Massive support to our wonderful nursing colleagues in the north east on strike today. You are fighting for the sustainable future of our NHS.
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 💙
