Sending solidarity with my colleagues and all staff today across the NHS. I have been visiting my friends community centre here in Uganda and also her wedding but I am there in spirit. #NHSCrisis #SafeStaffingSavesLives @SEW_UK_ #Uganda #Lira #SustainablyEmpoweringWomen

8 weeks working in Australia. I’m in the lowest paid state for nurses in Oz and I’m earning more in a fortnight than I used to earn in a whole month in England, my birth country, the place where I trained to be a Registered Nurse, the place that doesn’t value me or my skills.

I never thought I’d have to contemplate leaving my dream job after years of training, but after 18 wks off sick and being on £14 an hour as an NHS ICU nurse I’m now looking to leave my job to work agency as it pays more so I can afford weekly counselling for my PTSD. #NHSpay15

Ambulance Strike: @BBCBreakfast "Are you saying if people dial '999' they might not get an ambulance?" Gary Smith (GMB).. "We are saying they probably won't get one now, and we're not on strike today" #NHS

Helen Whatley who thinks NHS staff having annual leave is a ‘benefit’ claims £3,250 a month in expenses to pay her rent. That’s more than FIVE times my rent and I live in a city centre studio flat. #ToryBritain

‘27k isn’t a bad salary’, says someone who has no idea what it’s like to hold a professional registration and worry about losing your whole career cos of one decision. #Nursing

Two years ago Dido penned a report admitting that the NHS must ‘increase international recruitment in the short to medium term’. Now she wants rid of foreign staff. She failed with Test & Trace, she mustn’t ruin anything else. RT if you don’t want Harding as CEO of NHS England.

When I was sexually assaulted last year I couldn’t get anything done (still waiting) despite offering the CCTV to the police on a plate & letting them know where he likely worked. However protesting about unfair pay, working conditions & patient safety gets ME 10 yrs in prison?

If you do an extra shift as a band 5 nurse in the NHS this is what ‘extra’ you can expect. For 12 and half hours on your day off is that worth it? #NHS #Nursing

It doesn’t sit well with me that there’s tweets from @BorisJohnson regarding the Olympic wins today but NOTHING condemning violence/abuse towards healthcare workers from 3 days ago #GotyourbackNHS

Did our Prime Minister, Boris Johnson really just say at the Downing Street Briefing - "We must reconcile ourselves that there will be more deaths". Must we? Really? Are you fucking kidding me? #UnfitToGovern

I hope you said ‘not putting other people at risk by leaving the house and sending someone else to the pharmacy’ 😭🙄
