT be left behind again. Pay disparity sounds imminent listening to DOH officials. Nursing staff and all health care workers will once again be the lowest paid NHS AFC staff in the UK. This is not acceptable to staff nor patients in NI. We need parity and clarity now.

โ€œWe are not the cause of the problems in the NHS.โ€ RCN England director Patricia Marquis tells #TimesRadio itโ€™s โ€œplain obviousโ€ to the public that there isn't enough money or staff to deliver "adequate" NHS services. @PMarquisRCN | @AasmahMir

The governmentโ€™s pay offer isnโ€™t enough and will not solve the problems nursing faces, says Royal College of Nursing. @PMarquisRCN explains why her union rejected the NHS pay deal when others accepted it. #KayBurley LT

Dear @RishiSunak, After 13 years of running the NHS into the ground, it's crystal clear: a vote for your @Conservatives is a vote to kill the NHS. Thank you to @schrankartoons for this excellent work. #SOSNHS
