Medical scientist are striking all over the country today for #equalpayforequalwork

We are a high qualified staff who have worked so hard under pressure to ensure the best quality patient care.

I was the on-call consultant last night when lab services were curtailed, not a fun scenario. But as a former lab scientist I wholeheartedly support the strike. Lab Medicine is the core of high standards in Irish healthcare, quiet champion of good outcomes. #MedicalScientists

⚠️ Catastrophic recruitment & retention crisis

✅ Their ask of #equalpayforequalwork is wholly reasonable

There are roughly 2,500 Medical Scientists in Ireland.
They are the engine behind the scenes in hospitals.
Without them tomorrow, healthcare comes to a standstill.
Please support their Industrial Action seeking equal pay and career advancement opportunities with colleagues.

Solidarity with #MedicalScientists as they prepare for industrial action next Weds. Tánaiste says WRC and Labour Court stand at the ready...but what about DoH, DPER, HSE? There's a win-win here if they're willing to grasp it.
