Nurses planning to walk out on strike for two days next month have received support and well-wishes from ECHO readers.
Members of the Royal College of Nursing (RCN) at the Royal Liverpool Hospital, Alder Hey Children's Hospital, Aintree, Broadgreen, Liverpool Women's Hospital and other city sites will walk out on December 15 and 20. The strikes will be the largest industrial action the profession has ever seen.
Royal College of Nursing members working on Agenda for Change contracts at hospital trusts across the country will be walking out in the dispute over pay and patient safety. The RCN has repeated calls on the UK government to accept its request for negotiations. The union said the number of NHS employers affected by the action will increase in January unless fresh talks are held.
