It Looks like the Pandemic is Highlighting Pay Conditions for Nurses

Some nursing practices in England have been denied sick pay for any employer coronavirus-based cases. This happened in the first few stages of the pandemic. A grim survey has revealed this information and this is good news to say the least. Of course, the Queens’ Nursing Group have been asked by the NHS England to see if they can capture the general experiences of those who nursed during the Spring. There are a lot of GPNs who have been let down and they have not been respected at all. The survey was done in the year 2000 and they have also received responses from over 3,100 nurses. In a report which has been published, it would seem that the QNI is very clear in the fact that COVID has exaggerated any issues that lie around remuneration and it has also shown issues for working conditions. This is especially the case for homecare and even those who work in private nursing. Of course, the lack of sick pay was mentioned by the survey on a basis of 15 times. One nurse has told the QNI that the practice does not pay out for sick pay and this has caused a huge range of difficulties. This is especially when it comes to staff who follow the guidelines on things such as self-isolation. They have also added that if they had any standardised terms or conditions then this would not be an issue at all. If they agreed that they would have to self-isolate and be paid if they became ill, then this would really work in the favour of those who are putting in the hours. Their aim right now is to try and make sure that they are having more equitable treatment for those who work in the nursing sector.
