"Every 20 minutes an ambulance worker experiences violence or aggression"

An honestly disgusting statistic. Violence against emergency workers should never be tolerated

Good time to remind everyone of this as we go back in to masks again in the NHS.

PPE will be a triggering topic for many staff who suffered as a result of an incompetent government response during the Pandemic

Where's the justice for the staff who died?
Covid fraud under the Tories cost the taxpayer £10.9 billion

The counter-fraud and error measures during the pandemic under the Conservative Government were accused of being 'so lax they may as well have left the door wide open'

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.
