UK nurses: how are you coping financially?

Nurses who belong to the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) went on strike in England over pay for the first time last year.

RCN members rejected a pay offer of a 5% pay rise and a one off sum of £1,655 last spring. However, the deal was backed by most other health unions and the government imposed it.

Amid problems of recruiting and retaining nurses – the NHS in England alone has over 40,000 nurse vacancies – we want to find out what impact financial pressures are having on them.

Please get in touch by filling in the form below, or by messaging us on WhatsApp at +447766780300.
