INTERNATIONAL NURSES' DAY – Standing up for nurses

Nurses know how hard things are on wards right now.

Every shift brings pressure, short staffing and growing demands. That pressure affects your colleagues and your patients every day.

Change happens when nurses stand together. Getting active strengthens your voice and supports colleagues facing the same issues.

Becoming a nurse rep isn’t about being an expert. It’s about backing colleagues, speaking up, and standing up for what is right at work.

By getting active, nurses support each other, improve conditions on wards, and protect patient care.

CONCERNS REGARDING INCREASED RACIAL ACTIVITY

The Northumbria Healthcare UNISON branch is concerned about the recent rise in racial activity, including demonstrations and social media coverage. We have observed an increase in targeted racial abuse.

In this current climate, we ask our members to be cautious when posting, sharing, or commenting on social media. Please avoid content that could be interpreted as an attack on individuals perceived as migrants or of mixed race. Additionally, we urge you to be mindful of the language used when discussing local issues, particularly related to immigration, to prevent any remarks from being construed as racist.

If any member of UNISON is subject to any racial abuse, either inside or outside of work, please get in touch with the branch. We have a dedicated Black Members officer, Estwar Sanichar, who can be contacted for advice and support.
