'My partner has to be support me to do the job I love - if we were both nurses one of us would have to quit'
Sarah Frances has worked as a nurse at The Christie hospital in south Manchester for over a decade. It's a job she's always loved.
Waving placards demanding 'fair pay for nursing staff', Sarah joined a picket line outside The Christie hospital on Wilmslow Road this morning - along with dozens of her colleagues. "People waiting for hours and hours in A&E without being seen, the ratios of nurse to patients, and the level of care patients get when they need it are vastly different," she said.
"When you look at graduates there's something like 15,000 jobs short in the UK which is most likely due to the fact we've had a massive real terms pay cut. Leah Hutchinson-Saxon, who has worked at The Christie for four years, says some of her colleagues are struggling so much financially, they're having to rely on foodbanks.
