A nurse who has worked in the NHS for over 20 years, tells ashishskynews the relentless pressure has made him cut his hours and rethink his future
The drums, flags and trumpets made it sound and look like a carnival but this was no celebratory party.nurses, joined by doctors and other health worker colleagues, gathered outside Euston's University College Hospital ahead of a march to the prime minister's door.
The mood of many here matched the icy cold bitterness of mid-winter. I marched alongside Bert Roman, a haematology nurse from central London.He told me he has worked in the NHS for over 20 years, but the relentless pressure had made him cut his hours and rethink his future. "The overwhelming consensus was that we have to do this in order to secure safe patient care within 5-10 years, otherwise our service will decline much further and we have nothing left," Bert said as we walked down Tottenham Court Road, our conversation drowned out by honking drivers keen to show their support.
Bert and his colleagues are really angry with the government, obviously about refusing to budge on pay negotiations but also with the way"they are attempting to control the messaging around patient safety and delays to care". If there is a shift in public mood away from supporting the nurses it certainly was not evident along the few miles we marched through central London.
