80 years since D-Day. 80 years since the largest seaborne invasion in history. 80 years since the heroic efforts of those who landed on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Europe from Nazi tyranny. 80 years of peace in Western Europe since. Today we say thank you. #DDay80

To be clear Prime Minister, we have not reached an NHS pay settlement for nursing - our members rejected the government's offer and remain in dispute. We expect whoever forms the next government to start direct negotiations on nursing pay during the summer. #ITVdebate #GE2024

…🧐Fact check ❌50k more nurses? 1000s of nursing vacancies unfilled. ❌Waiting lists down 5 months in a row? Yet higher than when the pledge was made. ❌Pay disputes settled? Yet nursing left out in the cold. Hardly a year to be proud of - nursing & patients deserve better.
We're creating a faster, simpler and fairer NHS for patients. 🎙️ We caught up with Health & Social Care Secretary @VictoriaAtkins on the progress we've made so far 👇 Feat. Bob, Chief Whippet 🦮

Every day, nursing staff see the impact poverty has on people’s health, but are often powerless to stop the root causes. Reducing health inequalities means investing in vulnerable communities, alongside investing in the public health nursing workforce.

We’re demanding a significant pay enhancement of ‘several thousand’ to stem the exodus of nursing staff, alongside a substantial above-inflation NHS pay rise.

Nursing students are the future of our health and care services, but the future looks bleak with fewer people expected to take up nursing courses this year. We need action from the UK government to prevent more people being priced out of entering the profession, including

Today’s launch of the health commission @thetimes adds weight to the call for Govt to remove the burden of student loans. Critical to filling the 40k vacancies.
