"Nothing changes. Things just get tighter and tighter, and we are expected to keep put up with things, keep finding reserves. Enough is enough."

RCN members across the country and @patcullen9 spoke to @BBCNews on this historic day, explaining why they are taking strike action

[RoyalCollegeObsGyn @RCObsGyn]

The RCOG has today joined forces with @SandsUK and @MidwivesRCM to urge the Government to tackle the shortage of staff in maternity services. The call comes as a report on maternity and neonatal staffing is published today by @APPGBabyLoss. (1/2)

fantastic episode on @theRCN ballot for strike action. @alisonleary1 makes powerful case discussing nursing as a “profession of vigilance” in relation to safety and social justice. 'Fair pay protects patient safety' by Nursing Matters https://t.co/9acjjs9W86
