Working for the NHS has an impact on your health and is leading many nurses to work on bank.
Irrespective of pay the NHS is in a dire state and the government doesn't seem interested.

NHS pay went up £1,400 this year.  That was a poor pay rise before inflation went over 14%. On top of this pension changes mean that most NHS staff didn't see much a pay rise and some got a pay cut. How the tories can pretend to talk seriously about the NHS is bewildering

I'm afraid it's the future for employment in Britain.
With turning their backs on , you/we are powerless.

A couple of friends asked about which UK union to join. I’m regularly excited and annoyed about unions, but especially now I think it’s good to have their advice and support. I recommended the TUC’s union finder: tuc.org.uk/join-a-union . He is a non-tech freelancer and has since joined Community community-tu.org/who-we-are/ou . They seemed proactive and switched on to modern day working. Anyone else had fun with unions lately?
