@CarpentersGroup husband has been waiting for a call back for over a week from case worker. Please can this be looked into!

[The RCN @theRCN]

A record number of you voted in our consultation on the NHS pay award in England – thank you. You are the Voice of Nursing. You voted to REJECT the 5.5% pay award – the UK government must hear that message.

Dear 🇬🇧,

Just finished a night shift in A&E and feeling wrecked. If you have a job that has a "going home checklist" like this, you deserve better pay and conditions. Full stop.

[Richard Burgon MP @RichardBurgon]

Just a few years ago, the Government was clapping nurses.

Now instead of paying them properly, it's just confirmed that it's taking legal action against them.

That tells you everything about what this Government really thinks of the workers who keep our NHS running.

[The RCN @theRCN]

Figures released by UCAS show a dramatic decline in the number of people applying to study nursing. This is a damning reminder of how the govt’s failure on #FairPayForNursing is impacting patient care today and damaging our profession well into the future. https://t.co/tpPyQ0pvad

[NHS Nurses @SocialistNHS]

“1 in 3 nurses struggle to heat their homes and keep food on the table. Claps don’t pay the fucking bills.”

@ZarahSultana exposes the reality behind the nurses strike.

[Nursing in Practice @NurseinPractice]

Making district nurses a band 7 role under Agenda for Change is a 'no-brainer' according to Dr Crystal Oldman, QNI chief executive.

Speaking to Nursing in Practice, @CrystalOldman says that a re-think of banding could help improve retention.

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

The poor in the UK are doing particularly badly from inflation. The cost of living increase from higher energy prices is steepest for the poorest 20% in the UK compared to any European country, except Estonia. Will the new government address this inequality?

[Sir Michael Marmot @MichaelMarmot]

If you are rich in the UK, you are almost as well off as a rich Norwegian. If you are poor in the UK, your income is way behind the bottom 5% and 10% in Norway. Brilliantly presented by @jburnmurdoch
