Since Jack Fletcher’s email about an “update” on 15/5/26 with regard to pay negotiations, I have been wondering what on earth is going on? Jack said on 15th he would be “in touch again in next seven days”.
It will be seven days tomorrow.
What are we expecting to hear? Is it gonna be the same old “talks are ongoing, just watch this space for further updates”???
How reliable are Freedom to Speak Up Guardians in NHS Trusts? Are they actually supportive/maintain confidentiality when concerns are raised to them about systemic issues and practises in Trusts that are, let’s say, not benefitting patients nor staff. (Asking just out of curiosity as I have seen a lot of posters about this but have never spoken to FTSU Guardian)
BMA has maintained silence for a while now regarding negotiations about pay and jobs. Do we think there will be an announcement today about upcoming strikes? Or at least an official update with meaningful progress about talks?
