Flexible working provides an important opportunity to address the staffing crisis across the NHS, by helping to attract and retain staff.
The #TalkAboutFlex campaign aims to increase awareness of flexible working rights and benefits and encourage positive action by staff and employers.
NHS wages have not kept pace with inflation in recent years, and systems for pay setting including the NHS Pay Review Body process have not addressed long-standing structural issues in the pay framework.
The #WithNHSStaff campaign makes the case for investment in NHS pay on behalf of the 14 unions that represent the non-medical staff in the NHS.
NHS unions provides a collective voice for joint working by all the unions representing NHS staff. The NHS in England directly employs around 1.7 million staff, in a wide range of roles.
