So a Govt advisor this week said ‘We support the right to strike but ultimately we have to stop unions holding the country to ransom’. Well Liz Truss it’s you & Conservatives holding the nation to ransom, not nurses, not Unions but Govt #FairPayForNursing #NursesStrike The RCN

It was a great experience taking part in #bbcdn debate night in Dumfries. Our locals are so passionate about a range of subjects from politics to climate change and of course we gave the NHS some much needed discussion #FairPayForNursing

After the vote on the strike ballot please don't lose sight of this EGM if you are an The RCN member. The petition to be considered has identified undeniable issues in our governance and culture but I think the remedy proposed is not the right one 1/4 rcn.org.uk/About-us/How-t…

There is no doubt that there have been unacceptable behaviours and other issues but having heard and welcomed our Chief Executive and Chair of Council's firm commitment (being acted on) to address what Carr tells us I think they need the chance to complete those. 2/4

Integrity is an important thing, and those who have acted with a lack of this have no place in governance structures. However, I believe people who have acted scrupulously and in line with our standards throughout are there and will take the remedial action forward 3/4

I know BJ Waltho is one such (the only person I have had enough sight of to judge this) and that she is not alone on Council. The RCN needs surgery, but not total removal of Council - debridement has a much better prognosis for patients than decapitation...

The cost of meeting the nurses' pay demand - £1.6bn 🏥 Cost of Sunak's bank tax giveaway - £7.3bn 💸 They have the money to give nurses a proper pay rise- they just don't want to. RT if you back a real pay rise for our nurses 👊

"Minimum staffing levels are not available for our patients or nurses on any day of the week. Minimum staffing levels on a day of industrial action action is just so far removed from reality and an insult to both our patients and to nurses." Pat Cullen MP on Good Morning Britain this morning.

My longest ever episode of imposter syndrome - if I weren't retiring I'd be standing, hoping for another term! Worked with quality colleagues commited to nursing and the member voice - hope you are as lucky! BJ Waltho Linda B Samantha Spence 🌈 RHV RNC QN Vicky Keir Colleen White Michael Brown
