Various health organisations have all come together to try and stand against the abuse and also the violence that is happening against nurses and other NHS staff. This is during the latest phase of the coronavirus pandemic. The open letter has been publicised and it has been signed by various representatives, including the Royal College of Nursing and even the Royal College of Midwives too. Of course, if you work as part of a nurse agency or if you work with a nursing recruitment agency then you will know how the pandemic has affected the healthcare system. Various staff have been subjected to behaviour that is simply unacceptable. They have also been faced with abuse when they have asked people to wear a mask, even though they are in a hospital setting. To those who have incited violence against them, or those who have issued death threats, the nurses want you to know that enough is enough and that it simply will not stand anymore. It comes after the chief of the RCM, who is Gill Walton, was subjected to a lot of abuse after she chose to back a national appeal to try and get pregnant women vaccinated. The RCM have come out to say that midwives and various other NHS staff are also facing a lot of harassment.

Meanwhile, you have the chief of the ICN, who has revealed that unfortunately, nurses from all around the world are now receiving verbal attacks that are all in relation to the vaccine. In the earlier stage of the pandemic, there were a lot of reports that were saying that nurses were even being spat at as well.
This is not acceptable at all and people are now trying to stand up for what they believe is right. They want to try and make sure that they do what they can to try and give support to those who need it the most.
