Sincere condolences to you and your family on the loss of Billy. Thank you for sharing this beautiful tribute about one of our amazing nurses and the love and compassion she showed to him throughout his time in her care. I hope this brings you some comfort in the weeks ahead
1/7 Sometimes I don't understand why people who come to work and live among us stay here when so many try to drive them away. I want to tell you how humanity and kindness and love are not learned – and can't be learned. I want to tell you about my brother Billy and his friend...

Really impressive and consistent performance by the six HSC Trust Chief Executives at today's @niahealth meeting, with strong messaging on the absolute necessity of resolving the current pay issues, and how without staff there is no health and social care service.

We need our politicians to take action to stop the crisis in health, for the sake of patients and the hard-working staff who are keeping services running. Take action today and demand that your MLA hears about your concerns:

Tell your MLA it is time for nursing staff working in our health and social care system to see pay parity. #FairPayForNursing #SafeStaffingSavesLives

@RCN_NI @rita_rdevlin29 @BMA_NI A constructive meeting, our members are rightly angry and are once again being forced to fight for their pay. A short sighted strategy in the midst of a healthcare crisis.

Thank you to our @BMA_NI colleagues for a very useful and constructive meeting this morning on the current HSC pay crisis and the co-ordination of our approaches to the issue, including in relation to potential industrial action. Both professions are clearly on the same page.
