Misinformation is rife - know your rights and be confident to take lawful strike action to fight for #fairpayfornursing and #safestaffing
As we approach the biggest #RCNStrike in 106 years, many members are being misinformed about what striking means. I urge you all to listen to the truth & say no to being misled or deterred. This is a once in a lifetime chance to stand up for what we deserve.🧵 1/7

The @theRCN play guidance is now available to download. Play is so imp for CYP in healthcare & too often it is closed down unnecessarily through fear of risk. @gallagher_rose & @dunn_helen718 did a wonderful job of leading this wk to help maintain access

“Nursing support workers are worth their weight in gold.”
Today we're shining a light on the variety of critical roles nursing support workers do and the vital contribution they make to patient care in all settings, with patients of all ages. Pls RT.

“It’s heartbreaking to listen to those stories”
The head of the Royal College of Nursing, Pat Cullen, tells #BBCNewscast why nurses have voted for strike action…
When we hosted this event with invited to ALL Devon MP’s there was no reply from @MelJStride. Disappointed that he has criticised our hard working nurses who have taken a stand because they & their patients deserve better. If MPs engaged with nurses, perhaps they’d understand… – at South West, England
Honoured to have chaired this event in which our nursing workforce were able to give their real life experiences to local MP’s! We hear passionate member talk about the issues & solutions to them in nursing. Thank you for listening @Geoffrey_Cox, @SelaineSaxby & @JohnnyMercerUK.

‼️What a strong message #nurses have sent from across the #SouthWest
🗳👍 #StrikeAction is not a decision that nurses want to have been driven to.
🆘👇🆘👇🆘
RCN strike vote: some strong regional and sector trends in the trusts where the union got the 'yes' vote AND (crucially) hit the required turnout threshold.

No-one in our profession has taken the decision to strike lightly.
The voice of nursing has been heard and #EnoughIsEnough.
Very proud of nursing staff for standing up for ourselves and our patients in this fight to save the NHS #FairPayForNursing @theRCN
Today we have released the results of our strike ballot, showing we have a mandate for strike action in the majority of NHS employers.
Members will be contacted by email with full results for their employer.

Anger has become action – our members are saying enough is enough. The voice of nursing in the UK is strong and I will make sure it is heard. Our members will no longer tolerate a financial knife-edge at home and a raw deal at work.
Our branch members across all NHS sectors in our Devon branch area, namely, @TorbaySDevonNHS, @RoyalDevonNHS & @DPT_NHS have all voted in favour of strike action.

Our new report predicts decline in nursing graduates joining the profession over the next few years as lack of government funding, absence of workforce planning and changes to student loan repayments take a toll.
