Gutting for nurses to hear this morning that once again the DoH has refused to pay nurses their lost earnings at a time when nurses are delivering the vaccine whilst they continue to carry out their day and daily care for patients. Words come easy but nurses dont see much action

@theRCN The disgusting words of a Prime Minister who along with her Health Secretary treats this College and the half million plus nursing staff we represent with total contempt. Many letters written requesting urgent meetings but I haven’t received a single response.

Dominic Cummings says: ‘people like me, the Prime Minister and the Health Secretary, we let down people on the frontline’. Every single nurse knew this was the case. What an indictment on government.

Delighted to meet our nursing staff at Eastbourne. I cannot thank our members enough for what they are doing for patients, the public and our profession. Met many up and coming new nurses supporting their mums and Nannys! What a pleasure. #RCNStrikes

Preparing to meet the RCN NI Board this morning. A new dawn a new beginning for the most amazing nurses & health care staff in the world. The power of their voice for patients will never be under estimated again. Add this to political leadership and there’s real hope for our NHS

I haven’t had an opportunity to thank our nurses and the public for their support today. I am immensely proud of every nurse in NI. You deserve a break. I hear your voice loud & clear - strike action continues on the 8 & 10 December on behalf of your patients and their safe care.

Our dear family friend James’ film nominated. Also up for a BAFTA. James is one of the most wonderful actors you could meet. He is a real ambassador for our wee country. So proud.

Our nursing members on the picket line at the Royal Victoria Hospital Belfast in the freezing cold. Losing pay to protect the NHS. They deserve their pay to be kept in line with the rest of the UK countries. Disgraceful treatment of all public sector workers in NI

As every Tory politician continues with their personal self indulgence to keep power in their hands I suggest they take a leaf out of the nurses book of integrity - patients first. No nurse receives £115k after less then a few months in post and never will receive.
