“There is no other profession in the NHS that will start their career as a band 5 and retire as a band 5. Not one. Nurses have been completely and utterly taken advantage of" - @theRCN chief Nicola Ranger
It is difficult to put into words just how tough it is for our frontline staff at the moment. We are really worried about the toll that flu and other viruses are taking on our patients and on services across the NHS.

If you have flu, there are some things you can do to help get better more quickly.
Pharmacies can give treatment advice and recommend flu remedies if you need it.
If your local pharmacy is shut on New Year’s Day you can find one near you;

🆕 | Burnout, low staffing levels and increasing patient need, are forcing staff to quit early, not long after registration.
With more staff leaving and fewer joining, this is a perfect storm which threatens patient care.

A talk from the wonderful @HarryEcclesRCN talking on nursing activism and what it means to he a nurse activist
at the rcn student ambassadors conference #rcn@RCNStudents
In 2020, we ended our strike based on the ‘New Decade, New Approach’ promise that nursing staff in NI would never again fall behind UK pay parity. Enough is enough. It’s unacceptable that our members may face industrial action yet again just to get the same pay as colleagues across the water. We’ve worked tirelessly in a broken system to care for patients—yet we get no pay rise and even talk of settling for less. Our message is clear: our strike mandate is live. Restore pay parity now, or see us back on the picket lines. #PayParity #FairPayForNINurses
