Nurses United UK

A grassroots organisation for nurses by nurses. We've launched and we're doing everything we can to ensure that frontline nurses are heard.

[Nurses United UK @nurses_united]

#Nurses are using foodbanks 🙅🏿

The average nurse has lost 29% of their salary to real terms pay cuts since 2010 😱

It's no surprise that there are over 50,000 nursing vacancies 🚨

The government wants to bring back private finance in our NHS. 🤬

This would harm patients by siphoning off hundreds of millions of pounds in profits from our NHS. 🤑

@RachelReevesMP and @wesstreeting, you can still drop these disastrous and unpopular plans. Share if you agree.

[Dr Chris Day @drcmday]

We lost our appeal - I think this is how the story ends for my 10 year long NHS whistleblowing case.

There is nothing more I can say so this is a spoof Private Eye style article that takes you through the details with links to the papers.

Once again thanks for all your support,

"A remarkable ruling from the Employment Appeal Tribunal last week has revealed that NHS Trusts can now delete 90,000 emails in the middle of a court hearing, deny the existence of board meeting minutes (until they're discovered behind the photocopier), and feed tribunals a diet of whoppers—with absolutely no consequence whatsoever. This now from a High Court Judge who threw out an appeal from Dr Chris Day challenging an earlier Employment Tribunal decision that ignored all this and many other things.

In the long-running saga of Dr Chris Day, the resident doctor turned whistleblower who dared to challenge the culture of cover-up in NHS management, the EAT acknowledged that the Respondent Trust's behaviour was indeed "troubling"—but surprise surprise, not quite troubling enough for the Judge to do anything about it or for Dr Day to win his appeal."

Dr Chris Day EAT Judgment
"Troubling... but not quite troubling enough. Appeal dismissed.

[Dr Chris Day @drcmday]

I will be releasing a final written position on all of this. It has currently and helpfully been placed before the EAT President by his private secretary and I will include his comment also when I have it.

It is obvious what had gone on here with the barristers involved in representing me and the NHS back in 2018 and these actions have obstructed justice.

That is what has caused this extraordinary mess and the world of employment law keeps digging.

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

Tomorrow, we meet with @wesstreeting

All we're asking for is a clear path to #PayRestoration

Industrial action is our last resort.

There's still time for the Government to do what's right and avert these strikes before it's too late.

8 weeks working in Australia.
I’m in the lowest paid state for nurses in Oz and I’m earning more in a fortnight than I used to earn in a whole month in England, my birth country, the place where I trained to be a Registered Nurse, the place that doesn’t value me or my skills.

205 years ago today, the Peterloo Massacre took place at St Peter's Field in Manchester.

‘Rise like Lions after slumber
In unvanquishable number,
Shake your chains to earth like dew
Which in sleep had fallen on you
Ye are many — they are few.’

[Narinder Kaur @narindertweets]

This is unacceptable & deeply uncomfortable viewing. An entire white panel questioning a brown woman like a suspect. Ed Balls and Kate have left their homes this morning with no fear. Zarah and every other brown/black person left knowing they are a target

[Faiza Shaheen @faizashaheen]

What the hell is this?! Could their bias and prejudice be anymore obvious?!

[Jeremy Vine & Daytime on 5 @JeremyVineOn5]

"We have taxpayers languishing on waiting lists."

📞 Antonia says making nursing an attractive profession is vital because patient deaths increase when wards aren't fully staffed.

[Resident Doctors @BMAResidents]

We're aware that many doctors are being told their training is being automatically extended due to exceeding TOOT thresholds. This should NOT happen.
@gmcuk and @NHSEngland confirm there should be no automatic extensions.

See our guidance on TOOT 👇

Here is our message to members explaining the situation and why the BMA Local Negotiating Committee at GSTT felt compelled to take decisive action.

[James Steen @BMA_James_Steen]

Today we entered into a formal dispute with @GSTTnhs.

Doctors at GSTT deserve the same procedural protections as doctors working elsewhere in the NHS.

BMA members look to your emails for a message from us and to complete a short survey.

[Guff Roberts @GuffRoberts]

@theRCN The biggest barrier for nurses at the moment is having a union that doesn't represent it's members.
They took the pay spine nonsense to the last negotiations without it being the members requesting it, then told staff the dreadful offer was the best they'd get.

[The RCN @theRCN]

Our consultation on the latest Jersey pay offer is open. 🗳️

Eligible members, you have until 16 April to vote - don't delay!

Cast your vote in a few minutes here: https://t.co/EwEn6TpGFT

[PortyGeoff @PortyGeoff]

RCN members used their democratic vote instructing Council not to participate in the PRB. By ignoring this & agreeing to participate in the 'not' independent PRB the RCN in effect accepted that no pay award would be made in April. As you say Nursing Pay is deliberately undermined

[Nurses United UK @nurses_united]

Nursing staff are reporting that staffing levels are impacting on patient safety. We need to follow the example of other countries such as Australia and the US and introduce Nurse/Patient Ratios now.

[The RCN @theRCN]

"We're looking after more than the number of patients that we're supposed to look after."

At Joint Reps earlier this month, members told us about staffing levels on their last shift.

Complete our survey by 1 April to help us campaign for change: https://t.co/MNGdLRvWgz

[The RCN @theRCN]

📣 NEW #RCNSTRIKE ANNOUNCED:

Members in @RCN_NI on AfC will strike on 18 Jan as unions fight for fair pay and parity with UK colleagues.

“It's nothing short of immoral...we have no choice but to take further action”

[BMA SAS Doctors @BMA_SAS]

SAS members in England have voted YES to give us a mandate for strike action.

We also have a pay offer from Government, which we'll put to members via referendum. Until the pay offer referendum is complete, we won't call strike action.
