HCAs in UNISON are coming together to fight for respect , recognition and proper reward for their work, through UNISON's Pay Fair for Patient Care campaign.

They're organising to move up to Band 3, to reflect work they already do - and they're winning.

BREAKING 🚨🏥 | 300 catering and cleaning employees at North Middlesex Hospital will come back in-house to the NHS.

This follows a campaign through their union UNISON.

Fantastic insourcing win!

[UNISON Health @UNISONOurNHS]

It may be better for you to take the lump sum in instalments rather than in one pay packet, to lessen the impact on any Universal Credit payments.

If you think this would help you, you should contact your local branch and read more in our FAQs here:

NHS pay deal 2023: Next steps

Keep checking in for further guidance on local implementation – including taking the lump sum in instalments so it doesn’t impact Universal Credit. We’re working locally with employers on implementation.

Sara Gorton, UNISON head of health and Chair of the NHS staff council union group, talks to BBC Radio 4 PM about today’s meeting on the NHS pay offer @UNISONOurNHS

🔔 | NHS staff including ambulance workers, nurses, physios and porters will get the pay rise they've voted to accept. It’s a 5% rise and a one-off sum of at least £1,655.

[UNISON Health @UNISONOurNHS]

NHS Staff Council met this afternoon. The majority of NHS staff and their unions, including UNISON, voted to accept the pay offer.

Our strike action forced the government to make a better offer. Now it needs to be implemented swiftly.

The government has agreed to explore the possibility of a separate pay spine for nurses. This is a divisive proposal that will not solve the real problems facing nurses in our NHS.

[UNISON Health @UNISONOurNHS]

A separate pay spine for nurses would not raise spending on nurse pay, and could collapse the wider system for everyone else.
