New research reports nurses are skipping meals at work to feed their children - it's time the government valued our healthcare staff.
dictates that the pay scale for nurses starts at £20,270 and incrementally rises across the nine bands. They estimate that the average annual salary of an NHS nurse is £35,000.
‘It was clear how worried trusts are by how much they’re having to lean in as an employer to support their staff,’ Deakin says. ‘Many are now having to increase the number of hospitals with food banks on site for staff. One Trust was washing uniforms for staff, so they didn’t have to use their washing machines at home, and several are offering hardship grants.’
Essentially, in order to keep the NHS going and maintain its reputation as a world-class healthcare system, the government must make it a desirable place to work. That means somewhere staff aren’t forced to use foodbanks, can eat a hot meal at work without worrying about their child going without and not have to call in sick for shifts because they can’t afford their commute.
