What is the difference between being a nurse in Scotland and the rest of the UK?

This latest episode explores the differences on pay, terms and conditions for nurses working in NHS Scotland and beyond.

Our guest, RCN Scotland’s director Colin Poolman, talks to podcast host and senior reporter Alison Stacey about how negotiations between the RCN and the Scottish government secured better pay, a shorter working week and protected learning time.

Band 5 nurses will also be able to self-apply to have their role reviewed to check their job and skills match their pay band.

Mr Poolman explains why RCN Scotland are able to directly negotiate with the government on pay, gives advice to all nurses on the band 5 job review, and discusses what the new safe-staffing legislation means for healthcare staff across the country.

We also hear from Mr Poolman on what the election could mean for the pay claim, and whether he envisages Scottish nurses taking to the picket lines in 2024.
