Are NHS Workers Getting a Pay Rise?: Exploring NHS Pay Scales 2024/25
The National Health Service (NHS) remains a cornerstone of British society, symbolizing unparalleled healthcare achievements and accessibility for nearly 75 years. More than just infrastructure, the NHS thrives because of its devoted healthcare workers, the very individuals who rose to the occasion during the pandemic and continue to work tirelessly under demanding conditions. Their commitment ensures that the UK populace receives exemplary care during times of need.
Introduction to NHS Pay Rises
Historically, the government has implemented a series of pay rises for NHS staff, acknowledging their crucial role in our healthcare system. These increases have been essential not only for the financial wellbeing of NHS staff but also for enhancing morale, and attracting and retaining talent within the healthcare sector. Despite these efforts, the current economic climate dictates a greater need for support among NHS workers.

At The Workers Union, we stand in full support of the NHS and its workforce.

The Workers Union Advocates for an NHS Workers Pay Rise
The Workers Union, a committed advocate for better pay and conditions for NHS staff, has been instrumental in pushing for a cost of living adjustment in the 2023-4 period, along with improved working conditions. In response to these efforts, the government has proposed a 5% pay rise for NHS staff in England from April 2023, complemented by a one-off payment to further support the workforce. However, with inflation rates hovering around 10%, the proposed adjustments fall short of meeting the actual cost of living increases faced by NHS employees.
