It is part of a national action
Nottingham nurses began their second day of strike action as they fight for fair pay and better conditions for staff. Dozens of nurses returned to the picket lines on Tuesday, December 20, outside Queen's Medical Centre for a day of action organised by the Royal College of Nursing.
"Our members have had 10 years of below inflation pay. With the pay that is being offered we can’t attract people to the profession or retain people in the profession.” "They have been bad for a long time but they are beyond a joke now. I’m not on the wards any more but I can see how my colleagues are suffering with it and they can’t carry on."
"We are here today to protest our pay and to get a better pay deal, but we are also here to protest staff shortages. I’m also here because I’m concerned about the future of nursing and we want people to come into the profession and have a reasonable wage for their work." Zoe explained that she feels nurses "are the backbone of the NHS." She added: "We want our patients to know that when they come into the hospital to the time they leave that they are getting the best care, but we can’t give that to them if we don’t have enough staff."
Ahead of the action on Tuesday, A spokesperson for NUH said: "Our focus is to maintain patient safety and our teams are working hard to ensure that we prioritise patients who require emergency treatment.
