Behind the scenes with POA reps working in Secure Hospitals
In this episode we look at the work of POA members in secure mental health institutions, particularly Rampton, Ashworth and Carstairs. What is the journey that leads people to this very demanding type of work? What are the differences between working in the NHS and HMPPS? And how do you organise a
ballot when you have members spread across 247 locations? Members of the Consultative Committee give rare and candid insights.
During the discussion, reference was made to how a high street coffee shop pays more than a qualified nurse, the issue of a 1pence per hour pay rise for certain NHS grades, and the creation of a million millionaires in the UK during Covid. Click on the links to access articles on each of these. The indicative ballot on the NHS pay offer and revisions in the national minimum wage and national living wage, are also mentioned.
For more information on the union and all the work it does in support of its members, visit poauk.org.uk.
