British Thyroid Foundation Update

Lindsey Marston2022-04-26T10:00:04+01:00

An update from Lorna Pankethman BIOS representative at the British Thyroid Foundation (BTF) Apologies for a very long overdue update but better late than not at all!

All 14 unions (including BIOS) signed up to the collective call for an urgent NHS retention package, with an inflation busting pay rise at its heart. This package, which aims to help the NHS hold on to increasingly disillusioned staff, formed the basis of the joint union evidence submitted to the NHS [...]
