These poor #nhs nurses, I don't know how they manage.
The daughter paid for her sheets to be ironed by one of these ironing services. "Don't get used to it, or you'll be using it all the time," I said.
I had to pick her up Saturday and run her home to her flat: "Oh, and that's my bag of washing and ironing from the ironing service." She said.
Poor nurses. #nhspay
What is the point of doctors & nurses joining unions if those unions surrender their members to the risk of disability & death during an ongoing pandemic, & then sell them out for a pitiful 5% pay rise that goes nowhere towards addressing daily living costs? And all this while hours & working conditions are not only poor but actually traumatic?
#SaveTheNHS #NHSPay #NHSstrike #NHSEngland & the latter also applies to #NHSScotland #LongCovid
This is just disgusting #NHSPAY #outsourcing #NHS

'NHS England is paying management consultants day rates of up to £3,000, despite the government claiming it cannot afford to give nurses and junior doctors a real-terms pay rise.
Some executives from top consulting firms including Deloitte and PA Consulting are being paid the equivalent of an annual salary of more than £600,000 by NHS England for their services – more than double what its own CEO is reportedly paid.
Know the difference!

Rishi Sunak and Steve Barclay's offer to striking nurses and junior doctors...

I made a decision this morning to cancel my #union membership with #Unison. When I joined - when I was still a student #nurse - it was because I felt they had more backbone than the #RCN. I thought the RCN used to just bend over for the Trust, whereas Unison were more on our side.
Unison were also affiliated with the #Labour party, of which I was a member.
I’m now a member of neither, and neither are anything close to as left as they were. #RedTories, both.
FFS. How to love and hate a democratic process at the same.
I’m one of the 26%, and I’m beyond frustrated that people don’t look at the bigger picture.
I wonder how the majority will feel when they see what the #JuniorDoctors get.
