This week we<a href="https://rcni.com/nursing-standard/newsroom/analysis/nursing-pay-scandal-are-bank-shift-staff-being-cheated-employers-223246" rel="noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">&nbsp;published a special investigation</a>&nbsp;into cuts to bank pay and shifts, which are costing some nursing staff hundreds of pounds a month in lost income. Joining us on the podcast this week are representatives from the RCN north west region Simon Browes and Paul O’Keefe, who talk to senior journalist Shruti Sheth Trivedi about how bank cuts are affecting nursing staff and why. Our guests warn of a ‘talent drain’ in nursing and describe the changes as ‘exploitation' exacerbated by employers’ drive to save money.
