BREAKING 🚨| Joint #StrikeMap x @nhsworkerssayno.bsky.social statement on the incredible re-banding and backpay win for Phlebotomists at Homerton Hospital 💉🩸

"We re-affirm our unwavering solidarity with the Gloucestershire phlebotomists and call on their Trust to settle.

1/3
Strike Map logo. Text reads: HOMERTON PHLEBOTOMISTS WIN! Good Enough for Homerston, Good Enough for Gloucester. NHS Workers Say No logo. As health workers across grades, disciplines, and unions, we'd like to extend our congratulations to the phlebotomists at Homerton Hospital in London for their victory on rebanding and backpay this week. Like many NHS workers, phlebotomists all over the country have spent years performing clinical work above their grade and this new victory in London, after similar victories in Swansea, Hertfordshire, and Merseyside, re-confirms the recognition of phlebotomy as, at least, a Band 3 role. This outcome makes it all the more appalling that Gloucestershire Hospitals Trust has still not settled what is now the longest running strike in NHS history. The Trust, under the leadership of CEO Kevin McNamara - who left his previous Trust in the wake of allegations of bullying - has refused to recognise their phlebotomists' legitimate claims and instead worked tirelessly the break the strike and undermine the phlebotomists' position. We re-affirm our unwavering solidarity with the Gloucestershire phlebotomists and call on their Trust to settle. If it's good enough for Homerton, it's good enough for Gloucester! Victory to the Gloucestershire plebotomists!
