Our General Secretary and Chief Executive @patcullen9 has written to @Mike_Fabricant over his comments today on nurses drinking in staff rooms during #COVID19.
"I don't think at any time he thought he was breaking the law... he thought just like many teachers and nurses who after a very long shift would go back to the staff room and have a quiet drink"
Tory MP Michael Fabricant urges Boris Johnson to apologise

Today our strike action begins, and nursing staff need your solidarity.

#RCNStrike#FairPayForNursing
Once again, we offered talks. Once again Ministers refused to get round the table. Once again nursing staff are left with no choice.
For the protection of our patients & profession, our next strike will take place on 18 & 19 January 2023.

‘We strike for the future of the NHS.’
The largest strike in RCN history starts today, as nursing staff in England, Northern Ireland and Wales demand fair pay and patient safety.

No, @RishiSunak, you have not reached a resolution with nurses in the NHS. Our members rejected your pay offer, and we remain in dispute.
Over 70% of the public back strike action by nursing staff, we will continue to fight for our profession and for our patients.

“The NHS is in a crisis, the nursing profession can’t take any more, our loved ones – your parents, children, friends and relatives – are the ones at stake here."
On the eve of the first #RCNStrike, @patcullen9 sets out why this action is the only option.
#FairPayForNursing
Nursing staff are burnt out, exhausted and considering leaving the career they love. A 1% pay award will drive them to the door. They deserve a significant pay rise. Support our campaign #FairPayForNursing
The NHS is in crisis.
Patients are unsafe.
Our members are saying loud and clear: enough is enough.
For the first time in the RCN’s history, our members have mandated strike action throughout the UK.
RT to support nursing.

.@patcullen9: 'People aren’t dying because nurses are striking. Nurses are striking because people are dying.'
Patient safety is at the heart of why we're striking across England today and tomorrow.
