Nurses
UNISON representatives and members come from all areas of nursing, including the acute sector, primary care and mental health. Due to our huge network of representatives and officers we are able to offer expert advice on all issues that affect you in your workplace, as well as many outside of your work.
UNISON members have the power to influence policy decisions and campaigns via our lay member-led nursing sector. With direct input from the sector we respond to consultations from the Department of Health to the Nursing and Midwifery Council and make sure that we campaign on issues that affect you.
