Our podcast covers NHS pay ahead of nursing staff’s rejection of this year’s 3.6% award in union consultations. Other topics include lack of jobs for new nurses

Next year’s pay award has also been triggered unusually early

NHS pay is one of the main topics discussed in the latest Nursing Standard podcast episode, recorded in anticipation of nursing staff’s overwhelming rejection of this year’s 3.6% pay award.

The fact that next year’s pay award process has also been triggered unusually early is also discussed by RCNi content editor Alistair Mason and senior journalist Shruti Sheth Trivedi as they look at the latest events hitting nursing headlines.

Newly registered nurses protesting over a lack of jobs, pay outside the NHS, and how to identify and categorise a pressure ulcer are also under the spotlight.
