Nurses and ambulance staff on Monday staged Britain's biggest round yet of health service strikes, stepping up their demands for better pay to combat a cost-of-living crisis.
Striking staff outside St Thomas' Hospital in central London waved placards and chanted "Safer staffing saves lives" and "Claps don't pay the bills"—a reference to the daily national applause they received from the public during the coronavirus pandemic.
"We're run off our feet 24/7, breaking our backs doing the jobs of three people," said trainee nursing associate Victoria Busk, who works on a trauma ward at the Queen Elizabeth Hospital in Birmingham, central England. The Royal College of Nursing union has said Monday's strike affects nurses in around a third of hospital trusts in England and most of Wales.The ambulance staff strike only affects England, however, after paramedics in Wales called off their planned action following an improved pay offer.
