The NHS is in crisis. Patients are unsafe. Our members are saying loud and clear: enough is enough. For the first time in the RCN’s history, our members have mandated strike action throughout the UK. RT to support nursing. #FairPayForNursing bit.ly/3tieEGQ

“Are you the tea lady?” The latest in a long line of job roles (whether real or imaginary) people assume more likely than surgeon. #ILookLikeASurgeon #resusdontevenhaveatealady #ifyoufindhimorheridloveacuppa

When staff ask for a fair pay rise the govt tells us “there’s no magic money tree” but when conservative voters demand universal access to same day F2F appts midway through a pandemic without any increase in tax it’s dumped on NHS staff to work even harder. This country is a joke

We're proud of the lifesaving work our volunteers do in the Channel – we make no apology for it. Those we rescue are vulnerable people in danger & distress. Each of them is someone’s father, mother, son or daughter - every life is precious. This is why we launch:

A 3% pay rise that doesn’t include junior doctors. That includes the majority of doctors working in intensive care and on the NHS frontline during the past pandemic. This is not acceptable.
