Don’t do it. Don’t volunteer. The public sector needs to stop being run on good will. They’ve gotten away with it for far too long.
EDIT: by “they” I mean the government.
A £30m contract to a private organisation, instead of just lifting staff wages to improve in house recruitment and retention.. 🙄
Hospitals just need to stop offering healthcare to politicians. After a few deaths they’ll probably get round to fixing it.
Scabs. The word you are looking for is scabs, not volunteers
Why don’t they just offer better wages? Then people will be rushing to help! I just don’t get it. You get companies saying “we just don’t have enough staff!” Yeah okay, while that’s true your job ads always say “£9 an hour, you will be expected to basically live on site year round” if you pay the same as stocking shelves at Tesco (no disrespect to our Tesco heros, your work is invaluable) but the job is massively more strenuous don’t be surprised when no one turns in an application..
Crazy to think it is the Tories causing the UK to be more socialist than it ever has been.
Now imagine for a minute that the city of London (yes those awful banker’s that everyone hates) imagine they close the banks due to Brexit and public hate. That’s £23bn in tax revenue gone ! A good chunk of the cost of a free access NHS and a massive tax deficit that no amount of volunteers could fill.
Are volunteers doing this for free, and a cup of tea or coffee?
But I already clapped my hands and banged my pans for the NHS. What more do they want!? /s
133,000 vacancies. No wonder we’re fucked. The pressure on those currently working in the NHS must be unbearable.
If you voted Tory, it’s your god damned responsibility to go and help the NHS.

Do not cross the picket line, there are only class traitors and scabs the other side of that line.
And for goodness sake don’t volunteer
If there’s a job worth doing, there’s a bloke worth paying.
Don’t do owt for nowt unless tha does it for thi sen.
Free healthcare for volunteers. Oh wait… fcuk that!
I hate this. Nobody forget what the Tories have done to us.
I was voluntold to help the NHS during the covid pandemic in the vaccination centers. I have never seen anything run so badly before. Different management changing how to run things more or less on a daily basis, no consistency and poor communication and planning.
They need to make cuts, cut of getting alcoholics getting shitfaced on a Friday night from ambulance. Cut off dirty smokers
Governments the world over are in the Trillions and Trillions in debt that will never be paid ever, so ask yourself this, is it about money or control?
After all the horror stories of NHS there will be more people less inclined to study or do courses to become nurse, doctor etc which means an even bigger shortage. I know I’m gonna tell my.kids don’t bother being a nurse or doctor look after number 1.
Cant wait to see MPs on the front lines working 14 hour shifts.
I’ll be standing in my doorway clapping them on.
Stop mandatory sick pay.
If you can phone in sick and still get paid. People will and do.
Few years ago I heard a German chap on the radio saying that in Germany charity is frowned upon as it is a sign of a failed government,
tories bstards see it as a badge of honour.
My husband went to have his vaccine and they had load volunteers there . To many he thought
Yet where they need they can’t work as they need training and no one wanna work in a&e
And do what, exactly? What job in the NHS outside the office can be done by a random bod?
How can you draft volunteers? A draft is compulsory, and the antithesis of volunteering.
So as well as expecting nurses to take a pay cut, not being allowed to strike, the Tories now want a workforce to work for free. TWP! Own this shit each and every tory voter, this is your fault!
could just pay nhs staff more or is rishi using this as an excuse to privitise
Tories will love it, or hate it, ie it could mess the Tories plans up to break the NHS, or they’d use it and expect volunteers in the future, to help keep workers wages low.
The winter crisis is due lack of beds, clinical staff and places for those patients to be discharged too / needing more step-down beds etc.
Volunteers won’t do shit all to the winter crisis. Also I have never been an advocate of getting volunteers to be involved with caring for seriously vulnerable people… that is a receipe for disaster.
Can I volunteer as a brain surgeon or heart surgeon?
Meanwhile BT has just raised its broadband price 15%. Due to inflation or something.
My last annual tax statement: pie chart showed approx £800 for health and social care. Wife similar. So £1600 for a couple. Rates include some social care on top of that. We all need to pay more but Brits don’t want higher taxes or fees. ‘Someone’ should ‘do something’ about ‘it’. Eg them billionaires ( relatively few with movable wealth) or ‘we need more staff’ ( can’t we just rip off the Philippines and take their staff? etc). Always someone else. And God forbid we should eat better and exercise ourselves. The tsunami of Diabetes 2 is going to dwarf all this. Aussies have a mixed complicated payment system but a middle income Aussie might pay around £2k equivalent a year. Finns, for example get a certain number of treatments then you pay- €20-30 for a GP session etc. I’m in favour of raising tax to pay by the way as it’s excellent value. That said, a health plan to bypass the NHS on lots of things- especially preventative treatments might cost us £2k a year and plenty will start to think about that. I just wish we’d all stop thinking it’s ‘free’. The Germans do state guaranteed and regulated private insurance. At least they’re not pretending.
JFC. Is this where we are at? Gramps could be having a heart attack and we rely on volunteers to make sure he makes it?
Jesus wept
Work-shy weirdos are gonna get to feel like heroes this christmas.
Another step in degrading the NHS when what is needed is more full time staff, less bank staff and the Tories out as they degrade our NHS with one objective which is have a system like in the United States run of course by big bucks, parasitic United States health insurance companies..
