Review the basic pay for nurses and other allied health care professionals
I want the government to review the NHS agenda for change (pay scheme) for the NHS nurses and other allied healthcare workers who took hard in the NHS looking after out loved ones and the ones in need. They haven't had their pay revised for more 6 years now.
Why is this important?
There is more and more nurses shortage all across the UK and especially the NNS. It is mainly due to the fact that LESS number of people are attracted towards the job. And it is due to the fact that the salary for nurses in the NHS is so low that new people are not attracted towards the job.
Moreover the existing nurses and trying to take alternative profession simply because of the fact that the stress that they take for the pay they receive is not proportionate. With just over £21000 as a starting salary in the NHS for a newly qualified nurse, it is difficult to attract more people into the progression and due to this low numbers of staff on ward patient care is getting compromised.
I would like to promote this campaign as one of the step the improve the plight of our world class NHS.
