Tonight, I’ve come close to tears whilst apologising to patients for the standards of care we are able to provide.
In my 22 years of being an A&E Dr, I’ve never seen things so bad. It’s the same everywhere.
I just hope patients know fault lies with politicians not NHS staff.
NHS nurses hold the hands, tend the wounds, save the lives, wash the dead. They comfort us, console us, diagnose us, save us. They toil & smile & endlessly care.
Not a single NHS nurse wants to strike tomorrow. They’re desperate.
Please show NHS nurses some love. Please RT 💙
Tomorrow many nurses will be on strike for the first time in their lives
We've been left with no other choice
If you will be supporting striking NHS workers please reply with a 💙

@DrLou83 It is clear reading this that a lot of people replying have no idea what it takes to get to your level, the training, the sacrifices and level of dedication needed should be applauded and paid accordingly. Anyone who says otherwise has no idea what they’re taking about
MP pay 2010 £65k
MP pay 2022 £84.1k
28% rise & real terms rise of over £4k
same period nurses pay down 8% against inflation with real terms pay cut of £3k
RT if you think MPs telling nurses they don’t deserve a rise are taking the piss
#EnoughIsEnough
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.
