The Gloves are Off
Scottish elections 2026
Nursing is demanding action, not promises
The Gloves are Off for ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff because five years on from the last Scottish parliament elections, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff have seen no meaningful improvement to health and care services, whether in the NHS or independent sector.
Scotland cannot build the sustainable ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ workforce it urgently needs by asking staff to continue to work under relentless pressure while feeling demoralised and undervalued.
So, ahead of the 2026 Scottish Parliament election, our message is simple - the gloves are off, ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ is ready to be heard.
Let’s all get involved and ensure politicians from all parties recognise that it's time to value ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ properly - because Scotland’s health depends on it.
Our manifesto
The impact this all has on ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ staff is huge. They are unable to provide the best possible care to Scotland’s population.
Find out what we are calling on the next Scottish government to do to value ÌÀÍ·ÌõÎÛÁÏ properly.
