UNISON is encouraging all nurses and midwives to sign up to a new revalidation process as quickly as possible to prepare for the process

UNISON represents the whole nursing family, including nurses, midwives, health visitors and healthcare assistants.

Commenting on Health Education England’s report Shape of Caring published today (Thursday), UNISON head of health, Christina McAnea said:

UNISON has branded the plans secretive, ambiguous, and an attempt to ignite further discontent over pay, when ministers should be focusing their attention on solving the current pay dispute.

“Instead of talking tough to the media, the government should be negotiating with the representatives of nurses, midwives, radiographers, hospital cleaners and porters, occupational therapists and other health workers – it’s the only way to resolve this pay dispute.

There is no question that public service workers are still paying a heavy price for the recklessness of the bankers all those years ago
