"Collection of Media"

A collection of all the media I have done outside of Bluesky
Tv clips & Internet shows, interviews, radio, podcasts etc all in one place
Activism/TUC Session

This has been the most interacted with session at the conference so far. It was gold standard in terms of creating a space for reps in attendance to have that much needed dialogue with the organisation. Brilliant to see the passion about our roles as reps and for Trade Unionism

Day 2 of conference

As a union we @rcn.org.uk took a moment to recognise the struggles of the people and particularly healthcare professionals affected by Hurricane Melissa

Our political response to the #NHS 10 Year Plan is below.

"While some ideas, if effectively delivered, would garner our support, we are deeply concerned that the dominant strands being advanced rely heavily on privatisation and unrealistic technological promises."

Having seen @rcn.org.uk on UTV today, I am very impressed by the position of no derogation if strike action becomes a reality again

My colleagues deserve pay parity & I have no doubt they will fight and win when the time comes

The gauntlet has been laid at Stormonts feet!

Then I ask you to support those of us trying to make sure that promise will be kept for generations to come.

Doctors pay is absurd.

No Doctor in the UK should start on less than an ANP or Physicians Associate

There's something very wrong with a system that allows this in our #NHS
Too many resident doctors are paid incorrectly.

If you’re a resident doctor in England on the 2016 contract, our new pay checker is here to help.

5 days in what can only be described as insane temperatures in Portugal and im actually grateful to be under Scotlands skies

My thoughts go out to all those across Portugal, Spain, Greece and Montenegro dealing with wildfires

Agree, we need people to train and stay this would be a good incentive for all healthcare staff
I think doctors should get free university and in turn commit to the NHS for X years, hard enough being a doc in the UK, it maybe would feel a wee bit easier/valued if you didn’t have £100k of debt!

New @rcn.org.uk stats reveal a Nurse is being attacked ....EVERY HOUR in A&E's England

The law around the assault of emergency staff has to change.

Our job involves life and death but it cannot be accepted that we have to worry about our own when we go to work!
