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.

The prospect of Industrial action is becoming much closer to reality for NI nurses. I will go stand with my colleagues in Northern Ireland if and when that time comes. They cannot stand for being paid less than other UK nurses. @Dkell999 @rita_rdevlin29 @RCNNI_NorthernB β

@NHSActivistRN @rita_rdevlin29 @RCNNI_NorthernB Itβs an absolute disgrace, but here we are yet again being left as second-class citizens compared to the rest of the UK. Our message is simple - Pay Parity or Picket Lines.

In 2020, we ended our strike based on the βNew Decade, New Approachβ promise that nursing staff in NI would never again fall behind UK pay parity. Enough is enough. Itβs unacceptable that our members may face industrial action yet again just to get the same pay as colleagues
@RCN_NI It is unbelievable that once again our members could be forced to take industrial action to get a pay rise. They have worked tirelessly in a broken system to try to deliver for patients . Their reward ? No payrise yet and a suggestion they may have to accept less. Just No

π | 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. https://t.co/uOPU5z40c6

βYou canβt be clapped one minute, and declared disposable the next.β This week, RCN member Patricia Temple told the COVID-19 Inquiry how nursing staff with long COVID have been abandoned. We're calling on the UK government to classify long COVID as an occupational disease.
